Hooding Ceremony

Today the School of Biological Sciences held their first hooding ceremony for graduating graduate students.  It was a great way to recognize the contributions and success of our graduating students with their friends and family.  I am so proud of Erik, Ngozi, and Nehal, but also sad to see them go.  Tomorrow is graduation and and then they will pack up their apartments to enjoy a summer break before beginning their PhDs.  So proud of everyone graduating from Biological Sciences!

Lab Party

To celebrate the end of the year we like to host the lab and my husband's softball team at our place for an afternoon of outdoor games and dinner.  It was nice to be able to spend sometime with everyone off campus and be able to relax and laugh.  There was volleyball, frisbee, and cornhall (which sounded like it got pretty competitive!).
