The University museum and archives have created a new post for their WordPress site with a slide show of graduates and graduation ceremonies over the years at http://wordpress.up.edu/museum/let-us-commence/, according to museum coordinator Carolyn Connolly. Commencement has long served as a capstone for the academic year, and has been held at various times in UP history in Howard Hall, Portland’s Civic Auditorium, the Chiles Center (since 1984), and, in 1976, the University’s 75th anniversary, in Memorial Coliseum.
