It is graduation weekend across the State for many of North Carolina’s institutions of higher education. And Greensboro is no exception. UNCG’s graduation was held yesterday. NCA&T’s commencement ceremony is today. Line up starts at 8:00 am at the Coliseum on West Lee Street so be forewarned if you are in the area. Traffic will be bad! Greensboro College held their ceremony last weekend and Guilford College’s is next weekend. However, the public institutions of higher education like to hold theirs on Mother’s Day weekend. Perhaps that is the best gift of all is to have a child who has graduated from college!

The above photo is a rock with a Spartan medallion, located on UNCG’s campus, between the Elliot University Center and Mossman Administration Building. It was a popular spot for photography yesterday. It sure is beautiful with the azalea’s blooming. If you have someone in your life graduating, congratulations to him/her and remember, nothing helps cushion the blow of entering the adult world more than a little cash in an envelope- whether you are in Greensboro or elsewhere!
