Readers needed!
Do you have perfect enunciation? A booming, announcer’s voice? Excellent pitch, exquisite timing, and the skill to read from a tiny card without your glasses slipping?
Then you could be our next Commencement Ceremony Graduate Name Reader!
All kidding aside, the Graduation Office is in need of four faculty “readers” for the upcoming Summer Quarter Graduation ceremony on September 12 at Veterans Memorial.
Four readers are needed to read the names of graduates as they receive diplomas in four sections, divided alphabetically. We try to find readers that are faculty in one of the degree areas that are graduating, for example: in the Accounting through Electronic Engineering section, we look for, say, an instructor of Dental Hygiene.
The readers will be required to arrive at the graduation early to help check in each student, and go over their names and pronunciation as they line up for the processional.
If you have previously volunteered for this prestigious duty but have not yet been called upon, please remind the Graduation Office of your continuing interest. We will try to honor the first-come, first-served theory. Please email smay@cscc.edu.
Maliwesky receives award from OCAN
Marty Maliwesky
Marty Maliwesky, Dean of Enrollment Services, has been awarded the Jeannette Grasselli Brown College Access Volunteer Award, which is sponsored by the Student Loan Funding committee of the Ohio College Access Network (OCAN).
The award was created in recognition of Jeanette Grasselli Brown, a scientist for 38 years who retired from BP then continued to serve on several college and educational boards helping low income and first generation students succeed in college.
Maliwesky received the award because of his volunteerism in the I Know I Can program, his involvement in the State Financial Aid Association, and his work in helping first generation and adult students attend and succeed in college at Columbus State.
Maliwesky received his award and a $1,000 professional development stipend from OCAN at a ceremony held August 15. The awards were sponsored by Student Loan Funding and The Knowledge Works Foundation.
