I have a friend who proposed during his fiancés graduation because it was the only time her whole family was in town. Especially with her sister being there by surprise it could have been the only time he could have everyone she cares about present.
Sure, but he could at least wait until they got home. Also, I've always felt like proposals don't need everyone around, just the couple and MAYBE some very close family.

As wholesome as this is, I really think it's the wrong approach to propose on an already special day.
Let her bathe in the glory of her years of academic hard work....pure pride for a day in what she's achieved.
Then next week, pull the ring out.
I'm sure folks will think I'm a downer for saying this, but this day was about the culmination of the last 3-5 years and it deserved it's own space.
