So the big end of the year event for all seniors is graduation! Northwood's graduation was held Thursday, May 5 at Jessie Owens Memorial Complex. A tradition for Northwood is to have each flag from every country of our graduates present. We definitely have a strong international influence on our campus as you can see by all the flags.

Graduation has a series of events leading up to the ceremony. This year a day before graduation students were invited to Honors Convocation. This is where graduates are honored with awards from various departments and our student blogger Melissa Elder gave her valedictorian speech.

The morning of graduation there is a reception for graduates and their families to enjoy some refreshments and chat with the professors. They always have an awesome looking ice sculpture.
Then finally graduation! You walk across stage and receive your diploma. Finally! Your undergraduate career is over. Many of our graduates have jobs already waiting for them and some choose to attend graduate school. Northwood gives us the tools and we take them along our road of life. I definitely cannot wait until my graduation next year!
