CCAS held a ceremony on Friday, May 15, to honor the MAAS class of 2009. During the hour-long program, Dr. Judith Tucker, Director of the MAAS program, called each graduate up to the podium, where she spoke about their interests, experiences during MAAS, and future plans. An audience of 200 family members, friends, staff, and faculty watched and cheered. An open bar and buffet dinner followed, and some stayed to dance and celebrate into the night. 

Please see below for a few photos from the event.
