Chicago State University to graduate 1,000 tonight

Just checked my e-mail just now from CSU's Brian Pitzer:
More than 1,000 students will graduate tonight at Chicago State University’s Spring Commencement ceremony at the Emil and Patricia A. Jones Convocation Center beginning at 6 p.m.

Two students will make history as the University’s first doctoral graduates from the College of Education. Angelia Roberts-Watkins and Reginald Patterson will receive doctor of education degrees – the first time that degree has been awarded at CSU.

Other notable graduates are Tiffany Brown, who was named outstanding graduating senior and will enroll in College of Pharamacy at CSU in the fall, and Fiona Wan, a resident of Vancouver, British Columbia, who will graduate summa cum laude and has been accepted into the school of law at Indiana University, Bloomington. Both students have received numerous academic honors during their careers and Ms. Brown is a member of the CSU track team and Ms. Wan is a member of the CSU golf team.

Interim President Dr. Frank G. Pogue will honor five students graduating summa cum laude, 11 students graduating magna cum laude, and 55 students graduating cum laude.

Media coverage of the event is welcome. Chicago State University is located at 95th Street and Martin Luther King Drive.
Congrats to all CSU grads.

I would like to note any other graduations in other ward schools as well. All that's needed is a brief e-mail.
