Purpose: At Eastern Wyoming College the importance of employee in-service training doesn’t end with new workers and there are important trainings during critical times during the school year. In-service training at the beginning of each semester is important to all EWC employees and oftentimes involves workplace safety, productivity, and satisfaction. Graduation for our students is an important milestone for our faculty and staff to share in with our students and their families and is the appropriate way to acknowledge our students and their success.

Attendance at In-Service Training

  1. All employees (administrative, faculty, professional and classified) are required to attend the fall and spring in-service training.
  2. All employees will be at their desks and work centers during return week for fall and spring unless arrangements are made with their supervisor and approved by the EWC President.

Attendance at Graduation

  1. All faculty employees attend commencement in appropriate academic regalia (i.e., academic gown, hood, honor cordons, and head covering) and march in the processional.  Faculty employees must get prior approval from the Vice President of Student and Academic Services to miss commencement for extenuating circumstances.
  2. Non-faculty employees who are required to or who choose to march in the processional must wear appropriate academic regalia.
  3. Non-faculty employees who provide logistic support are not required to wear academic regalia or march in the procession.
  4. All employees attending commencement will behave in a professional manner reflective of the ceremony and in recognition of student achievement.
