Back in the day, graduation ceremonies were exactly what we expected them to be. Students slipped on their caps and gowns, walked across the stage, shook a few hands collected their diplomas and returned to their seats. While it was boring as all get-out, boring is exactly what we once expected from commencement. They were formal, quiet (shhh), predictable, and rooted in tradition. These days, graduates have other plans in mind, and folks can’t look away.
