After reading the organism chapter I have started to think more about the outside environmental influences that might have an impact on the current graduation ceremony policy. Many students at George Mason are communters so maybe the university felt as thought only offering one graduation ceremony per year would be fine considering many of the students live in the area and could return to the university in the furture to participate in the ceremony. However, the university now has a lot of international students and communter students. I don't think the status quo of only one ceremony is working for a large number of the students who attend.
I attended Radford University which only had about 10,000 students. Hardly any of which were communters. We had two graduation ceremonies per year. Mason has almost 30,000 students and only offer one ceremony. The communter student is a whole new player that I hadn't considered befor reading this chapter.

The commuter population is something I hadn't thought of. I wonder who made the decision and why to have only one ceremony. Way back when was it a money issues? Was it what other schools were doing?
