Vassar Graduation

I became a Vassar College graduate exactly one week ago...and it's still sinking in! Here are some highlights from graduation. It was a beautiful day; rain was predicted but never came. It was warm but there was cloud cover, which was nice for us in our big black robes, and the sun broke through the clouds a few times during the ceremony. It was held on a hill on campus that overlooks a lake, so it was a really beautiful setting.

Lisa Kudrow, Vassar Class of '85, was our commencement speaker. Her speech was really interesting - if you feel like watching it, go here and fast forward to around 78 minutes in.

Meryl Streep (class of '74) is on the Board of Trustees, so she was also in attendance. She's sitting on the far right in this photo, with the blue drape over her shoulders. Click on the photo to make it bigger and check out her awesome heels!

Ty's picture even made it onto the Vassar website, since he looked so dashing in his Vassar t-shirt - go to http://commencement.vassar.edu/ and click on picture #27!
