Media Advisory: Wake Forest 2013 Commencement ceremony
Wake Forest’s commencement ceremony remains on schedule to be held outside on Hearn Plaza at 9 a.m. Monday, May 20.
Weather forecasts currently call for a possibility of light, scattered showers in this area on Monday morning. Severe weather is not expected, according to multiple local meteorologists the University has consulted.
If plans change due to unexpected severe weather, the University will inform local news media, place information prominently on the University’s website (www.wfu.edu) and send an email message to graduates by 7 a.m. Monday.
Because the ground is expected to be wet and showers may be in the area, the University encourages everyone attending to dress accordingly. Some may want to bring a raincoat, plastic poncho or hat to wear, as well as shoes appropriate for damp ground. Open umbrellas during the ceremony are strongly discouraged.
Live streaming is planned for the commencement ceremony at http://go.wfu.edu/livestream. The live stream also will be broadcast on the University’s cable TV channel and can be seen in Pugh Auditorium in Benson University Center.
Additional details on commencement weekend are available at http://commencement.wfu.edu.
