A Memory-Making Day…

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010 by Karen Gross

Figure Skater Michelle Kwan received an Honorary degree and gave the Commencement address to the graduates.

The weather may not have fully cooperated, but the sun shone on SVC’s graduation day on Saturday, May 8th.  From the music to moving student and faculty speeches to the awarding of Honorary Degrees and the warm, gracious and inspiring Commencement address of Michelle Kwan to that all-important awarding of the degrees to 93 graduates, it was a glorious day.   Family, friends, faculty, staff, coaches, alumni and graduates had a chance to share special moments with each other  — remembering collegiate bonds and accomplishments and reflecting on the bright future ahead for Class of 2010. 

Join me in sharing this event through photographs, watch it on YouTube or read about it in the media.  These are all ways to remember SVC’s wonderful 83rd Commencement Day.
