Our youngest son is graduating May 7 from University of South Carolina in Chemistry. We are so proud of him. I need to brag for a second. He's been doing inorganic chemistry research for a professor the last two years. Upon graduating, he wrote a paper and presented to professor (I think a requirement). Anyhow, the Department of Chemistry was so impressed it is being "published" .... that's a huge deal and a bigger deal for an undergraduate. Usually, this is saved for doctorate candidates. From a mother's point of view, I hope it will look good on his resume and help him get a JOB!!! Anyone out there need an outstanding chemist with strong lab experience in Organic and Inorganic Chemistry??? Haha
We are having a very small luncheon after graduation ceremony. I wanted to do a few things for the table at the restaurant. We will be out-of-town, so I'm trying to keep it simple and portable. I did a few easel pieces and made pillow boxes (Silhouette Store). I''m sharing these in today's post.
