Eye on UMSL: More than a number

by UMSL Daily | May 14, 2018

Many of the people who helped Marco Pipoly along the way toward his degree were there Saturday afternoon to celebrate as he became UMSL's 100,000th graduate.

Marco Pipoly couldn’t have earned his degree in psychology and become the 100,000th graduate of the University of Missouri–St. Louis without plenty of support. Many of the people who helped him along the way were there Saturday afternoon to celebrate. They joined him on stage after the 2 p.m. commencement ceremony and fittingly backed him as he marked a milestone that, for UMSL, was 55 years in the making.

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