This is a no brainer...just change the date and we all will be happy.

Change the date if you must [but do it quickly] but keep graduation at the Auditorium. How could you do that? If you had put a theatre in your new building like you should have, maybe this wouldn't have happened.

It's truly a shame this is even necessary. Everyone deserves to walk across THAT stage.

The class of 2015 deserves the incredible privilage that every other class gets and has gotten.

People have family members coming from out of town. And there are other events happening that have been planned for. CCPA's senior showcase being one example. To uproot these plans is just plain inconsiderate of a group of people who have funneled a great deal of money into this school. It doesn't seem right for a University to devalue it's graduating class in this way.

A univeristy not prioritizing it's graduating class and their accomplishments is truly appalling to me. Please not only ensure us our venue, but a timely ceremony that would coincide with other graduation events, such as things within certain majors. This date has been on the academic calendar since we were freshmen and a lot of planning and anticipation has gone in to it for traditions to be changed now. We have worked too hard and put in too much of our finances and lives to be brushed off at the end of our time here. I would love my family to be able to celebrate my accomplishment with me as was promised, planned for and invested in.

If you want me to give money as an alumni, let me graduate in the auditorium theatre as you promised 4 years ago.

sure the draft might be a "once in a lifetime" opportunity, but so is the hopes of these students that have worked for the "once in a lifetime" opportunity to walk the stage and get their degree in that location.

I understand the great opportunity hosting the NFL draft would be but pushing graduation back one day to allow for the draft to conclude is not that much to ask. This is important to the students and, therefore, should be important to the staff. Please reconsider.

I've looked forward to graduating on this stage for four years...not negating the draft, but we're important too. We give our time, energy, and money to this school. I don't want disappointment at graduation to be what I remember about Roosevelt.

after all the tuition that each of those students has paid in four years, that must out weigh the draft. Let those kids graduate at their own school!!!

As a Roosevelt grad myself, I feel it is a huge blow to the current seniors and all the hard work they put in to not allow them to graduate on the Auditorium stage.
