Hi happy1, laketime, and chiablue,

I am reviving an old thread as I prepare to head out to ND for my son’s graduation this weekend! We are a party of 11 including extended family, most of whom have not been to campus before. I am excited to show them around campus and have them there to celebrate the occasion with us.

Chinablue, the weather is projected to be 82, and I expect we may feel HOT since we are in the football stadium. I planned on wearing a 3/4 sleeve wrap dress- in black. I might just slice those sleeves right off though! Was I the only one thinking the temp would hover somewhere in the 60’s? I have heels with me, but will bring a tote so that I can hide more comfortable shoes in it and swap pairs as needed.

Laketime, did you see the dining hall and box lunch options on the commencement website?

Chinablue, I’m still deciding what to wear on Saturday. During the day, I would like to be casual, but then Mass and dinner afterwards dictates different attire. I will not be going back to the hotel in between (too far!) so I’m in a bit of a quandry here. What did you decide for yourself?

I am also excited Cardinal Dolan will be the speaker. Happy1, are you in NY too? Fordham is a great school and happy you have a photo of your son with Cardinal Dolan. He is an amazing person and priest!
