Study Days under way; final exams May 14-17

With spring semester instruction officially completed yesterday, Fresno State is observing Study days today and Friday (May 10 and 11) to prepare for final exams that begin Monday and to consult with faculty members, if necessary.

Finals continue through Thursday, May 17. Commencement activities begin with convocations and the graduate hooding ceremony on May 18 and include the university’s 96th Commencement on May 19.

Preparation for the final days of activity began this week with Senior Experience in front of the Kennel Bookstore, where graduating seniors were treated to refreshments in celebration of completing the semester.

They also were surveyed regarding Senior Experience project services provided through the Office of Advising Services to help seniors navigate through the information and services available to them. Senior Experience is a program created to promote and celebrate the achievement of Fresno State seniors.

The Kennel Bookstore reports brisk sales of graduation apparel including caps, gowns, diploma frames, graduation announcements, certificates of appreciation, alumni clothing and gifts.

In addition to its regular hours next week, the bookstore will be open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. on May 18 and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on May 19. The store also will have a booth at the Save Mart Center for the hooding ceremony and also the morning of Commencement, which begins at 10 a.m.

Students are urged to shop early to guarantee sizes, said Kim Spencer, assistant merchandising buyer for Kennel. For information about graduation apparel, call 559.278 4268.

Students also are reminded that senior portrait photo sessions will be held in the Smittcamp Alumni House from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, May 16, and Thursday, May 17. Graduates may book a sitting online at www.ultimateexposures.com.
