JIM: Western's commencement redux Without a doubt, as each graduate's name is called and as each red towel is handed out, Dr. Henry Hardin Cherry and Adair County's own Uncle Ed Diddle are looking down, smiling and giving hearty nods of approval. - JIM By Jim I had the pleasure of attending Western's Graduate College commencement on Friday evening, May 10th. The entire program ran about an hour and fifteen minutes and included individual recognition for each of the several hundred degree candidates; brief hooding ceremonies for the half dozen or so doctoral candidates; remarks from the President of Western, a member of the Board of Regents, and others; and the presentation of several academic awards. In short, it was an impressive ceremony organized and conducted to make it the best experience possible for the degree candidates and their family and friends. (In the interests of full disclosure: for many years, I was a part of the cadre of volunteers that assists with Western's commencement programs each year. What appears to the audience as a seamless, nearly effortless process requires untold hours of planning and preparation under the auspices of the Office of the Registrar.) Without a doubt, as each graduate's name is called and as each red towel is handed out, Dr. Henry Hardin Cherry and Adair County's own Uncle Ed Diddle are looking down, smiling and giving hearty nods of approval. - JIM Comments about: WKU Registrar sends thanks to Carol Perkins and Carol Perkins: Best graduation - WKU Spring 2013 This story was posted on 2013-05-21 07:28:09
