SEATING MARSHAL (#27)

Please read your instructions carefully (linked below) and please attend the rehearsal. We suggest that you print your instructions and bring them with you to the rehearsal and on Commencement Day. Each marshal group will have a team captain who will be available at the rehearsal and on Commencement Day to answer questions regarding these instructions.

Lining Up: Seating marshals will line up just in front of the faculty. (See the Marshal Lineup Chart NE below.) Please be in line (north lineup area on the Outdoor Practice Field) by 1:00 p.m.

Special Note - Procession: Seating marshals will process in two lines with the other faculty at the beginning of the ceremony, following the line of march shown on the Faculty Lineup Chart NE linked below. This year, for the first time, all four lines will be stanchioned from the beginning of the procession to the west end of the field and around the corner. During the procession you will take one of the two stanchioned middle lines. Process to the west end of the stadium, turn and continue to the center aisle, and then walk down the center aisle to your position in front of the stage.

On Commencement Day, all marshals need to check in at the Touchdown Terrace, which is located at the east end of Husky Stadium. You can get there via the northeast or southeast access roads (see the Location Map). Enter under the sign that says "Faculty/Disabled Student Entrance."
