<p>I am a parent of my Second Son who will be graduating this May from Marshall Along with a Pre Med Focus. I made hotel reservations a month ago and just ordered his Lei from the University flower shop. Any others parents out their with own upcoming graduates or even student looking forward to the experience? USC does a fabulous job!</p>
<p>So looking forward to USC Commencement! Any one on the forum graduating? Parents with graduates in May! Good luck with finals everyone! And of course Job searches and interviews.</p>
<p>Congratulations bbgg. What a great milestone. Not joining you at commencement this year, but our second Trojan is finishing his soph year and loving it. What are your son’s plans after graduation?</p>
<p>Congratulations!!! It is a wonderful event :)</p>
<p>Thanks mad bean and alamemom, my youngest son is graduating with his business degree but there is still a year ahead of him at USC. He decided last summer to try a shot a med school. So he’s playing catch up with all the premed requirements. He’s hoping for a shot at at an MD/MBA program a year from now. Not too bad for a Spring Admit! He got the fire under him after he was denied admission , appealed his admission and was successful . He received a Spring Admitttance at USC. He decided to show USC how smart they were to offer him a chance. He has been awarded several departmental scholarships and is graduating With honors.</p>
<p>What a great story!!! Congratulations again.</p>
<p>Anxiously awaiting the graduates to walk in! Pre graduation photos done! So happy for my youngest son. All the best to all the graduates and patents out there. Enjoy!</p>
<p>Woohoo! Just graduated!</p>
<p>What a long and tiring day. Totally worth it, but I’m still feeling exhausted from it all.</p>
<p>Congratulations to all the graduates.</p>
<p>You should soon be receiving the first of endless solicitations for alumni donations to the university. LOL</p>
<p>Oh I’ve already gotten those…</p>
<p>Congrats Hawkwings! What are you going to be doing following graduation!?</p>
