Registration for ancillary events such as White Coat ceremonies, Military Commissioning and other celebrations is open. Faculty should RSVP to attend no later than Wednesday, April 24, 2024.
EVMS will provide rental regalia for all faculty participants who do not have their own regalia. Regalia information will be collected in your Commencement registration form. The deadline to register to participate in the Commencement Ceremony was Friday, March 1, 2024. Faculty interested in participating after the registration deadline should contact EVMS Special Events.
All faculty regalia will be shipped to EVMS Special Events and distributed on campus the two weeks prior to Commencement. You will receive email communication about your regalia pick-up window. If you are unable to pick up your regalia in advance of Commencement, you will be asked to designate a representative to pick it up on your behalf.
Faculty who are not Platform Party are responsible for bringing regalia to Commencement on Saturday, May 18, 2024. Faculty who are part of the Platform Party should follow the regalia instructions they will receive by email.
EVMS staff will be on site to assist with donning regalia. EVMS faculty are permitted to wear honor cords, Fine Family Academy of Educators or other stoles and medallions they have earned at EVMS and should bring them on Commencement Day. Please read more about Faculty Academic Honors.
EVMS recognizes all military graduates, faculty and platform party members (whether active duty, reserve, guard, veteran or retired) at Commencement by bestowing a military honor cord to be worn with academic regalia. Participants who meet the criteria should indicate so on their registration. The military cord will be provided with regalia and may be worn in addition to other honor society cords and/or stoles. The military cord may be worn with academic regalia, with cord worn under the hood.
