Hello All,

We are nearing the end of another academic year. The Native American Graduation is for all Native students and Native American Studies students on our Sac State campus. If you or you know of anyone who has graduated during the summer or fall 2010 or who will graduate during the spring or summer 2011 please contact me or have them contact me as soon as possible or give me their name and contact information. I wish to further develop our list as soon as possible. It is a special honoring. Graduates have the opportunity to bring their friends and family. Some students find this a good time to honor those who have helped them along the way. None of us do this alone.

Also for all, I encourage you to attend to support those who have graduated this past year or will graduate. It is an important time for all to be present as a community.

In addition, if any of you Sac State students would like to help in setting up the event, it would be much appreciated. (grins) I would prefer those who are graduates not to help set up this is your time to relax with family and friends.

For those of you who are the graduates on this list . . . Congratulations!!!! Please contact me! I need the following information:
Name as you wish it on the program
If Native which Tribal Nation are you from? How would you like that on the program?
What is your major/s and minor/s?
When did or do you officially graduate?
Will you be attending and how many guests?
If you have photos of yourself during your time at Sac State please let me know where they are from and who is in the photo. We are creating a powerpoint that will run continuous. Please send photos by May 15. Thank you.
Graduates – If you have anyone who you would like to have speak or give an honoring at the graduation please send me the suggestion in an email. We don’t have a lot of funding so we try to keep people more local, but open to suggestions. Thank you!

I always am sure to miss someone who should be on the list, so please feel free to forward this to anyone who you know that would be appropriate. Any omissions are purely an accident and I apologize in advance.
I have attached a PDF of the announcement.
We all wish you the very best!

Sincerely,
Annette Reed
