Farewell!!

Hi for one final time!

I am an official graduate of Notre Dame of Maryland University!! Commencement was held last Saturday, May 26th, at the Baltimore Convention Center downtown. I got the honor of carrying the School of Arts & Sciences banner and lead in the undergraduate and graduate students.

It was so great to finally have my diploma in hand and see so many of my fellow classmates s accomplish what we've worked so hard for! It was a great day! Here's a picture of me and my family after the ceremony:

Dave came and brought flowers on top of that!! Such a keeper!

After four years of hard work in college, everything paid off! I can't wait to see the incoming freshman class at Notre Dame experience the same pride and happiness that graduation brings in a few years.

Thanks for staying in touch and keeping up with my blog this past year! It's been fun.

Emily

Stuent Ambassador of the Year!!

Stopping in to share some exciting news! I was voted on by the admissions office for Student Ambassador of the Year along with my friend and fellow "SA" Anne! It was a tie. We're both so wonderful, it's hard to choose between us two. :P

I've also completed my last week of classes and there are only TEN more days til graduation! Speaking of which, I was asked by the Dean of Arts & Sciences to carry the School of Arts & Sciences banner at Commencement! I am so excited and honored!

I hope you're enjoying the end of your school year and looking forward to summer vacation! :)

Bead for Life

Hi All!


This week, Omega Phi Alpha, the national service sorority I'm involved with on campus, is selling Bead for Life jewelry. If you do not know what that is, please check out their website: www.beadforlife.org/ You can order online and also host "bead parties" which is essentially what we've been doing this week! Tuesday and today we had booths in Doyle & Fourier lobbies where we were selling the beautiful pieces.


Here is a picture of me and some sister modeling off some bracelets:

The jewelry is made out of recycled paper and offers employment to women in Uganda. With the money they earn, they can provide food for their families, fees for education, and healthcare. All of the proceeds from what we sell goes directly back to the women! I've been a part of this sale for a couple of years now and I love it. We will continue this in the years to come, so if you're an incoming student, look for it next semester!
