770 hands shook, and 770 plus smiles

Commencement this past Saturday was such a gratifying event for me, as I am sure it was for all of those involved. I shook 770 hands at our commencement ceremony. And I know I had more smiles than that. What a wonderful feeling that day brought and I know the memories will be with our students and their families forever. I wish our graduates great success and as I always say, “Aim high”!

Pomp and Circumstance

Commencement is tomorrow – my favorite day of the year. Congratulations and best wishes to all UIS graduates! I'm looking forward to shaking 770 hands!
