On Sat. our department held its first graduation ceremony. We're not a big department and it was not a large event, but it was wonderful. Loved hearing students' tributes to their professors, loved getting to meet family members and friends of our grads. Congrats, Class of 2022!

Our own doctoral candidate, Brigid Enchill, recently presented her work at the Center for Teaching Excellence. Her work was good enough to attract the attention of our Provost and Chancellor!
