The Shorthorn staff
Administrators cancelled summer commencement ceremonies
two weeks ago but are still trying
to get the word out to the university community.
The August ceremony was
cancelled for the low number of
graduates in the summer, people
not wanting to participate and
the high rate of no-shows, said
Amy Schultz, communications
and community relations associate vice president.
The cancellation
will not affect students’ academic achievement.
Administrators
have already attempted to inform
students through the TrailBlazer
newsletter and e-mail.
Schultz said candidates can attend a ceremony in the December, following their summer term.
Students filing for graduation in
the summer will receive individual
notices about the cancellation.
“We are hoping we can create an even more celebratory environment in December and May,”
Schultz said.
Schultz said the funds will go
to other university programs and
to make sure students are aware
of the change.
