Commencement Week Round-Up
Posted by jeffz under Campus News, Events, The Graduate at 11:00 am
In honor of commencement, several stories of note from recent weeks related to this week’s ceremonies and/or the graduating seniors:
- Be sure to read this Williams feature highlighting some of the future plans for this year’s graduating class. Great to see so many seniors interested in serving their country and/or the world.
- Another must read: this interview with senior Mopati Morake’11, who has clearly thought deeply about higher education.
- Talented writer Andrew Triska ’11 will be finishing his novel after graduation.
- Of course, for baby boomers, the most famous “graduate” of Williams is Benjamin Braddock (the novel was written by Eph Charles Webb shortly after his own graduation, and although Williams is not mentioned in the movie, he does wear a purple-and-gold tie). Apparently a new adaptation hones closer to the novel.
- One of my favorite Williams traditions is the Olmstead Award for Secondary School Teachers. Read about this year’s recipients here.
- Congratulations seniors, and enjoy what should be a wonderful weekend highlighted by tremendous Commencement speaker Cory Booker.
