It finally happened! I graduated and now am Amy Gold, M.S. SLP!!! YAHOOOOOO! (Can you tell I'm a little excited?) Jeff, Caleb and I drove up to Northridge the night before and stayed in a hotel, then went to to CSUN for ceremonies on Thursday morning starting at 8 am (which meant we needed to be there at 7:30). The first ceremony was big and long - they read all the names of the graduates of the College of Health and Human Development, which was approximately 500 graduates. After that ceremony, there was a smaller hooding ceremony just for the department of Communication Disorders and Sciences. Following that was an intimate luncheon just for the Speech Pathology distance learning students.
Although it was a long day, it was truly wonderful. I'm so glad I went to see my campus for the first time, meet my professors, and finally be able to put faces to the names of my fellow students that I have been "chatting" with for years.
On Sunday Marilyn and Mickey threw a fabulous Fiesta to celebrate my graduation. My dad, my sister and her family all came down from Northern California to help me commemorate this momentous (and slightly overdue) occasion. The party was so much fun, and a little emotional, too. There were so many family, friends and colleagues there. It was another amazing day.
Thank you to everyone for helping me on this journey. I am so blessed to be part of such a warm and supportive community!

There's something about a blond in a multi-colored poncho.

Hey Hon, now that I have an M.S. I can point out that blonde is spelled with an "e" at the end!

Maybe he was spelling it fo-ne-tik-lee.
