On Sunday, tens of thousands of people gathered on the National Mall for a Commencement ceremony in the shadows of the Washington Monument and Capitol of the United States. Yet for this special ceremony acknowledging the hard work of thousands of students, there was no keynote speaker.
Amid the celebrations surrounding Commencement weekend, the Board of Trustees announced that it would be commemorating and acknowledging the work of outgoing University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg by naming the School of Public Policy and Public Administration in his honor.
Woo-ee! The past four years flew by quickly, didn't they Class of 2007? It feels like only last year we were drinking Bacardi 151 and cheating on our high school sweethearts in Thurston Hall. We were so naive then. So innocent. Who could have guessed that we would be where we are right now in our lives? Maybe God could have.
Given the controversy initially surrounding Stephen Joel Trachtenberg's intention to deliver the keynote address, what did you think of his speech during Sunday's ceremonies?
