More than 20,000 people turned out to celebrate the accomplishments of the University's 7,500 graduates -- half of whom were in attendance. Included in the sea of purple-robed students was actor Delroy Lindo who earned a bachelor's degree in cinema after taking classes via correspondence under a pseudonym. Former faculty member and keynote speaker Vartan Gregorian told the graduates: "I hope your education will help you to develop a distinct attitude about life, an attitude that persistently seeks meaning and perspective, especially in places where none seem to exist. It's an attitude that exudes adaptability in a perplexing world. It's an attitude of courage and steadfastness in a world of overwhelming human need and suffering."
