Anisa's Graduation

Anisa graduated from Yale with a BS in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. It was a with pride and joy that we saw her celebrate with her friends from Davenport College, her Society, and her rowing friends. Jeff and Kaleigh flew in from Seattle in the nick of time on a red eye flight and heroically were present for Anisa's grand Day. Her Grandfather and Christine came from Michigan and Rosembergs who might as well take on the Iqbal name came from Abu Dhabi. Little Julia explored all aspects of Yale and will be ready to consider it in 16 years!

The Baccalaureate ceremony was in Woolsey Hall where we remember Anisa coming in her Freshman year for the welcome ceremony.  It was a fitting place to end after 4 years.  The Colleges were divided up over three different times the ceremony was held over the weekend.

  • The Baccalaureate ceremony was in Woolsey Hall where we remember Anisa coming in her Freshman year for the welcome ceremony.  It was a fitting place to end after 4 years.  The Colleges were divided up over three different times the ceremony was held over the weekend.
  • The ceiling of Woolsey Hall is just gorgeous.
  • Everyone congregated at the Hall.I was a little worried how they would find each other but they made it in while I held seats.  Julia was very bright eyed and looking at this strange place!
  • The hall reverberates with  the slightest noise.  But Juliana and Gui had prepared well and had four different backups to keep her occupied.  The last resort was to go into the hall when she got restless.  She was such a good kid.
  • Davenport walking in.  Anisa was with her friend Katie and Emma (standing to left) but they had to split up they way it was laid out.
  • The sun came out and a shaft of light lit Anisa up at the perfect time.
  • She spots us up on the balcony and sees Julia for the first time.  Immediately texting "Julia is so cute!"

  • The Hall is filled up.  The ceremony was based on a religious ceremony but Yale had Christian, Hindu, and Muslim ministers talk.
  • The Yale Choir also sand and stood at the top of the upper level.  The sound was amazing.
  • Christine and Rich enjoying the morning.
  • Done with the first event.  A short break of a few hours and then get ready for Class Day.
