Pre-Event
We have gone
down for a rehearsal for the Specialize Diploma (SD) Graduation on 2 April
2015. During the rehearsal, we were briefed about the flow of the event such as
knowing our roles, time to report on the actual day, the dress code and ran
through the entire event twice. Therefore, we had a better understanding of the
flow of the event on the actual day.
Event Day
On the
actual event, which was on the 10 April 2015, we had to report at 2.30pm at lecture
hall 2 at level 1 to be prepared for the Graduation Ceremony to commence.
Getting
ready at the reception table as the event was about to commence.
While the awardees registered their names at the reception
table, they were each given a small slip of paper to write their names and thereafter
pass the slip to the emcees so that they can identify them better when announcing
their names to receive their awards.
Gradually, there were more graduates making their way to the
lecture hall and we had to manage the crowd at the reception area thus some of
us went inside the lecture hall to usher the awardees to their seats after they
have registered their names.
The awardees were
seated according to their diplomas and waited patiently for the event to
commence.
Upon the commencement
of the ceremony, the senior Director of the School of Business Management gave
a motivating speech to the awardees and congratulated them for their handwork.
After the ceremony,
the awardees proceeded for refreshments outside the lecture hall.
Post
Event
After the event has ended, we were given a debrief by the
coordinator and the logistics team had to return the fixtures back to the
fixtures room.
In a nutshell, the SD graduation went smoothly and we were
elated to share the joy with the awardees during the graduation day. However,
we took some time to manage the crowd at the reception area but we managed to
overcome it by ushering them quickly to their seats. It was a good experience
for us to execute this event and made us look forward to attending our
graduation ceremony next year.
