A Change.org petition calling for the university to postpone the graduation ceremony instead of holding it online has thousands of signatures
“The College will offer new opportunities to connect our graduates in a variety of ways that further enhance the virtual event,” the press release said.
“Please remember that, even for an event as momentous as commencement, the day does not define the journey,” the press release concluded. “We will work diligently to make graduation as special as possible for all of our students and all of your loved ones. Even when we are apart, we remain deeply connected as Bruins, and I look forward to celebrating your accomplishments this spring.
“We are a brilliant class of first-gens, transfer students, future doctors, lawyers, politicians, teachers, scientists, and more,” wrote the petition’s organizer, Tara Ostad. “We did not work this hard to have an online graduation. Please sign this petition to have UCLA move to postpone it instead so that we can have our graduation, the thing we’ve been looking forward to for the last 2-4 years, on a day where we can all gather together versus an online ceremony that will not honor all our achievements. I know this sucks, but we can wait.”The petition had 4,465 signatures Wednesday evening. Its goal is 5,000.
