If the University Commencement Ceremony is moved indoors because of severe weather, who will be allowed to attend, given the more limited seating capacity in the Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center?
Each graduate who has stated that he/she will attend the University Commencement Ceremony will be allotted three “Severe Weather” tickets. Graduates and faculty will be admitted to the Purcell Pavilion without a ticket. Only guests with a Severe Weather ticket will be seated in the Purcell Pavilion. (It is likely that no academic procession will occur as part of the Severe Weather Plan with faculty and graduates being directed to the appropriate seating area as they enter the Purcell Pavilion.) The event will be broadcast live to the Joyce Center North Dome, auditoriums in the DeBartolo classroom building, and to other large auditoriums in nearby buildings, as announced. This will allow guests without a Severe Weather ticket to the Purcell Pavilion to view the event live.
