Guests of the Class of 2010 are encouraged to park in Lot 2. Lot 2 is centrally located to the Senior Sendoff and to the Hippocratic Oath ceremony. It is a 10 minute walk from Lot 2 to CHS. Guests may drop off family members at the turn-around on Tiverton. What to Expect During the Hippocratic Oath Ceremony (HOC) The Hippocratic Oath Ceremony (HOC) will occur at Dickson Court North and will begin promptly at 5:00 p.m. with the formal Processional (the Processional is the march into Perloff Quad by the Candidates, Faculty, and Faculty Marshals). Parents, families and friends should plan on arriving approximately one hour prior to the Ceremony's scheduled start time; this will allow appropriate time for parking and the walk to the venue. Seating is on a first come, first seated basis; ushers will not permit saving seats, so please make sure your entire party is present when the Processional begins (attendance is usually around 3,000). The ceremony is comprised of student speakers, presentations of special awards, presentation of hoods and conferral of degrees, administration of the Hippocratic oath, and administration of the Benediction. Each student will be hooded and receive a scroll of the Hippocratic Oath from Dr. A. Eugene Washington, Vice Chancellor, Health Sciences and Dean, David Geffen School of Medicne at UCLA. The end of the ceremony is designated by the Recessional (the Recessional follows the Processional but in reverse order). The ceremony is about one hour and forty minutes in length; it should end at approximately 6:40p.m. with a reception in Dickson Court South immediately following. Map of Northeast Campus
The keynote address will be given by Gerald Levey, M.D., Dean Emeritus. Professional Photography Service Bob Knight Photomarketing Inc. will take a photograph of each graduate as he/she is hooded and shakes hands with the Dr A. Eugene Washington, Vice Chancellor, Health Sciences and Dean, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. A free color proof of the photo will be mailed to each graduate. You can also visit Bob Knight Photography at www.bobknightphoto.com
The use of handheld cameras and video is permitted and encouraged at all ceremonies on Commencement Weekend. For fire and life safety reasons, tripods are not allowed at any ceremony, and may not be set up in aisles, doorways, walkways or other areas. Several venues have photo areas set aside for the quick close up shot. Anyone is welcome into those areas, however, space is limited and we ask that you not stay in the photo area longer than 5 minutes in order to give other families a chance to take pictures. Tripods are not allowed in the designated photo areas. Flower sales booths will be located at the commencement venue (Dickson Court).
A special reception for you, your families and faculty will be held in Dickson Court South, which is directly across from Schoenberg Hall, immediately after the ceremony. What Time Should Dinner Reservations be Made? We suggest dinner reservations begin between 7:30 p.m. - 7:45 p.m. This allows for time at the reception, picture taking and the M.D. graduate returning his/her cap, gown and hood and picking up the diploma.
