Celebrating college grad without the ceremony-what has been meaningful?

Post date: 2023-05-09 23:55:51

We're celebrating GCofTethys who is now finishing a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering in CO. He doesn't want to attend the ceremony, so we're soliciting the hive mind for experiences that feel more like a graduation celebration than a regular family visit. Hope me!

I work in higher ed so I have a lot of commencement experiences under my belt. I will have two teenage siblings in tow who are already clamoring for many typical activities (penny arcade and whirlyball) We had dinner the day-of squared away, but that got shift for a wildlife conservation trivia night fundraiser at a brewpub-which will be a ton of fun! Just not grad-centric. We've sorted through the campus bookstore website and have a gift card for a framing place.

The grad shifts into full time work without student status on Monday, and has a lot of essentials as a decently well established young professional.

For any of you who have skipped the commencement ceremony-what has been been meaningful to mark college graduation? Fun also works, I gave him a Nikolai Tesla secular saint candle over the holidays.
