I volunteered at a pinning ceremony at the same college where I am currently enrolled.
It was the SADDEST ceremony I have ever seen. The graduates, showed up, in whatever scrubs that they wished to wear...wrinkled..there was zero consistency as far as who wore a cap vs who didn't.
There were no flowers, just the faculty...half of who didn't even dress up.
The refreshments were Walmart cookies and soda....THAT'S IT!
There was no budget to allow for it...and I am wondering how to approach the propect of possibly having each class start a fundraising from the first semester, for our pinning ceremony 2 years later...so it can be as simple or as elaborate as we want it to be.
What do you think?
