Graduation Party... - grauwulf - 02-01-2011
I'm hosting a meet-up style graduation party this year around commencement time. This would be central Maryland DC/Baltimore area (Maybe Dave & Busters) for all of us crazy distance learners. I thought of this because even though my school is mostly distance, folks are mostly in that area (go figure, University of Maryland, U.C.
Anyway, considering that I've now done as much school work through DSST as through my current school..... the invite is open to you my degreeforum classmates as well.
If you'd like to be put on the invite list post here or PM me.

I would totally go... I REALLY hope I can graduate by spring. I think so, but won't know until the end of the month.
Sign me up
I am nowhere near there, but travel for work, so if I could wrap a business trip around it...

TESC has commencement in Oct. every year for anyone who graduated the previos Dec-Sep. I went in 2008 for my AA and 2010 for my BA. Nice ceremony it is up in a pod cast on thier site. Usually about 400 graduates attend and it is a great day. You get to wear a Cap & Gown and walk across the stage and say your name.
Edit: The party sounds great,but I won't graduate this year

Yes, and Yes!
The ceremony was once a year in October. Last year October 2010:
Thomas Edison State College's Thirty-Eighth Commencement Thomas Edison State College | Commencement
It seems they've now added a second date - Spring ceremony in April. See the link...there is a photo of Class of 2010 on the left! Thomas Edison State College | Commencement

When I tried the link to commencement video I got the 2009 video.
