The Class of 2023 and the fall Class of 2022 has recently been informed that Commencement this year might take place at the Hornet Stadium which is located outside.

Last year The University of California Davis held their Commencement ceremony outside at the University's Health Stadium with no shade. The University was unable to finish their outdoor commencement on Friday after various local agencies, including the fire department, urged the university to stop the ceremony. Approximately 12,500 students and families were baking in scorching heat without easy access to shade, officials said. Students later on Twitter reported that people with heat-related illnesses were taken away in ambulances at Health Stadium and the university said 34 calls were made for medical-related service and five people were transported to area hospitals during the commencement alone.

Therefore, this year's commencement should not be help outside at the Hornet Stadium, due to the safety of the students, faculty, and family attended this milestone memory for thousands of students. Students that have disabilities as well as families' members should not be expected to withstand the harsh Sacramento heat. The commencement is not inclusive of all individuals hoping to attend.

The NBA team, The Sacamento Kings, are possibly playing at the Golden One Center during the expected time of the university's commencement ceremony, which is the cause of the discussion to hold commencement at the Hornet Stadium.

The hard-working students, and their supporters deserve to have commencement within the Golden One Center, and indoors.
