For the media
If you take pictures during the ceremony, you must wear clear ID showing that you are a member of the press. We discourage family members from wandering around to take pictures, and your ID makes it clear you are working. Suggestions: 1) Right after each ceremony, students will be hugging each other, family members and faculty all over the Manchester Mall. 2) Some undergraduate students go all out decorating their mortarboard hats.
