The Graduation Committee is a ~~relatively~~ small, event-based committee. It has three [[Graduation Committee#Events|major events]] throughout the academic year, so the time commitment peaks around these event dates (one in fall semester and two in winter semester). The committee is overseen by the [[Graduation Committee#Committee_Roles|committee ~~chair~~]], and tasks are distributed among committee members based on availability and interest. This is an excellent committee to join if you want to get a better look at event planning for 200-500 people or have any interest in design, event layout, acquiring permits, ~~arts and crafts~~, organizing volunteers, etc.!

The wine and cheese for students graduating in the "winter" semester (i.e. May), is generally much larger due to a larger number of graduating students. As such, there are generally two separate wine and cheeses to accommodate more people. This means that we also require more volunteers for the winter, because there is essentially twice as much work to be done.

===~~Plumbers~~' Ball===

===[[Plumber's Ball]]===

~~Plumbers~~' Ball is the engineering formal event of the year. Taking place annually in spring, this event is a beautiful night for graduating students to celebrate their accomplishments with their classmates and non-graduating friends~~.

==Committee Roles==

===Committee Chair===

The committee chair is responsible for the execution of the fall/winter Iron Ring Wine & Cheese ceremonies and ~~Plumbers~~' Ball in the spring. This includes assembling the Graduation Committee in the beginning of the fall semester by releasing public applications, collecting and reviewing the applications, and interviewing potential candidates. In addition, the committee chair leads the meetings of the committee as they plan their three major events, oversees the delegation of the event responsibilities, and supports the team throughout the planning process. Finally, the committee chair coordinates the timeline of the major events, and arranges the scheduling of ancillary tasks such as tabling and set-up for the events. The committee chair is also responsible for overseeing the budget for Graduation Committee, no small feat as it has the third largest budget of all EUS committees.
