SOUTHFIELD—Receptions and ceremonies will mark Commencement Weekend Friday and Saturday on the Southfield campus of Lawrence Technological University.
And LTU’s women’s lacrosse team will play for a national championship Saturday afternoon to boot.
The festivities begin today with a traditional “pinning ceremony” for students in LTU’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at 4 p.m. in the Marburger Auditorium, Room S100, of LTU’s Science Building (building 7 at www.ltu.edu.map). In the ceremony, nurses pledge to make patient care and confidentiality their first priority.
At 5 p.m., LTU’s engineering graduates will participate in an Order of the Engineer ceremony in the atrium of the Buell Building (building 5). In the ceremony, engineers take a solemn oath to “practice integrity and fair dealing, tolerance and respect…conscious always that my skill carries with it the obligation to serve humanity by making the best use of the Earth’s precious wealth.”
Tomorrow, Saturday, May 6, LTU will hold two Commencement Exercises—the first, at 10 a.m., for its Colleges of Architecture and Design, Arts and Sciences, and Business and Information Technology, along with Specs@LTU, LTU’s renamed Specs Howard School of Media Arts. A second ceremony at 1:30 p.m. will honor graduates of LTU’s College of Engineering. The speaker for both exercises is author and cosmologist Janna Levin. A graduate of Barnard College of Columbia University and MIT, Levin’s scientific research focuses on the early universe, chaos, and black holes. She has worked at both Barnard College and the Ruskin School of Fine Art and Drawing at Oxford University. Her publications and other scholarly work, combining science and art, cover everything from relativity and quantum mechanics to the solar system and our home Milky Way galaxy.
And at 5 p.m., LTU’s women’s lacrosse team will play for a national championship. LTU was the No. 2 seed in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics women’s lacrosse tournament after posting a 14-1 regular-season record. The team beat Missouri Baptist University 13-9 in a quarterfinal game Wednesday, and beat Life University (Ga.) 11-4 in a Thursday semifinal to reach Saturday’s final. They will take on Savannah College of Art and Design in that game, held at Blue Devils Stadium on 10 Mile Road just west of Evergreen Road.
