Memorandum
The graduation ceremonies were held on this day. As a countermeasure for the infection of COVID-19, the ceremonies were held twice: the first ceremony was for the students of two faculties and the other was for those of the other three faculties, similar to last year. The difference from last year was that parents of graduates could attend the ceremony.
This soundscape was recorded when the first ceremony finished and the attendance left the gymnasium.
Before COVID-19 issues began, current students with noisemakers (drums, guitars, ... etc.) came to celebrate graduates. But this year, the university authorities required current students not to go as another countermeasure for the infection. Therefore, the square was not as lively (or noisy) as usual years.
Happy graduation!!
