<p>It was a beautiful graduation made even more beautiful by the stunningly perfect weather – cool, sunny and low humidity. The fireworks, the receptions, the bunny rabbit that couldn’t figure out how to get out of the way of the procession of PhD students. It was all great fun!</p>
<p>Thank you! I was hoping for an eyewitness account - and yours was just wonderful, blackeyedsusan! Congrats and may your memory stay bright for years to come!</p>
<p>About the bunny – was it late for Phi Beta Hoppa?</p>
<p>It was gorgeous weather! We enjoyed our whole visit, including lunch reception at the res colleges, meeting son’s mentor/prof, dinner out in Rice Village at a great Thai place, breakfast at Baby Barnaby’s… and so thrilled that DS has a great job and a great set of friends and community at Rice. :)</p>
<p>It was a wonderful weekend. We of course loved the concert. Add to that the champagne and fireworks afterwards, the beautiful weather, a humorous speaker, joyous grads and the receptions. It was a memorable event.</p>
<p>Stupid class of 2011 and their good weather.</p>
<p>^Agreed. Haha, everytime I saw a '10 alum we hugged, said hi, and said how much we hated the perfect weather Saturday morning. It was a great commencement. Also made me realize how fast a year goes by. Proud of all the graduates!</p>
<p>This was a great ceremony. Congratulation to the class of 2011</p>
