At Ithaca College, the position of marshal for degree candidates is one of the highest honors bestowed on graduating seniors. These marshals are selected in February for the Commencement ceremony in May. Selected students are, with a few exceptions, the undergraduates who have maintained the highest GPA in their respective schools.

Complete the Senior Survey to Receive Your Diploma
Every year we ask our graduates to complete the First Destination Survey to share their post-graduation plans. The information we receive helps our campus enhance experiences and curriculum that benefit our students. The survey takes less than 5 minutes to complete and, as of 2024, it is a task that must be completed for graduation. You will not receive your diploma in the mail until you have completed your survey!
Not sure what you’re doing yet? It’s okay to tell us that and go back later to update your survey once your plans are in place. If you need support in figuring out your plans, email the Center for Career Exploration & Development at careers@ithaca.edu.
