Bring on the rain. This year, we're ready.

Commencement will be outside, in Library Plaza, rain or shine, and the Commencement
committee has done a few things to make sure everyone stays dry (or cool).

There will be limited seating in the Nott Memorial with closed-circuit television of
the ceremony. There also will be shade/rain seating under two large tents alongside the
Nott Memorial.

In case of rain, there will also be indoor seating in Memorial Chapel, Old Chapel,
Olin, and two rooms each in Social Sciences and Humanities. All rain locations will have
TV coverage of the Commencement.

And for those who choose not to take shelter from the rain?

Break out the ponchos. Guests will have access to clear plastic ones. Graduating
seniors get same, but with a distinctive Nott logo on the front.
