Team Robison: Mark's Graduation

On Friday May 2nd, Mark graduated from the University of Utah with a M.S. in Metallurgical Engineering. His parents came in town to attend the graduation. Mark's cousin, Matt Dunstan, also graduated with a B.S. in Metallurgical Engineering. Matt will be continuing on to the PhD program at the U, but Mark is finished with school forever! We arrived early and had no trouble with parking. Mark's college was rather small, which made the graduation much more personal. Instead of rushing through names, a brief introduction was given for every single graduate. Besides Mark's parents, my Grandpa Pingel and my brother Aaron and his family also attended the graduation. It was nice to have so much family support. Afterwards, we went out to lunch because we were starving. Then back to our house, where Mark's siblings, Anna, Michael and John, joined us for a cookout. In case you were wondering, Mark's thesis was entitled: "Modeling and Experimental Validation of Electroplating Deposit Distributions in Copper Sulfate Solutions." I have probably read it a hundred times, but please, don't ask me what it's about.
