There's never a better time to look back then at graduation -- excuse me -- Final Exercises.
Most of this weekend's graduates entered the University to the shock of airplanes taking down the Twin Towers in New York. Trying to cope with the tragedy from the discomfort of a first-year dorm, these students entered the University with the world in flux.
Since that fateful first semester, graduates read in the pages of The Cavalier Daily about troubling racial incidents, a dramatic restructuring of the University's relationship to the Commonwealth, reforms to the University's sexual assault policy, a rising football team and a declining basketball team, a heated debate over the single sanction and a highly publicized open honor trial.
This issue hopes to look back at some of these critical events that shaped the University over the last four years. It also provides our graduating staff members a final opportunity to pass on their farewells, thanks and wisdom.
So in that spirit,
To everyone who ever worked for The Cavalier Daily: Thanks a thousand times over for trekking down to the basement of Newcomb Hall. The CD would not be what it is without a dedicated a staff. For those of you ever on the Managing Board, Chris, Becky, Kara, Josh and Andrew, I hope you enjoyed the experience as much as I am enjoying it now.
To everyone else: Thanks for reading and best of luck as you enter the so-called "real world." As a fellow Wahoo, I know you'll succeed at whatever you do.
