Graduation from GWU

On May 17th and 18th I had my graduation ceremonies from GWU. I finally completed my Masters Degree in Human Resources Development.



Here's me almost smiling for the camera as we wait to line up. I was much happier on the inside, but the outside wasn't quite awake yet.


Here we all are marching in. Hard to spot your loved ones in that crowd.



Wait, there I am!


Now I'm scanning the crowd looking for my family. I don't think a single graduate was actually looking where they were walking.


Found my family. You should've seen them waving, I thought they might take flight.


I love that this graduate dressed his seeing eye dog.


An official print of the crowd. Good luck finding me, even I couldn't do it.

Chatting with friends as we wait to go onstage.



Yay!!


And there I go!


The dean and I. You can buy this photograph if you'd like from Panoramic Visions for like $60.


My official graduation portrait, also purchasable.


Here we are on the Mall for the big ceremony.

Julian Bond was the guest speaker.



And me after the ceremony, complete with rain gear, and officially graduated!
