SPEA Honors Reception and MPA Hooding, May 3, 2002

Faculty Members

Faculty members: Back, L to R: Alex da Silva, Dan Lowery, Rick Hug, Joe Pellicciotti, and Michael Griffin.
Front, L to R: Susan Zinner-Kemp, Ellen Szarleta, Jackie Mullany, and Karen Evans.
Families and friends wait patiently (?) for the festivities to begin.
Are all nineteen of you here yet?


MPA graduate Linda Zramkoski is hooded by Professor Karen Evans, with the able assistance of Alex da Silva and Professor Jean Poulard. The standing joke in the faculty seats was: "How many PhDs does it take to place a Masters' hood properly?" Answer: "More than you'd think!"  


Bill Vargo draws the short straw - he gives a very short speech thanking the faculty.
SPEA conferred seven MPA degrees in December, 2001. There are 15 candidates for May, 2002, and six more will complete their degrees in August, 2002. Of these 28 graduates, 19 were present for the hooding ceremony.

After the ceremonies were concluded, students and their families were served some munchies. The real future of SPEA may be represented in the  little ones, like Bill Vargo's son Matt (below).
