Tips for a Comfortable Commencement
Weather in Central Oregon can be unpredictable. To ensure a comfortable commencement, consider dressing in layers. Bring sunscreen, hats, and other items to shade from direct sunlight. Due to the unique climate of Bend, it can be windy, and may be a little dusty at the Oval Green.
