On Saturday Adam wrapped up four years at the University of Michigan, receiving his Bachelor of Science degree in Earth System Science and Engineering. His graduation ceremony was held in the U of M stadium among 85,000 of our closest friends and relatives. President Obama was the commencement speaker and, as a result, security was tight. Despite some extremely long lines and less-than-stellar weather, we all had a great day!
This is the security line we encountered outside the stadium gate. It took us an hour to get through it, but everyone was very friendly and cooperative during the wait.
Irma and Nancy had handicapped seats down near those port-a-johns. They were actually fairly close to the stage and were treated like royalty. Adam was able to find them in the crowd before the festivities began.
Our view of the graduates and the stage.
Here is Obama's helicopter flying off after the ceremony.
The new alumnus met up with us in parking lot.
