Barnard has moved off campus for its 2013 Commencement.
Dean Avis Hinkson announced in an email this afternoon that Radio City Music Hall will be the graduation site for this year's ceremony.
Graduates will be allowed to bring six family members and guests, and students and faculty will be bused to the New York City landmark. (No word on how families will find their way there.) The full email:
Dear Barnard Students,
We are delighted to announce that Barnard's 2013 Commencement will be held on Sunday, May 19th at 4pm at Radio City Music Hall. Since its opening in 1932, Radio City has been both a national landmark and a New York City treasure and, after a comprehensive search, proved to be the optimal venue for this milestone celebration. It will comfortably accommodate our seniors, six guests per graduate, faculty, staff, and distinguished guests.
