University of Louisiana Graduation Times Moved UP

[STPacronym]

If I am seeing this correctly, graduation and the New Orleans bowl are both on December 17...... and I have a daughter graduating.... Say it aint so.............................

In another thread it has been stated that graduation will be moved to accomadate travel to New Orleans bowl.

There letting the students vote on moving graduation or not. I think they should have just moved it...

UL needs an overall event coordinator, not just for known events but potential events as well.

The survey for the students that are graduating is open until 10 pm tonight. The email that I received says that the times of the ceremonies would be the same, except that they would be on Friday the 16th instead of the Saturday. I don't see them moving it because it seems like it would be an inconvience for some (family coming in from out of town, people have to work, stuff like that). But I could be wrong.

I just hope that if they keep it on Saturday they move the times up. I think usually the business ceremony isn't until 3pm? Seems like that's what someone said, but i'm not positive.

ESPN has covered the last few N.O. Bowls from what I can remember. And yes, the game is at night.

Then why change the date? I'm graduating, my dad and extended family can't make it if it's on Friday, LSU's is on Friday (have cousins there)... mine starts at noon giving me plenty of time; maybe the later colleges can move up an hour or two?

If it's on Friday, seniors will be hungover and late for their graduation...regardless, I *will* be at that game

Senior hungover and late for graduation? That happens no matter what time it's scheduled.

It might be hard for some students that want to make the N.O. Bowl with a Saturday graduation. IMO, a Friday graduation will make it much easier for all graduating students to make the game.

Why doesn't UL just move graduation activities from the Cajundome to the Superdome? Start at 9:00 AM, cut out the guest speakers (usually just politicians anyway), hand out diplomas, everyone then heads to Bourbon St. for a big graduation party and then everyone returns to a sold out Superdome for a great Cajun victory!!! It would be the best UL graduation ever. LOL!!!
