Interested in carrying your flag if you are graduating in December?
Are you graduating this coming December? Would you like to carry your country's flag in the commencement ceremony? International students graduating in December will be able to carry their country's flag in the commencement procession. If you would like to represent your country, please email oiss@stthomas.edu no later than Friday, November 25th 2005 . Only one person per country and ceremony will be allowed to carry their country's flag.
According to the St. Thomas Flag Policy approved by the President's office, only flags of countries that are Member States of the United Nations can be carried. For a list of Member States of the United Nations click here .
The first person to sign up from a country will be that country's flag bearer. So, contact oiss@stthomas.edu immediately if you want to represent you country.
