Graduation Post #1 – Getting Ready

We took a lot of pictures of graduation so I will break them up into a few posts. Here are a few pictures of us getting  the stage and ourselves ready. This year graduation was held at Agana Heights Baptist Church and it turned out to be a very good venue. This year’s graduation was much smaller than 2012 and it had a very personal feel to it. Joyce was surprised to find that, since she taught a remedial English class this year she had to don her regalia and sit with the faculty. So, we got another nice academic picture together. More to come!

Nino and Celia did a great job decorating the stage. Samantha, left, was our MC.

I had to try out the new flag and make sure the podium was ok for the ceremony. Thanks to Nino and Glenda for making the new PIU flag. By the way the flags behind the stage represent the many countries that PIU students and graduates come from.

The graduates marched and wheeled in

With the graduates settled into their places we were ready to start…
