Dan honored at San Jose State University commencement (Updated 5/30)

Having completed his Bachelor of Arts in Communications Studies degree in December, Dan joined with other Class of 2011 graduates at the San Jose State University commencement on Saturday.

Dan was honored as a summa cum laude graduate, signified by the medallion with gold ribbon he wore with his graduation gown.

At a convocation earlier in the week, Dan was presented with both the Emeritus Faculty Award and the Minnie Carr Award "for Academic Excellence and Service to the SJSU Communication Studies Department."

At right, he stands beside the building where he had most of his major-studies classes at SJSU.
