Rob and I watched the ceremony from another building where they were showing it live. We actually got the better deal because we had air conditioning (it was really muggy) and comfortable seats, unlike the rest of the family in the main auditorium. Here are Ethan, Rob, me, and Seth just after the ceremony.
I missed this part of the weekend. Ethan and the other engineers presented their Senior design project. Maybe Ethan will comment so you all can know exactly what it is. But I know that at least in this picture, their special printer is printing under water!
This was also taken right after the graduation ceremony. In his left hand is his diploma. In his right...the Bruin Bear!! It's a George Fox thing. From what I hear, every year there are several "Bruin Brawls" where every class unites and fights the other classes to secure this bear. It's an out and out war, so I'm told. Anyway, the goal is to get the bear off campus and which ever class succeeds gets to keep the bear until the next brawl. When the Senior class gets it, the bear is retired. So, in the last brawl, Ethan was the one to run it off campus so he gets to keep it!
This is Ethan and his sweet princess, Rachel! It was her birthday that day so we got to go hang out with her and her family for the evening!
And this is Ethan with his faithful buddy, Jason! They have roomed together all but one year--and then, they were only one room apart. Jason remained a Mechanical Engineer. Ethan switched to Electrical I believe just last year. Anyway, they have been good friends through their college journey!
Yay! They all look so handsome! And you look gorgeous, as usual.
ReplyDeleteThat Bruin Bear looks like a leather sack, haha. Is it actually bear-shaped?
Not anymore. It used to be an actual teddy bear...but I guess the game got more aggressive so the bear got tougher. :)
