Fix Graduation

February 13, 2013
Refining the graduation experience to better reflect the rigor of our masters programs remains the core objective of this initiative. Ongoing discussions regarding the logistics of separating our ceremony from the undergraduate event are currently in progress with administration. Your feedback continues to provide the necessary leverage to advocate for a more focused academic celebration.

The momentum behind this initiative demonstrates that our graduate students share a clear vision for the recognition of their academic accomplishments. This collective response confirms that the request for a distinct ceremony reflects the needs and preferences of our community.

My family is flying out and they dont want to wait half the day just for my name to be called. Separate ceremonies makes way more sense.
It just makes sense. The undergrad speeches dont even relate to us. We need something that actually acknowledges the masters degree.
The grad ceremony is way too long when its combined. Masters students deserve their own moment after all the extra work we put in.
Keep it separate please. Tired of sitting through hours of undergrad stuff when were there for our own milestone.
Totally agree. We worked hard for this advanced degree and it should feel like it.

Parking is already a nightmare on campus as is. Combining everything is just gonna make it impossible for our families to get there.
