ficult this year. Check with your advisor.

CFS/D faculty and students organized a wonderful ceremony and celebration for our 2012-2013 graduates. The celebra-

tion took place in the gym where our College Dean, Don Taylor, and Department Chair, Nancy Rabolt, talked to stu-

dents, families, and friends. Christine Batten, CFS/D distinguished undergraduate student, and Elena Zidaru, CFS/D

distinguished graduate student, spoke to the graduating class. Also student representatives from each degree program

spoke about their programs. Congratulations to all! Refreshments were provided by the Vista Room staff.

Thanks to many of our FCS graduate students and Dr. Vouchilas’ team for making this such a great day. We need

student organizations to work on next year’s celebration. Also we’re hoping juniors will volunteer in May for the next

graduating class (when you graduate, the juniors will do it for you!). See Dr. Rabolt or Dr. Gus Vouchilas with your

ideas.
