Graduation Practice

Over the next few days I will be posting some pictures of our PIU graduation. We took a lot of pictures and, I thought this year I would post more than just a sample, so I'll break up the pictures into several posts. Here are a few pictures of the graduation practice on Monday morning the 9th. Practice is always kind of a bittersweet time because we know most of the students will be moving on from PIU. We are happy for them but will miss them. Also, at this point, we always have logistical problems pop up, which always seem to get solved before the ceremony. It was just nice, for me, to have some time to sit and talk with students about what God is doing in their lives and hear their future plans.

Melody Plaxton gives the staff and faculty instructions about the program. While we were practicing the staff song, students were setting up the chairs that we borrowed from UOG. The rental for the canopies was donated by the Lutheran Church of Guam. Thank you to UOG and LCG!

Dr. Bill Wood demonstrates to the grads the proper way to do the "pomp and circumstance walk" 

Looks like they got it!

The grads do one last practice of the class song. The song was written by one of the graduates.
