Graduation set to start at 10:00 and they don't open the doors to Reed until 9:30 and then they have scanner issues. It is now 10:00 and the entrance lines are still almost 1/2 mile long! Whoever is in charge of this needs to be replaced! What an embarrassment!

That really is bad and especially with all the elderly trying to get in and out of the heat.

I'd sure be complaining to any and all.

People at the front of the line are probably boycotting the national anthem.

So glad I'm not there
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

A&M sold VHS tapes of the graduation ceremony. I ordered one. When I received it, it was broken in sections. I called and they sent me another one. So I have 2.

I don't know if a DVD was available, but I was too cheap to buy one back then.

Went to the 4pm ceremony and the line was pretty long, too. But it moved at a good pace so no big deal.

I started at A&M 22 years ago, so I suspect some of my class's first round of post-Northgate dorm session babies to be walking the stage this year or next.

The best graduation ceremony was at Texas Motor Speedway. Tailgated in the center of the track and watched the boy "graduate" on the big screen. This was for high school during COVID.

Have another "graduating" this year and the ceremony will be held in some theatre at UNT. Not looking forward to that.

I also "graduated". They let me "walk" and gave me a "tube" that had a piece of paper that nicely said "You have not completed all requirements to graduate".

Everyone knows you don't go to graduation. Reed arena has really good Dr. Pepper for some reason though.

Doors should open an hour before the event. Scanners should have been tested the day before.
