CONGRATS, MICHIGAN GRADS!!
Surprised no one has posted anything yet. Even though the Big House event is not until Saturday, individual schools have been having their own events all week.
Let's take a moment to congratulate all the new Michigan grads, undergrad or graduate. If you are one: Lots of WOOOO!!!!! to you. Best wishes as you embark on the next chapter of your life. You will look back on your time at Michigan again and again.
My kid is among the undergrads, so I've had a tendency to get weepy at odd times for no reason this week. How about you, the MGoCommunity? Graduating? Hopeful future Wolverine? Family member of? Or looking back to the same events in your life?
Thank you. Still have 2 exams left so I'm not feeling particularly festive right now, but I appreciate the good wishes.
Hope you are feeling more festive this time tomorrow JackBNimble, be proud of what you have accomplished!
My daughter is a HS senior and will be attending Michigan in the fall. Super excited for her and as the OP says... CONGRATULATIONS Michigan Grads!
Very exciting, congrats to your daughter! and you!
i work in downtown aa, and it’s been really cool seeing all the graduates walking around with their families. also makes me think back to my graduation in 2002, which was totally bittersweet. i remember looking forward to something new, but was pretty bummed that most of my friends were moving away.
go blue, and congrats grads!
I might be having another moment... will check back here in the morning when I have better emotional composure.
Congratulations to all!
With any luck, you'll be debt free someday too!
CONGRATULATIONS DUNCAN TAYLORDEAN AND M AMBASSADORS EVERYWHERE!!!
Daughter just graduated from Kinesiology. Athletic training. Amazing experience. And I think I enjoyed it just as much!!
No one really understands the work load those trainers carry. Full class load and they work 30-50 hours a week if a team is in season ( also a lot of travel). Go Blue to the best ATCs in the country!
That is great Fortran! She must have some superb time management skills!
God I'm a wreck
The Greatest University in the World
I totally believe this!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
GO BLUE!!
Represent us well new grads!!!
congrats to the 'kids' who are having their day today.
as for being the greatest university in the world, i'll leave james earl jones and one of the all-time great hype videos in the world right....here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqoJmSF235E
if you can't get up for 'this is michigan!', well, you might be as dead as the night king.
Thank you! Side note, if anyone here knows of a human resources-related position in the GR area, I wouldn't be opposed to hearing more about it...
Ah yes. Gets me excited thinking about my little 9 year old, 4th grade grandson...thinking about whether to do his undergrad at my alma mater, Goshen College, or go straight to Michigan. He says it will be Michigan for his Masters and PhD...wants to be an engineer. He's a bright little whipper-snapper. It's a win-win thing for him.
Michigan is the school so nice that I graduated twice.
No, I don't use that line at parties.
In all seriousness, congratulations to the newest batch of Wolverines.
For today goodbye, for tomorrow good luck, and forever Go Blue! Congrats Class of '19
Graduated two years ago this week. Can't believe it's already been two years... miss it like crazy already
Blink again and those 2 years will turn into 20.. or 30!
...which I imagine isn't so bad if you get to live twice consecutively rather than concurrently
Graduation was one of the happiest days of my life. When MSC said (something like) - "College of Engineering, stand up and be recognized" it was an enormous moment of relief and satisfaction for 4 hard years. Congrats to all of you about to cross the same finish line. It's no small accomplishment
Did she sound drunk or was it just the echo again?
No doubt that going to Michigan changed my life. An important concept here is "commencement." College is fun but preliminary. The real shit starts now. (Realizing that, perhaps, I immediately signed up for more school.)
My oldest son is a Michigan grad, next kid in line is a HS senior who . . . chose Oberlin over Michigan. Oh well! Much as I would have liked to continue the Michigan pipeline, I have to admit Oberlin is a better fit for him -- despite requiring us to travel to the Worst State Ever to visit him.
Heading to the Big House for my LS&A grad. Hope it is warmer than last year's for my Ross grad.
Btw Woodson was a fantastic speaker last year.
A very proud parent!
Congratulations to all the graduates!!!
Congratulations to all the new graduates! My son just got home from a two-day trek Wednesday after finishing his freshman year. I’m looking forward to having him around for a little while.
