My commencement was in 2010; so I'm officially done with my college career (until January when I return to pursuit my Masters, then later my Doctorate) But until then, this is a HUGE accomplishment and I wanted to create something to sort of capture it. The background is indeed an interpretation of my campus; but its a beautiful 1600 acre property focused on the environment and its sustainability- one thing I particularly loved about this institution.

This is also a congratulations to all of those who have also graduated this season; this is a ridiculously huge milestone for us all!

“To laugh often and much;

To win the respect

of intelligent people

and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of

honest critics and endure

the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty,

to find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better;

whether by a healthy child,

a garden patch or a

redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed

easier because you have lived.

This is the meaning of success.” -Emerson
