Call for fall 2024 commencement volunteers

Submitted by Commencement Committee

Fall 2024 commencement is right around the corner, and K-State will celebrate the achievements of its graduates. The university community has the opportunity to be a part of the celebration by volunteering.

With a full schedule of ceremonies, the dedicated commencement planning team is seeking volunteers to help make these events a success. View a schedule of all the ceremonies on the commencement website.

Volunteers are needed to assist throughout Dec. 13-14 in various capacities, including helping at the graduate assistance table, guiding graduates, and conducting essential ceremony floor duties, such as scanning and restocking commencement programs and diploma covers. If you are willing and able to lend a hand, please sign up as a commencement volunteer.

To ensure you're well-prepared for your volunteer role, an online training will be provided to all volunteers at the beginning of December. Those who work two shifts on Saturday, Dec. 14, will be provided with lunch. Volunteers working the graduate assistance table on the concourse should wear a business-appropriate K-State or purple shirt and comfortable shoes. Volunteers for the ceremony floor should wear black attire to blend in and comfortable shoes.

For any inquiries related to the ceremony or volunteering, please contact the commencement committee at commencement@k-state.edu.

Thank you in advance to all those who are able to assist at the fall 2024 commencement ceremonies.
