It was a joyous day full of family, friends and fellow students, and a significant milestone in the lives of our undergraduates.

Halla Piekarski, a History grad from 1964, wrote an autobiography and also her own obituary. Storytelling is how Halla catalogued her life, made order of it and discerned what truly mattered. .
