Whitney says her "future plans include getting a puppy. That's a definite. I'm thinking about joining the Peace Corps and doing some traveling. Master's Degree (if I can find a company to do tuition reimbursement and/or scholarships and/or save up enough money) will be in Anthropology."
Whitney has worked hard for this honor and looks forward to a bright future as she was reminded in the commencement address by Ed Catmull - the U’s most famous alum - “you all have the potential to be great!” The president of Walt Disney Animation Studios and co-founder and president of Pixar Animation Studio (“Toy Story” / “Monsters, Inc.” / “Finding Nemo” / “Up”) also told the grads “there will be ups and downs, but the goal is to keep moving forward!”
Like so many
other graduates – at the “U” and across the nation – Whitney is likely to see
some employment struggles ahead in the nation’s current difficult economy.
NOTE: Pictures were taken by the Deseret News so
are not very clear (because they are protected), but still pretty fun!!!
Another graduation was also held on Friday, May 4 in Guyana. From left, Heather Baveghens, Lorraine Jacobs, Christine Braithwaite, Vicky Ramsay, and Zitronie George graduated today from what I believe is probably my last 20-hour / 2-week Secretary School. Heather is a 54-year-old who sits in a security booth in the dark of the night. She doesn’t read well and is difficult to understand, but is a very nice woman, loves the Church and is anxious to have a better life. Her sister Lorraine has been a teacher, worked in a hospital emergency room and was one of the most enthusiastic students – frequently smiling and saying, “wow” and “ooohh” with everything she was able to do on the computer. Christine and Vicky are both beautiful, bright jobseekers. Zitronie (not pictured) is about to graduate from the University of Guyana with a degree in Communications . . . and wants to go to law school. A fun and energetic group with which to end this “university of secretary work!”
