With weather forecasters calling for sun, sun and more sun, visitors to Stanford's 121st Commencement should plan to pack sunscreen and hats for the Sunday morning celebration in Stanford Stadium.
Commencement will begin at 9:30 a.m. with the traditional Wacky Walk, in which graduates take to the field for one last campus frolic ? holding signs, carrying props, wearing costumes ? before taking their seats.
Cory Booker, mayor of Newark, N.J., since 2006 and a Stanford graduate, is this year's Commencement speaker.
Live webcast
Recognizing that many family members and friends of graduates cannot make it to the Commencement ceremony, Stanford will offer a live video webcast of the event, beginning at 9:30 a.m. PDT on Sunday.
