2011 A&D Commencement
On Saturday, April 30, 101 A&D undergraduates and 8 MFA candidates took the stage to accept their certificates of graduation and give thanks to family, friends, faculty and staff.
Commencement speaker and A&D Dean’s Advisory Council member Roe Stamps gave a speech that he promised would be “both short and funny,” including urging the new graduates to invest in their futures but not to max out their credit cards. The Russell family Steel Band, now an A&D commencement tradition, filled the courtyard with music. After the ceremony, family and friends enjoyed food and drinks and browsed the IP exhibitions.
