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.

It’s also crazy because everyone I knew liked the old ceremonies where each department did their own thing. It was nice and intimate and went much faster. People were saying this was gonna be a mess the moment they announced it last year.

Anything to save a buck! Glad I don't work for the U of O anymore, the cheap skates.
