Adam graduated from NCSU School of Design on Saturday. Wayne and I, Tiffany and Tiffany's parents got to attend the ceremony.
It was the School of Design (the artsy people) so we were not surprised to find out that they were not required to wear caps and gowns. About a third to a half of the people had gowns on. The rest wore all sorts of things. Adam chose to buy a red shirt for the occasion, so he blended in really well with the red gowns.
Two of the young women wearing caps and gowns decorated the tops of their caps with sequiny glittery pictures. One was a picture of a Wolf, and the other said "Hi Guys!" Those two caps gave some nice variety to the sea of plain caps we saw, looking down from above.
Before the ceremony, someone started throwing around a blowup flamingo, and it was thrown from person to person for quite a while.
As the graduates walked past to get their empty diploma cover (note inside:" You will get your real diploma in the mail after you pay all fines, overdue charges, and pass your final grades") they showed an image on a big screen. Most of the people had closeups of themselves, or themself and their spouse, but some got pretty inventive. There were several really memorable photos: jumping off cliffs into the ocean, or standing behind a pile of 1000 textbooks, or stuffing a whole piece of pie in their mouth.
