LOOK: Commencement 

From Wednesday, May 10, to Friday, May 12, a soaker of a storm drenched Boulder with about 2.3 inches of rain. On average, Boulder receives 3.2 inches of rain during the month of May. 

The weather didn’t stop CU Boulder’s commencement ceremony from happening the morning of Thursday, May 11. The university conferred more than 9,700 degrees in front of an estimated 22,000 supporters. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis served as commencement speaker.
