We finally get to meet a few of our students in person as well as their families...many of whom seemed to be celebrating the first college graduate in their family! My first AMU graduation ceremony was in 2002 in downtown DC at the Army Navy Club. There were 28 graduates present. Any who wished to talk could do so and 19 chose to speak. Their statements about the trials and tribulations of getting an education reinforced the contribution we make as staff and faculty. The same validation happens every year at graduation.
