Brian's Graduation

Brian graduated from Colby College on Sunday, May 25, 2008. It was a beautiful day, the best day of the Memorial Day Weekend, not a cloud in the sky. The ceremony was on the lawn in front of Miller Library. The photo below was taken at the end of the graduation ceremony. If you look closely there are a lot of hats in the air, including one smack in front of the leftmost column of the entrance to Miller Library. (Click on any picture to enlarge.) It was Colby's 187th Commencement, and there were 521 graduates.

The photo below was taken after the graduation ceremony on steps behind Miller Library. This is Brian's group of friends. Brian is on the left in the back row, with the beard. Brian, if you wish, please feel free to post a comment identifying your friends.

I know a few of Brian's friends. Below are Jennifer Bushee, Lucas (Luke) LaViolet, Brian, and Brian Lam. Brian, Brian and Luke were roommates sophomore year. Brian, the tie looks great!

The day before graduation, Brian's group of friends organized a picnic for their families. The picnic was supposed to be outside next to Johnson Pond, but it rained intermittently that day and the picnic was moved inside. Here are some of the students:

Brian graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in computer science, and minors in mathematics and physics. He earned Distinction in Major. He graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa, the only computer science major to earn either distinction. Well done, Brian!
