The CASE Library has created this collection to assist members who are planning commencement ceremonies during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Advancement Resource Catalog is the Library's database of 15,000+ item records (including articles, books, and white papers) available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 

The CASE Library frequently receives questions on special events, particularly on best practices for planning and executing an event and on measuring event success. In light of these requests, we have developed this resource collection with accompanying sample materials.

For members seeking information on a variety of advancement topics, the CASE Library’s Advancement Resource Catalog provides a central stop for resources on topics including campaign planning, engaging non-traditional alumni, and the latest research in the world of advancement.

The CASE Library has assembled a list of favorite resources covering nonprofit boards; school, college and university governing boards; and institutionally related foundation boards. Books on our list help answer questions about board roles, responsibilities, structure and committees, meetings and new member orientation. Research reports are included to help members locate data about board composition, policies and practices.

This issue of Currents looks closely at events on the eve of graduation season in many countries around the world. Events at their best are symbols, moments, markers, sources of celebration, and ways to meet engagement objectives.
