INDUCTION CEREMONY Problem faced: Although the arrangement was systematic and inductees have been asked to standby at the side first but there were too many inductees. An average per inductee is about 5mins as the inductee will take some time to remove their mortar board and picture to be taken. Solution: Remain the systematic arrangement and ask inductees to standby earlier by removing their mortar board first before heading to stage. Induction event should start earlier, so dinner event will start on time.
