SUU Graduation 2011

This blog post is brought to you by insomnia. Special thanks to Grandma Hislop, Grandpa Hislop, Grandma Cannon, Rachel, Jeff, and TJ. They made the long trek south to be with us and took several of these photos. We forgot to take one big group photo with everyone.

As 3-year-old TJ's parents told him they're going to Cedar City for Sammy's Graduation, his interpretation was, "We're going to Sammy's City for Gradulations!"

Thursday - Awards Night
Lucy's not so sure about this "light buffet dinner"

Sammy receiving the Masters of Professional Communication Student of the Year award.

A lovely view of the gorgeous room our college banquet was in.

Friday - Swimming and Commencement
Lucy loving the cold swimming pool!





Commencement. Sammy is on the fourth row. Harvard's Clayton Christensen (far right on the dais) gave an excellent keynote.

Saturday - College Convocation
Sammy is on the first row, fourth from the left. As Hugh Nibley once said, "We have met here today clothed in the black robes of a false priesthood" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSjE2Ks38uE&feature=related
