Ah, Commencement season — when the robes come out, the students beam with pride and we all get to participate in our annual tradition: the line of march. Yes, it’s back! And once again, we’ve done our very best to put together a lineup that reflects hire dates provided by our excellent LLCC Human Resources office.
Now, before anyone gets too attached to their spot, a gentle reminder: the lineup is a living document. It changes with retirements, resignations and folks who’ve received permission to not participate in the pomp and circumstance this year. Basically, this list is like a group project; it’s always subject to last-minute edits.
The line-up is a best-guess map of where you’ll sit. Think of it less like a legally binding contract and more like a suggestion from a GPS: “Turn left here … or wherever works.” If you believe you’ve been misplaced, feel free to slide into the spot you believe is yours (preferably with grace, not elbows).
This year’s faculty marshals — Dr. Deborah Brothers and Dr. Joi Kazenski — will be your commencement guides, leading you to your seat with confidence and pizzazz.
A few additional notes for a smooth sendoff:
- There are 10 seats in a row. So, if someone ahead of you suddenly decides to celebrate from afar (i.e., excused absences or no-shows), you may shift up accordingly.
- Look for posted lineups when you arrive. You’ll want to find your designated line (Line A = house left, Line B = house right) row number and place. For your convenience, the line of march will be listed alphabetically and will look like this:

- Please do not bunch up at the front like you’re trying to catch a glimpse of Taylor Swift. Give everyone space to get in line peacefully.
- Most important is that we have two equal lines so if Vickie or Robin ask you to move, please do so.
If you need to sit this one out, please make sure you’ve requested and received an excused absence from the Office of the President.
When all is said and done, Commencement is all about our students — celebrating their hard work and achievements. Your presence means a lot to them, and we truly appreciate you being there to help make the moment memorable.
Let’s march on (with dignity, good humor and appropriate spacing)!
