How long does the Commemencement Ceremony Last?
The program starts around 10:30AM. In each of the past three years it started at 10:20AM. It should end before 12:30PM. Following the ceremony there will be a reception on the lawns outside the Forest Meadows Amphitheater. Punch and similar beverages and cookies/scones/similar will be served. Because the ceremony usually lasts about two hours, it is difficult for some people, especially those with medical issues, to sit in the sun and heat for that long. Be kind to your guests and inform them of the length of the program.
