4. Letters to graduation cermony participants -- We call and ask the people if they would be willing to serve our students by fulfilling the particular role in our service that we desire. If they agree, we follow it up with a letter. At the service, we ensure that everyone who is participating in the service have a corsage (including the servers at the reception).

5. Graduate Letters.

Student letter with Invitation. This letter is sent to the graduating student approximately one month prior to graduation and includes graduation invitations that the student can give to family and friends inviting them to the commencement service.

Graduation Participation letter. This letter is sent out one week prior to graduation to the graduates and contains some of the same info that the student letter did that we sent one month prior to graduation but also includes final details for graduation -- when they should arrive, where they should go, etc.
