Saturday's Commencement

Commencement

This was truly a do-not-miss event.

On Saturday morning, May 12, the Class of 1962 was celebrated by the entire University community in the 97th annual Commencement taking place during SMU’s centennial celebration. Regalia and commemorative medallions were provided for this 90-minute event in Moody Coliseum. Some of us even wore our own special regalia. A shuttle transported us and our guests from our dressing area to Moody.  Guests were seated on the floor of the Coliseum and watched us as we processed in.  Our own Bob Cecil addressed the class of 2012, and Dr. Condoleezza Rice gave a very moving address.

This was an event we'll remember for a long time.
