[email protected]. A Word from the President ... The pageantry of another spring commencement ceremony is fading from our memories as the members of the Class of 2002 leave the campus to claim their places in the world. It was a great day, beginning with a prayer breakfast for graduating seniors and members of the faculty and staff and concluding with a reception in the Commons for the graduates and their guests. By late in the afternoon, hundreds of rolls of film recorded thousands of smiles. Two students who arrived with this class in the fall of 1998 were not present for the festivities last month. Antwoyne Edwards died at Lake DeGray in a boating accident in 2000 and Vanessa Seals perished in an automobile crash near Heber Springs, Arkansas, in 2001.
