Earlier in the week I posted a few photos I took of the SIPA graduation ceremony with my phone. This is the follow up post I promised now that our media team has had some time to publish information for distribution. The entire ceremony was captured and can be viewed by clicking here.
Kofi Anna was the graduation speaker and here is his address to the SIPA Class of 2011.
Here are a few more pictures to enjoy as well. The President of the University, Lee Bollinger, and his wife shared a special moment with their daughter who graduated from the MIA program.
What kinds of friendships can you expect to develop as a SIPA student? The kind where someone helps you to graduate, even when you cannot make it to the ceremony. This graduate is holding a gown draped on a hanger with a photo of the missing graduate.
Mr. Annan likely had a sore hand and tired feet at the end of the day – he shook the hand of every graduate and hung out at the reception (with his lovely wife).
A SIPA graduate . . . with a possible future SIPA student.
