8FPS: CSUC Graduation

Boy, was Saturday busy. What kept me scrambling the most was covering the first of many graduations. I went to the Saturday graduation ceremonies for California State University - Chico and was racing to find something. You never know what to expect at graduations. This particular one was suppose to be hit with rain in the forecast, but was treated to a wonderfully cool and partly cloudy morning. The event was rather mild in activity. I looked for signs of interest, but wasn't very successful.  I took part in finding the happy graduate portrait shots to illustrate the ceremony. One unique thing did happen in the program. An honorary degree given to David C. Favor. Here are the 8 highlights of the graduation. (more grad photos are sure to come).
