Although ongoing repairs to the field meant there was no green grass as a backdrop, the graduating seniors and their families and guests celebrated as usual. About 3,700 students were eligible to participate, having completed degree requirements at the end of spring semester. Georgia’s senior senator, Paul Coverdell, addressed the new graduates. They also heard from one of their own, graduating history major Corey Stern from Mt. Sinai, N.Y., who had been vice president of the Student Government Association this year.
Master’s, specialist and doctoral degrees were conferred on approximately 1,100 graduate students in the afternoon at Stegeman Coliseum. George E. Walker, vice president for research and dean of the Graduate School at Indiana University, addressed the recipients and the audience.
