Commencement (the first of many)

​Last Friday, I attended my first commencement as a faculty member. I enjoyed it! It's such a highpoint of the academic year, and of students' experiences, it wouldn't seem right not to be a part of marking this occasion. I'm especially looking forward to future years when some of the students from my lab will be graduating.

​The commencement speaker was Cory Booker, mayor of Newark, NJ. His speech was really excellent. He has my vote for sure! (If we ever move to Newark...).
