I read an article that I’ll try to find again but I think there was under 300 nursing graduates.

ETA: Howard article

280 nursing graduates according to this article, which makes more sense for the size of the venue. Who knows who is correct given the state of “journalism” today.

Thanks for the more legitimate article.

280 nursing school graduates is a lot!

This is also from your article:

quote:
Howard University chief communications officer Lydia Sermons said “running out of space for graduations of individual colleges had not been an issue in past years”. She said this year’s graduating class is “the largest in Howard University history,” combined with many students not having a normal high school graduation in 2020 due to the pandemic has drawn huge crowds for graduations this year.

So, considering the venue could seat 1,500 people, that means each of the 280 graduates could average 5.3 guests. That’s a reasonable number; two parents, maybe a couple of siblings, with one or two additional guests like a significant other, or maybe grandparents.

What it doesn’t allow for is inviting all your aunts, uncles, and cousins.
