Commencement 2008 June 14, 2008 - 4 PM Prof. JL Popyack, photographer

It was one of those occasions for putting on a black gown. Once again armed with my trusty Fuji FinePix 700, I captured these images of similarly-garbed people, most of whom seemed interested in smiling nervously and inching slowly away backwards. Students wearing white silk stoles are members of Upsilon Pi Epsilon, the International Honor Society for the Computing and Information Disciplines.

And for all you "I Spy" fans out there, see if you can spot a pair of nine-time TA's for the freshman sequence, rabid Houston Astros fans, a mayor from a very large city, a Penn graduate who left engineering because of Chem III (see "mayor"), the entire undergraduate SE graduating class (yes, they always stand this close together), former presidents of the MCS Society, Women in Computing Society, and Game Developer's Society, a dual CS/IS graduate (man, what kind of headgear do those people wear?) and someone who graduated with a 4.0 today.

Inscrutably,
JL Popyack
