Are you excited about attending the Kansas University commencement ceremony?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on May 18, 2008
“Yeah. I’m not necessarily excited about sitting through all the speeches, but I’m very excited about walking down the hill.”
“You know, I’m not that big into KU spirit, but all of the excitement on Mass. Street after the games kind of got me into it. So I am pretty excited, and I’m looking forward to my family being there and getting to see Lawrence for the first time.”
“I am not. I got tricked into getting my cap and gown. My mom told me we were going shopping for championship T-shirts. But they paid for college, so the least I can do is walk down the hill for them.”
“Yes, just to be there with my friends and family. I’m graduating with a lot of my friends. I have 11 roommates, and we’re all walking down together.”

Hello all from Shanghai.Nope, not very excited. It would be something of a long commute for me, I'm afraid.

I wish I could! The KU campus is so beautiful this time of year. I didn't even get to attend the two times I graduated--was off in the Tetons the first time (1961) and down at Lake Powell, in AZ the second time (1965)--with no money to get back to Lawrence. I did get to attend a friend's graduation in 1964, so I know what an impressive event that is!
