U Graduation, May 6, 2011


COMMENCEMENT, 9:00 am





 It was exciting to parade in from the tunnel and to have a sit on the floor.
This is a Where's Waldo (me)....

 The best part of the Commencement was the speaker, sports writer/author, Mitch Albom, who said: 

The most important thing about life is to invest in relationships. 
Don't be too busy for people that matter.
Live with your whole heart to touch the world. Seize life with love and faith.
                                                                                                            
Exiting Procession......



CONVOCATION, 6:45 pm, Huntsman Center
Standing in recognition of honors: Phi Kappa Phi and Golden Key.


Chase Jardine, U Student-body Pres. graduating in same college, Social & Behavioral Science, with me looking over his shoulder,











Dr. Marissa Diener taking our photo. I'm with Miriam, from my cohort group (on the left). On my right are two grad students who finished in their fourth year, Elizabeth and Yu.

 This is our department chair and my committee chair, Dr. Cheryl Wright. Trish Saccomano (Christian Frech's mom) is taking the photo. She's in charge of the student-teacher K-3 group, and I worked with her this last semester for part of my project.  To the left, is Dr. Marissa Diener, who was on my committee, and was in charge of the graduate students in the FCS department. Another of my favorites.
Finally receiving the diploma, well at least the cover for the soon-to-be-mailed diploma. Dr. Jessie Fan, my Family Economics professor presented it to me. It was nice to have so many professors that I knew from our department, there participating.

The second man in my life, at least for the moment, was Matt Asiata. 
The flowers in his wreath smelled wonderful.
 
The Convocation seemed late, but family was there to support. 
We celebrated with great food at P F Chang's afterwards. Yum! 

 Thank you Stanford and family for your patience, 
understanding and support!
