Amber's Graduation Photos

Amber's graduation was two days of celebration. The first day's ceremony was for the Business School alone and the second day was the full commencement. Most people went to both though, perhaps mainly because Oprah was the commencement speaker at the main ceremony. Anyway, more on the weekend later, but I wanted to post some of the photos from the main events.

It is obvious which of us is actually photogenic.

Oprah was so popular they ran out of seats for the graduates on the field.
