Commencement ceremonies in Delaware Stadium on Saturday

     The University of Delaware will hold Commencement exercises at 9
a.m., Saturday, May 30, in Delaware Stadium on the Newark campus.
     Edwin Newman, longtime television news correspondent, journalist
and commentator, will deliver the Commencement address.
     The ceremony, which is open to the public, will be held rain or
shine. Those planning to attend are advised to arrive early because of
expected traffic congestion.
     After Commencement exercises, each of the University's 10
colleges will hold convocation ceremonies to recognize their
graduates. Convocations are scheduled after the Commencement ceremony.
Admission tickets are required for some convocation ceremonies.
