In the next 2 weeks, Michigan's 15 public universities will award degrees at commencements for the graduating class of 2008. Preparing for these monumental ceremonies can be stressful as the big day approaches. It's a transitional time for students adjusting from studying for exams and cleaning out dorm rooms to finding a place of their own and starting their careers. As you walk across the stage to get that degree you've worked so hard to earn, remember this moment and congratulations.
