SPH Families

You didn't even have to be awake for all the SPH 2012 graduation ceremony to notice something special going on: It was family year! More than a half dozen graduates walked across the stage with babes in arms (like the Clark family, pictured at left with baby Paige), or holding hands with youngsters. SPH faculty members on stage stepped foward to embrace their graduating children. It was a testament to the special kind of place this is. (Photo by MB Lewis)
