Vaquero Voice: What do you think about commencement being held only in Edinburg this fall?

“I do think it’s not that convenient due to some students who have more classes in Brownsville or even people who have big families. I know in Edinburg you have certain tickets that you get, so it’s not very convenient.”

“I think they shouldn’t be doing that. I believe the kids should have the choice to go where they wanna go. Brownsville is beautiful. I don’t believe they should have only one choice, since it’s two main campuses.”

“I don’t think it’s fair for the people who live in Brownsville and Matamoros to have to travel all the way over here to Edinburg. In the past, it has been held in both schools. … I believe that if it’s going to be held in Edinburg, that the university should offer the same shuttle that they do to move students … to the guests and students graduating.”

“Pienso que el commencement debe de ser en Brownsville y también en Edinburg porque las familias de Brownsville tal vez tengan problemas para llegar a la graduación”.
