I took part in three events yesterday: as a faculty member I marched in cap and gown in the graduate
UMass Amherst graduation ceremonies and celebrated with the PhD and Master's degree recipients and their family members and friends; I also enjoyed seeing the Isenberg School Senior Leaders receive their awards at a ceremony in the school's atrium and had the opportunity to meet several of the graduating seniors parents, which was very special. Finally, in the evening, I watched my daughter and her class put on the Music Man at
The Bement School. It will be hard to top a day as magnificent as this!
