The Spartan Graduates
Posted: 2005-08-17 10:42am
As promised in my good vent my pictures from graduation. I don't have any upclose pictures of myself yet, but I'll post one of those when someone emails them to me.
It was actually a lot of fun this time around. All the BSME grads knew each other and had quite a few classes together. So we were laughing and joking during the procession, breaking away from it so that we could keep together, as one of the grads is in a wheelchair. We were high-fiving each other as we walked up the stairs to the stage. We teased the guy who showed up with no less than 3 Honors Shawls, 2 Medals and 6 cords, "You trying to make us look bad?"
First picture is us filing in, I'm the second from the right. With the goatee.
This shot is me walking the "Last Fifty Feet" and shaking the Dean's hand while he hands me my graduation momento.
What's a graduation momento? Here it is
And the inside top: the lower right is a sketch of Woolf Hall, where the ME department is along with MSE, AE and IE. The upper left is Nederman Hall where most of the rest of the Engineering Department is located. And who I actually had a class with. And who also has a street named after him. And who was also the first Dean of Engineering. And President of the University for about 20 years. And when my Dad heard his name he responded by saying, "Oh. That guy." (He went to UTA too, though never graduated) Sorry, I just like that story.
Inside Bottom. It's a letter from the Dean. Everyone got the same thing but it's nice to actually get something at the graduation. At Tarleton they handed us a white cardboard tube. And we had to give that back. BTW, I'll post the text of the letter if anyone's interested. As it is I think I've rambled on to much.
