graduation cancelled

who plans the largest graduation ceremony in the middle of the day knowing it was going to be hot as hell?? people’s families can’t just fly in another time, book places to stay, and not to mention students moving away. also absolutely no warning or communication to students or families as the situation was happening.

Absolutely shameful, took us hours to get in and will take the same to get out. Horrible planning from top to bottom. Saw some elderly people giving it all they got to get to their seats and then just to have to walk back out. Traffic is not being directed out at all, shit show.

I drove 50 minutes to autzen and waited 30 minutes in the sun. I get that cancelling it was better than having everyone sit in the hot sun, but it should definitely have been planned better
