Mom’s MSW Graduation

Mom earned her Masters of Social Work from Winthrop University in South Carolina. Mom and dad went out to be at the graduation in person.

Flew to Charlotte, North Carolina, picked up rental car from airport, drove to Winthrop University in South Carolina, stayed a an AirBnB across the street from the campus. Nice old style room.
Toured the campus (mom had never been there before – only done online classes). Here she is posing in front of a university banner and the famous “Eagles” statue near the front of the campus.
Thinking deep thoughts in front of the campus auditorium.
Gathering with fellow graduates in the social work program before the awarding of degrees.
