To close out the week

by Betsy Chapman, Ph.D. ('92, MA '94)

As we close out this week and head into the long Memorial Day weekend, I thought it would be fun to share some pictures from Commencement. And because Memorial Day is to honor those who have fought and died for our country, I wanted to be certain to honor our newest graduates as they leave our ROTC program and take their place in the Army. The moment they are recognized at Commencement is always one of the most moving and beautiful moments of the ceremony.

Enjoy the long weekend, Deac families – we’ll see you back next Tuesday!
