Nearly 150 Fall graduates were celebrated by family, friends, faculty and staff at convocation Thursday, Dec. 12.  The senior speaker was Saylor Williams, a journalism major with a minor in film studies. “If I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that a perfect ending doesn’t always exist. Nothing is certain and things don’t always work out. We have to accept the imperfect clutter and disorder of life and live it to the best of our ability,” Williams said.
