It was an ideal day for a Commencement—neither too hot nor too cold, mostly sunny skies, and low humidity. A crowd of about 20,000 family, friends, and dignitaries gathered on Nickerson Field for Boston University’s 144th Commencement to listen to Bonnie Hammer (CGS’69, COM’71, SED’75, Hon.’17), chair of NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment Group, deliver the main address and to watch as the University conferred 5 honorary degrees and awarded diplomas to an estimated 6,530 seniors and graduate students.
