Fall commencement ceremony

Reinstate a fall commencement ceremony for students who finish their degree after spring.

Why is this important?

You never know what tomorrow might hold, you don't even know if you will see tomorrow. This is major for me, because I might be deploying in 2015 and I will be done with school this fall. My deployment would be before spring commencement, I will lose my opportunity to walk and I have given six years of my life for that one special day. Also others who don't see that date because they where taken from this world.
