What’s in store for 10 faces of the Class of 2008
As the sun rose high in the sky on Sunday, May 18 — no small bit of news, after three years of rain-soaked Commencements — the 5,800 students who made up the Class of 2008 were gathered as one, for one last time. On a shining Nickerson Field, before family, teachers, and friends, they formed a sea of red, a large moving body of happiness and pride. But if Commencement is a mass exodus, it’s also the end of an individual journey and the beginning of as many different stories as there are graduates. Commencement speaker (and Boston Red Sox CEO) Larry Lucchino told the crowd, “Be mindful of the catalytic effect one person can have on a community, on a neighborhood, on a nation, on a compelling cause or a nagging injustice.” As the Class of 2012 prepares to arrive on campus, we take one last look at seven individuals from the Class of 2008.
