One of the big advantages of going to a big-name school is having big-name speakers at Commencement. This year, our Class Day speaker was Bill Clinton and Commencement speaker was Bill Gates! It didn’t matter much for me though since the first speech was mainly for undergrads and the latter for alumni. We ultimately attended only the diploma awarding ceremony in the morning, and the PhD hooding ceremony in the afternoon. In retrospect, it was all kind of anti-climactic as I had already gotten my actual diploma in the mail back in November when I got my degree. Nevertheless, the Commencement exercises gave me a day off from work, and a chance to don my crimson gown and stylish black tam (poofy hat). After 4-years of blood, sweat, and tears, I guess we could at least have the satisfaction of standing out among all the other graduates with their dreary black gowns. Anyway, pics from our wedding are finally here! Go to our wedding site for links and a slideshow!
