Her first degree of glory

 Commencement was for all 5,900+ April 2012 graduates.  We watched them march across campus on the large monitor.

 The graduates sat in  the comfy seats with backs.  They worked hard, after all.

 The happy graduate with her parents

 and grandparents.

 Posing with her school's namesake.


 This is where she worked to keep herself in a little spending money.

 I never understood this iconic statue on campus.  Seems he should belong at U of U.

 We celebrated with some yummy Thai food.

 We couldn't pass up dessert after Convocation at The Chocolate.

Waiting for our kazookie.
