Previous government shutdowns have affected National Parks like the National Mall, with little to no visitor services or parks staff available. Jenny Anzelmo-Sarles, Chief of Public Affairs and Chief Spokesperson for the National Park Service, said NPS officials are reviewing their contingency plan for the national parks with guidance from the Office of Management and Budget.
“Determinations about specific operations and programs have not been made,” Anzelmo-Sarles said.
University officials said there are currently “no changes” to the commencement ceremony in light of the potential shut down.
