University of Washington 129th Commencement Ceremony

On Saturday June 12th the University of Washington held their 129th Commencement Ceremony at Husky Stadium. Having graduated a number of years ago it was refreshing to see so much pride and excitement on so many faces. As a friend of Ha's I attended the ceremony to help celebrate her accomplishment of earning a Master's of Social Work.

To the casual visitor to this page it may seem that there are duplicates of the same picture, but, I have included those pictures on purpose to help communicate the excitement and joy that everyone was feeling which was partially manifested by the taking of so many pictures.
