Sarah Duncan, Bachelor of Fine Arts

Sarah commenced in Salt Lake City on Friday, May 5, 2017. That is to say that she is now a graduate of the University of Utah!

Eric, Eric's mum Sandra, Sarah's original Mum and Dad, and Grandma Anderson were in proud attendance.

The ceremony took place at the U's venerable Kingsbury Hall (where we'd previously gone to see, for instance, Arlo Guthrie and Jeff Beck).
















Interestingly, as far as we could see, this/she/Sarah was the only athlete-sashed graduate in the College of Fine Arts. (And soccer paid for this ceremony too! Grateful, and grateful, and grateful ...)






















Matriarchs, future matriarchs ...






















We went in and sat down. An excellent faculty saxophone quartet played the music, including a restrained and really striking arrangement of Mr. Elgar's old graduation warhorse.

And now, the Crossing (here comes some might fine photography!):

Chair, then Dean/candidate/photo, then University President ...

... unless you're a modern dancer. (Ask us.)

Hurrah!


































Matriarchs, future matriarchs ...
















These two happy young people are married to each other:






















A bright future! And a bright present, for that matter ...
