When I graduated from N.Y.U., it was a huge ceremony held in Washington Square Park. I forgot who the key note speaker was, I'm sure that it was someone important. Afterwards , my mother, sister and I went to an Italian restaurant called Mesa Luna in Soho. We had wonderful food. All the awards and diplomas wer awarded separately because with the size of my graduating class, we would have been there for quite some time.
