we actually pulled it off and walked across that stage. i am honestly blown away by how many of you stepped up to make this happen for our class. keep an eye on your email for the final details on gown pickup and ceremony logistics.

Please sign this petition to convince UC Davis to allow for an in-person graduation this Spring, 2021. Many other large universities have found ways to conduct their in-person ceremonies safely. An in-person commencement would be a great consolation to the thousands of students who have lost a year of their college experience, an athletics season, the chance to study abroad, internships, and time with their community here in Davis. Don't let us miss this important rite of passage as well.

im still waiting for an official reply from the administration but ive been sending emails every day to keep the pressure on. seriously go look at the comments if you need a reminder of how much this ceremony means to everyone finished with this degree.

i honestly cant believe how many people are backing this and it feels like the uni really has to pay attention now. reading all your notes about wanting that stage moment keeps me going and shows we are all on the same page.

I’m sure there’s a safe way to allow for in person graduation. Dozens of other states are doing it.

If we can eat indoors during Covid then these kids can graduate outdoors while following proper social distancing protocols.

We deserve what other UCs are providing students. It is unfair to collect full tuition which includes a graduation ceremony we are not receiving.

Thousands of us have worked extremely hard to get a google slide as a form of "graduation." With appropriate measures such as getting tested prior to walking, demonstrating a negative COVID-19 test, limited guest, arranging seats 6 feet part and wearing masks is doable! Please do not take this away from us!

It would be an amazing opportunity to finish off college with an actual graduation. If the super bowl could happen, then graduation isn’t too far behind that. Especially if it could be divided in different days or time slots by last name to limit the amount of guests.
