Graduation

Another school year is over! Graduation was celebrated June 18 with all the usual fanfare. Buzz Aldrin was the speaker and I even got to talk to him!

Gerald is in charge of the graduate program so he got to be on stage shaking hands of his students which was a special thing for him since he gets to know them so well. Gerald is still teaching in the summer session until mid-July.

The quality of the students this spring and summer has dramatically gone down. We are not sure why exactly - but our guess is the standards for admitting new students have gone way down. It's been more frustrating to teach the lower-level classes because of this.

Some of Gerald's Graduate students. By the time they graduate some of them will have had Gerald for 3 classes so he gets to know them well.

Brahim, a very energetic, brilliant and opinionated guy!
