Veronica’s Graduates from UEA...

July 15 was a big day for us as we accompanied Veronica to the University of East Anglia for the final time.

Jimmy and I were so thrilled and proud to be there to watch Veronica go through her graduation ceremony and to receive her Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science with First-Class Honours, indicating high academic achievement.

Here she is with Larry, one of her housemates from her second year.

We had no idea that the sports hall had such a large auditorium. In addition to the 130 Env students plus their parents, there were also Chemistry majors.

When the Administrators, Lecturers and Professors arrived on stage, they were wearing brightly colored robes and sashes depicting where they graduated from.

I didn’t manage to catch a photo of Veronica actually getting her diploma, but took so many other photos of her that day that I opted to just borrow the official version.

Afterwards, all the grads gathered on bleachers outside to grab a giant group shot. Can you spot Veronica above the lady passing by in yellow?
