@excellent i really respect eric holder, looking forward to hearing from him
@Anonymous This is probably a silly question, but is it even possible to get in to a commencement ceremony if you’re not a family member of a graduating senior?
@Anonymous It depends.
Go to: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/ceremonies/commencement/docs/events/school/index.html
Each event tells you if you need tickets.
@Anonymous Gail Collins? Really? I want to go!
@Anonymous agreed. love her NYT columns.
@yay meryl streep barnard ftw
@yay meryl streep i mean, after bill clinton, of course
@Anonymous seas suckest
@eric holder speaking again, he must just love this place
@Anonymous Isn’t Chelsea Clinton a student at Mailman? Is she graduating this year?
@Alum She is a Mailman student, though I don’t know when she’s scheduled to graduate. Bill also had two potentially life-saving heart surgeries at CUMC, so he has other reasons to want to help out.
[My catchpa: flaked harmony. That brings someone to mind…..]
@plus meryl streep!!! obviouslyyyy!!
@Eliza Of course, but she’s not included in the CU press release. Good call, and I’ll add her to the notables list.
