Graduation has been canceled for the Class of 2020, but some students aren't letting the pandemic ruin their celebratory fun.
Some seniors at the University of Colorado Boulder threw packed graduation parties on Thursday, The Denver Post's Katie Langford reported. It was the day they were supposed to walk the stage. In March, CU Boulder canceled its May 7 in-person commencement and instead scheduled a virtual commencement for May 16.
It also happened to be the day before Boulder County's stay-at-home order was lifted on Friday. Colorado ended its statewide stay-at-home order on April 26, leaving pandemic-handling decisions in the hands of local governments.
This isn't the first time college students have ignored social distancing guidelines. In March, spring breakers were called out for crowding beaches in Florida and Texas, taking chartered trips to Cabo, and partying on booze cruises in The Bahamas.
