Graduation Day

The culmination of two years of hard work and study... on Sunday, Hiroshi graduated with his MBA from the Darden School of Business at UVa.  Unfortunately, the weather was less than accomodating and we braved - not one - but TWO commencement ceremonies under drippy skies.  Of course, the sky cleared just after they received their diplomas!  Regardless of the weather, it was certainly a day to remember... Congrats, Hiro-kun!

Photos / videos of "Graduation Day":

Adjusting the collar... Looking dapper, with the back steps of the Rotunda behind him Standing in front of Pavilion V And the procession down The Lawn begins... Caught a glimpse of Hiro... And another I was sitting by the lovely Pavilion VII Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III spoke Oh! There he is in the back... Leaving The Lawn I passed through TJ's beautiful serpentine brick walled gardens... And pathways that are so very Jeffersonian Last time to admire the pretty, little chapel Later on, Darden prepares for the diploma ceremony There he is! Great smile, Hiro! Too bad my camera didn't focus... Receiving his Masters hood And that most important piece of paper! After the ceremony, guests ate complimentary sack lunch in the classerooms I lunched with Horii-san's wife Yui-san and Hiro 2009 Japanese grads: Hiro, Naomi Uchida, Yui-san and Takahisa Horii Baby Keito Yui will be a little Darden grad someday, too!
