As many of you know, this year the Dean of the College of Education as well as a few other faculty members have asked US AS STUDENTS to read our own names at graduation. What the Dean said in our class today (EDST 343) in terms of reading our own name: -the ceremony will be shorter (are we in a time limit all of a sudden?) -reduce mistakes that happen. I, as well as many other members of the Education Foundations Cohort ask that you please SIGN THIS PETITION so that we can have someone say our name as we walk across the stage. We have all worked so hard--and should be honored by having someone say our name (not doing it ourself). This takes one second. Let's be a unified front and voice our opinion as graduates of the College of Education. Thank you.

This is honestly so tacky. We worked for four years for a degree and the least they can do is read our names out loud.

Shorter ceremony? Just cut one of the boring speeches instead of making us do our own names. This is embarrassing.

My parents are coming from out of state for this. They want to hear my name announced properly not me whispering it into a mic while I walk.

The dean needs to get a grip. Nobody wants to announce themselves. It takes away the whole point of graduation.

Are you kidding me?? We pay so much for tuition and now we have to do the work at graduation too? Ridiculous.
