Mark your calendars!  All seniors and Master's candidates who are eligible to graduate in May are invited to attend one of SMPA's most popular events of the year: the SMPA Graduation Breakfast and Recognition Ceremony on Saturday, May 19th, 2012!

1) Tickets are not required for the buffet breakfast, which will be available from 9:00-11:00am.  However, students must RSVP the total number of attendees from their family to  smpa@gwu.edu by Wednesday, May 9 so we don't run out of food.

2) Because this annual SMPA tradition is so popular, we will be hosting two graduate recognition ceremonies that morning in our Jack Morton Auditorium.  The schedule will be as follows:

9:00-9:30am: Journalism and Mass Communication majors
10:30-11:00am: Political Communication majors and Master's candidates

Due to the size of the auditorium, each student is guaranteed only four tickets (one student ticket, plus tickets for up to three guests) to their recognition ceremony.  These tickets must be picked up from the front desk at MPA 400 before 5pm on Wednesday, May 9.  We will follow up with those who already have RSVP'd to confirm ticket information.

Should you require extra tickets for the auditorium, or have any questions about this event, please notify Samara Sit at samara@gwu.edu; she will contact you if and when more tickets become available.  Those guests without tickets to the recognition ceremony will be able to watch a live video feed on the lower level of the MPA building. 
 
These recognition ceremonies are SMPA's opportunity for faculty to say farewell and to recognize award winners and special honors students.   We look forward to celebrating your accomplishments.
