I am writing this to express my frustration in the graduation process at Citrus College. I’ve read the article about this year’s graduation being virtual for the protection of student, employees and families and am in complete agreement with that.
Where I’m frustrated is the disappointment in my daughter’s eyes when she told me the college is planning on hosting several graduations for high schools. She was hoping for an in-person graduation for one last look at several classmates/friends as well as favorite teachers, etc, but was so upset to find out the college will host outsiders but not their own. Where I appreciate the safety concern for my daughter and the rest of my family, apparently the safety of their employees and the students/families of these high schools is not a concern.
I just wish they were consistent with their safety thoughts for their employees and those of the outside community.
I made several attempts to call to express my thoughts, but was unable to reach anyone and emails to administration have gone unanswered. Since I was reading the articles I figured the power of the press could help shed some light on the reasoning.
Thanks very much for your time and attention in this matter.
Sincerely,
Theresa Davenport
