SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The University of California, Davis graduation ceremony was abruptly cut short Friday morning after extreme heat left six people hospitalized.
At 10:56 a.m. Pacific time, UC Davis posted a message on Twitter that those who had already crossed the stage were encouraged to leave with their families due to “extremely hot” temperatures.
Shortly thereafter, an announcement was made in the stadium telling all graduates to clear the field, and announcing that the ceremony would be halting.
