Do you agree with how many graduations we have at our school. It is very common at many of the other HBCU's and Universities that they have one graduation a year. Can you believe that? Do you think we have too many compared to other schools. We have 3 graduations total every year spring, summer and fall. I like to think of it as a blessing. Could you imagine that if you didn't pass a class in the spring semester having to wait a whole year before eligible to walk across the stage ? Or even if we had one graduation in may that means the time period and the space that we have wouldn't be enough. I love the way we have many graduations here it gives everyone a chance to catch up if they slip or if they need extra at the last minute. What do you think ?
My undergrad only had one graduation per year: spring. If you graduated early, you had to come back to campus to walk. If you had one class to go, you had to wait the full year. It was a pretty big incentive to get done, I guess?
ReplyDeleteI have been to graduations at big universities (like 1000's of people walking) and all of the colleges did them together...it literally took four hours. For that, I am glad Prairie View splits them up!
ReplyDeleteI would like to think of this as a blessing as well! There would not be too many happy campers if they were to either not pass a class like you said or even miss when it was being offered. It also helps to make the ceremonies not so long.
