(Cap and Gown last September, remember that lovely day?)<\/p>\n

I posted the blog below earlier today, and now Commencement is already a memory!\u00a0 Congratulations to the Class of 2013!\u00a0 THANK YOU to all of our hard-working Trinity staff and faculty — more on that tomorrow!<\/p>\n

We are so grateful to our speaker Maria Gomez, and we’ll be posting her remarks next week.<\/p>\n

My remarks, which I decided not to give due to the weather, are posted here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More to come, but for now, it was a wonderful commencement despite the gray weather, and thanks to everyone for making it so memorable for our graduates!<\/p>\n

Here’s the blog from earlier today:<\/em><\/p>\n

From my office window, I can see our amazing Facilities crew hard at work setting up 3500 chairs on the front lawn — it must be Commencement Day!\u00a0 Despite some clouds and forecasts of some moisture (well, ok, showers, but right this minute www.weather.com says only 20% chance of precip at 4 pm in this zip code!), we have every intention of having a beautiful, bright and joyful commencement…. outside!\u00a0 Only lightening and thunder can change that, but I don’t see that on the weather service forecast for 4 pm….<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s events were just delightful — a truly uplifting Baccalaureate Mass in our newly-reopened Notre Dame Chapel, such a beautiful sacred space.\u00a0 Then on to a fun and festive senior luncheon in Alumnae Hall, with so many memories, a wonderful tribute by Senior Class Advisor Dr. Mary Lynn Rampolla, and other remembrances.<\/p>\n

My remarks to the class during senior luncheon are posted here<\/a>, and I’ll be posting more remarks and photos on this blog later this weekend after commencement.<\/p>\n

For now, CONGRATULATIONS, BLUE CLASS OF 2013!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
