Graduation plans crumble for Free State seniors
Pryor and Pat Fay, seniors at Free State, face a shortened post class break with graduation delayed by a week. They planned a May 23 road trip to northern California but will now have nine days before the ceremony, squeezing travel and summer work into a tight window. The delay stems from the calendar and KU commencement, as officials note this pattern when rain backups occur. Pryor still aims to return in time to start as Sporting Kansas City’s commissary manager, calling the situation “the real world.”
