It happened….I GRADUATED from Caltech after 4 years, 2 degrees and 1 amazing experience. The ceremony took place last Friday, June 11, 2010.
Here I am the day on graduation eve, scoping out the assembled stage and chairs.
Since my last name begins with ‘A’, I was the second person to my called on stage—I was able to find my chair for the ceremony…right in front lol
After the candidates march, the faculty march onto the stage. See my Advisor and the Vice Provost Melany Hunt? She looks silly marshalling the faculty to their seats… 😛
My picture was taken by the Pasadena Star News….and given the following caption: Dannah Almasco, who received a degree in Mechanical Engineering and Business Economics Management holding a Sunflower while waving to a friend at Caltech graduation.

I don’t have an actual picture of me walking on stage receiving my diploma… but you can watch it here on the Caltech Commencement website! Click on the View Ceremony link, Presentation of Bachelor’s Degrees
The happy graduate and her proud family
