Did the rain dampen the enthusiasm of this year’s graduates? No, but according to our photographer, it may have dampened the creative impulse: it seemed that more people this year kept their mortarboard decorations to modest “Thanks, Mom” messages and things like that. But among those who did go for showier fare, there were some outstanding efforts, including a great group project by the graduating class of the School of Veterinary Medicine.
