I graduated pierpont on the 7th, but that was like ehh, who cares. This is a whole other level of excitement!!! Did you do another bachelors with LSU? and where are you going for grad school?
You should be on Dean's List with your GPA for the Summer Semester. We're still waiting on our letters for the Spring Semester. There's a lag of like 2 months with them. It's a nice thing to receive. The Dean's List will also be noted on your transcripts. As will the Latin Honors which I think is pretty cool. I earned that 4.0! It was a LOT of effort. Soooo many LONG papers and projects to get that. I really thought I was going to lose my 4.0 with Spanish and the Computer Programming for Managers classes, but somehow I got A's in those classes. It was so stressful! LOL
We didn't get the stoles. They have had them in the past for Commencement. There's photos of them walking across the quad with them. If you any of participate in Commencement next year, we'll probably get them then.
I'm completing a Post Baccalaureate Certificate at LSU through their online program. I could stay for grad school and continue in the program, but I won't stay. I'm looking at East Carolina University and Rochester Institute for Technology (RIT) for grad school. Both programs are online. I was leaning towards RIT, but ECU has a program that really caters to exactly what I want to do....and besides who doesn't want to go to the ocean when they graduate? LOL I am hoping to go to Louisiana for Commencement in December. So far it will be an in person event so I really want to go since my bachelor's degree was a virtual one which just wasn't the same. It was nice don't get me wrong, but there's just something about doing the walk across campus and across the stage. It's just different.
