Eye on UMSL: Graduation smiles

A few UMSL students pose after participating in a commencement ceremony Dec. 20 at the Mark Twain Athletic & Fitness Center. They joined nearly 700 of their fellow student participants, who on that day marked a significant achievement in their lives. Congratulations to all of UMSL’s graduates!

The photograph was taken by UMSL photographer August Jennewein and is the latest to be featured in Eye on UMSL.
