Drexel University--thanks for the change in the Graduation Date

Drexel University is proud of having a calendar that is years ahead---almost since he was a Freshman, the 2010 Drexel University commencement has been scheduled for Saturday, June 12, 2010, which is wonderful since my daughter is graduating from 8th Grade on Friday, June 11, 2010.


Guess what?


My son just received this in an email dated November 25th.

I feel like writing a letter, but what's the use? Is Drexel going to change the date just for me?



Now what are we going to do?



My son's graduation is 10AM, my daughter's 11AM, and they're about 15 miles apart.



There's no way we can attend both graduations.



Thanks Drexel!
