a USC graduation

You guys! I went to a USC graduation recently – honestly a remarkable event. The campus is utterly gorgeous! Besides that, USC goes all out for the graduates, their family and friends. How lucky am I to support someone so incredibly dedicated to their studies? At such an impressive college? Seriously. What a beautiful venue and an incredible set of events for celebration!

The evening before the graduation ceremony, USC had Deepak Chopra speak, surrounded by many accomplished and incredible student performances for their Baccalaureate Reception. Sadly, I have no photos of that. But I assure you, USC has many gifted forces in their scholar pool. I especially loved the choir’s rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Man in the Mirror.” As one of my favorites, I appreciated their flawless performance!

OMG – SO MUCH to take in on graduation day with 50K graduates and all their family attending. Albeit a little overwhelming with the sheer volume of people, USC’s fanfare was spectacular! The University of Southern California graduation included some great speakers, including a hilarious Will Farrell. I couldn’t help but catch a buzz on all the excitement and anticipation from everyone in the crowd. And the graduates looked so astute and eager to take on the next chapter of their life! So happy for all the new USC alumni!

Here are some photos of the USC Graduation ceremony, if you’d like to see:

They had doves, you guys. Dude. I wish I’d known, so I could be prepared for this fantastic photo-op!

Here is the graduate, the man I’m so incredibly proud of:

You’ve done a stellar job, dear friend. Your determination, dedication and accomplishment speak volumes for your future. I hope you get to relax soon, and that you’re life is filled with only good things. And hey, thanks for including me in a USC graduation! Special on it’s own, exceptional because of you.

xoxo, amy
