Amidst messages of perseverance, determination and accomplishment, nearly 150 Grady College students were celebrated during Fall Convocation on Dec. 11.

The senior orator, who was selected by audition, was Katina Inglis, a public relations major and fashion merchandising minor from Alpharetta, Georgia. She spoke about growing up with dyslexia and the perseverance it took to overcome labels and limiting expectations.
