TRANSCRIPT:
For South Carolina Public Radio, I'm Dr. Rénard Harris from the College of Charleston. This is Teachable Moments, a minute of education for students and parents.
As rites of passage go, few are as momentous as college graduation. The commencement ceremony marks the end of one journey and the beginning of another.
To ensure a smooth process, students should plan ahead and stay informed of deadlines. There are lots of moving parts from determining eligibility to graduate to ordering flowers. Connecting with academic advisers and the university registrar will help students understand the specific graduation requirements for their college.
When the big day arrives, prepare for heightened emotions. Do your best to be fully present to appreciate the incredible achievement and to say goodbye to one chapter of your life.
For the College of Charleston, I’m Dr. Rénard Harris
