Graduation!
Graduation is a big deal over here! We went to Johan's graduation Friday and yesterday. There were two ceremonies, the first on Friday, called Hooding. This ceremony was by schools, so the School of Theology and Missions were in Christ's Chapel. The ceremony included a procession of the teachers and graduates. It also included speaches and songs. At the end there was the Hooding ceremony which meant that the graduate was called to stage where the dean and the graduate's advisor awaited him or her. If the graduate has a GPA over 3.8 he/she is considered honors, and if the graduate has a 4.0 he/she has high honors. This is then indicated by a colored ribbon or something like that. Purple for honors and gold for high honors. This he/she receives before entering the stage. On the stage the people mentioned above then took the hood that the graduate had on his arm and placed it as a hood on his back. Then the photo and the graduate can leave the stage and the next graduate comes up.
Here is Johan after his Hooding:
With Dean Mathew and Dr. Hart
Notice his gold around the neck, High honors!!
The big graduation ceremony is the commencement and that took place in the Maybee Center on Saturday! All graduates were present from all schools, both graduate and undergraduate departments. The ceremony was close to the hooding cermony in what it contained, but instead of the hooding the graduates received their diplomas. The speaker was Bill Hybels from Chicago. He held the commencement address to the graduates before the graduates were presented on stage. This ceremony took about three hours, we however, left after Johan had been called up. Aron did really well, but after Johan he started to be a little restless. And since pictures say more than words here are some:
This is going to be us next year....if all works out as it should!
Then there was party time in the evening celebrating with Johan!
Congratulations Johan! You made it!! =)
