Celebrating Academic Success April 22, 2008

Commencement week is the second most enjoyable week I spend on campus (the first most enjoyable week is the first week of classes in the fall when we welcome students back to campus). I enjoy commencement week because during it we celebrate the academic success of our students. Academic success comes from hard work on the part of students, faculty, and staff, and often comes from that special bond that forms between a student and his or her faculty mentor.
Tonight I gave congratulations to students in the College of Arts and Sciences at their Academic Honors Recognition. A very special part of this ceremony was when Dean DJ Trela called students to the stage by department and a faculty member from each department shared with the audience a glimpse of the success of each honoree.
Congratulations to each of the honorees. I look forward to seeing you at commencement on Sunday.
