Commencement Brochure

Tammie Katin

“Commencement ties up a lot of loose ends for me. I missed out on the opportunity to attend classes and to be with other students. Attending Commencement and finally meeting my professors and thanking them for their support was important to me. I value my education now. I knew this degree would give me more credibility at my job. I wanted to celebrate this achievement in person.”
