Any mass communication student graduating with honors this Fall 2017 semester,
will have to come back after graduation during Spring to attend their Honor’s
Assembly. This is because there is only one Honors Assembly celebration per year, usually held in May, for both Mass Communication and the GAPP programs. So, since this doesn’t make any sense as the reason for this is
having a “limited budget” and this defeats the purpose of a student being
celebrated for their hard work before they actually graduate, there is the
following proposal:
Hold an Honors Assembly this
Fall 2017 semester for ONLY the honor-roll graduating Mass Communication
Students (IMC, CMA, MJ), since apparently GAPP is mainly Master’s Degrees
and based on the graduating list, almost, or nearly none of the programs under it have students
graduating this Fall.
Sign if you agree, please! Thank you!

The volume of support has reached a level where we can now request a formal meeting with the department administration. I am currently drafting a letter to present our proposal for a fall assembly to the dean. Expect another update as soon as I receive a response regarding a scheduled time to discuss this change.

this is so unfair. we worked just as hard as anyone else and we deserve to be recognized when we finish not months later.
I already have a job lined up in another state by spring so I wont even be here. pls change this.

total joke. fixing the budget shouldn't mean punishing the students who actually did the work. just have the ceremony already.
