Did You Miss Commencement?
More than 700 green-gowned seniors graduated from Old Westbury on a beautiful spring day. Registrar Patricia Smith, the chair of the 2008 commencement, reports that at least "3,000 family and friends joined to celebrate the graduating class of 2008 on the Meadow Terrace outside the Campus Center Sunday morning during the College's 42nd Commencement Ceremony."
Catalyst Radio News produced a live web-cast of the proceedings for all of the friends and relatives who could not attend the ceremony. This is the third consecutive Commencement web-cast streamed live on Old Westbury Web Radio.
