About time they hold the ceremony somewhere that can accommodate more people, rather than the Winthrop King Center. The past couple of times they have had to ask people to leave and I think that anyone who wants to see their family or friend graduate should be welcome, even if tickets have to be sold.

How can people walking on the track possibly interfere with people from Shorter setting up for graduation? Do they really have to shut everything down at 4 p.m. today for something that isn't taking place until Saturday?

FRIDAY. It starts at 10am Friday, takes the place of the three separate graduations that Shorter had the past couple of years, and cleanup is scheduled to be over by 2 pm Friday.
