A different graduation

On Sunday, during the few hours over the past few weeks when it wasn’t raining or threatening to shower, we were up in rural Massachusetts for the commencement ceremony at Williams College. Our niece Emma graduated. It was a bit unusual being at another college’s graduation, after having been to so many of them at Marist (except this year’s … oddly?). The Williams graduation was smaller – graduating class of a little more than 500 students – but equally pretty and powerful. College graduations are memorable and emotional days for students and their families. Glad we were able to get up there.
