Organizers planned a shorter ceremony to account for the rain, which started falling about halfway through the ceremony during the presentation of honorary degrees to former University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg and former Board of Trustees Chairman Charles Manatt. “We’ve been soaking you for 20 years, so what’s a little drizzle now?” said Trachtenberg, as the Mall quickly be- came a sea of multi-colored umbrellas and ponchos. “I’ve been saving that line for a long time,” he added. University spokesperson Tracy Schario said the short speeches from Manatt and Trachtenberg, as well as the brisk pace throughout the program, cut about 20 minutes from the ceremony. Commencement ended at 11:30 a.m., while in previous years it concluded closer to noon. The ceremony began at 9:30 a.m. with the procession of graduates, faculty and administrators, led by a team of bag- pipers and drummers. The GW Symphonic Band also per- formed, at one point playing the theme from “Star Wars.” At the outset of the ceremony, University Marshal Jill Kasle announced that many of the empty seats reserved for graduates were available to the general audience, initiating a rush of parents and family members looking for a better view.

Trump of an Executive Order barring U.S. access to people from certain countries, colleges and universities around the country responded swiftly. Below are stories about some Consortium members and their responses: Within three days of the February 4th issuance of the Order, Georgetown University, in adherence to its Jesuit traditions, announced it was providing resources to students and scholars affected by the Order. Upon the issuance of the first Order, Georgetown University President John DeGioia said “We are an institution that values the contributions of our international students, staff and faculty, and we are deeply committed to interreligious dialogue and providing a context in which members of all faith backgrounds are welcomed and encouraged to practice their faith;” In a story on this topic also related to Georgetown, Judge James Robart, who issued the court ruling suspending the February 4th Executive Order, is a graduate of Georgetown University Law Center (Law ’73). Judge Robart’s ruling blocking the implementation of the Order nationwide was upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals which resulted in the Robart ruling continuing to block the president’s Executive Order from going into effect.
