On the morning of June 16, the sounds of bagpipes filled the air as more than 1,500 proud, camera-toting family members and friends gathered on the south lawn of Knight Library to watch the School of Journalism and Communication's graduating class––the largest at the University––receive their hard-earned diplomas. Grateful for the warm, dry weather, faculty members from each sequence distributed awards to more than a dozen students for their outstanding contributions to the School. Photo by Jack Liu
