- Ladies should consider wearing flats or low heels because graduates will walk down stairs and hills. Ladies should also leave purses with family members or lock them in the vehicle trunks.
- Remember to allow ample travel time to Shorter’s campus. Other commencement exercises will also take place in Rome, so expect crowded roadways.
- Plan to arrive at least 90 minutes prior to your graduation ceremony time.
