Today many of our students will graduate and begin the new part of their life. I almost always go to graduation and love to witness this important mark in their life. When I graduated with my undergrad degree, I did not go to the ceremony because I was not interested in the pomp and circumstance of it all. I had finished the quarter before and saw no reason to spend the money on the gown rental. I had moved on. But I missed that recognition of my accomplishment by not joining my friends at this life marker.
Today, I will mark theirs and celebrate the work they put in to get to this place. I will send them my hopes for a continued life making art, and making a difference. I will come to understand that my time with them will change. They will be come art colleagues. I will miss them.

Some work from Senior BFA Shows that I think are as good as any graduate show
 |
| Kate and her images by Diane Kruer |
 |
| Outside the installation |
These are from Kate Dube's installation Simple Truths Speaks Volumes with 24" square images filling an 8' square space. A soundtrack is also filling the space with sounds of each person pictured sharing personal epiphanies.
These are from Spencer Sturr's photo installation called Is There Anybody Out There... which included a couple more images and sound. These stunning images were printed very large and commanded quite a lot of attention. Spencer will be going to graduate school in film at Chapman in Orange County.
Michelle Moore's Photobooth included enlarged strips of 4 like the traditional photobooth produced and as installed read like a story across the central sections.
