SAIS graduations -- on the Web and in photographs

The academic year is drawing to a close at SAIS, both in Bologna and Washington, DC.

Josette Sheeran, executive director of the United Nations World Food Programme, will speak on Thursday at the graduation ceremony at SAIS DC. Her speech will be on "Transformational Leadership in a Flat World."

If you are interested in watching the ceremony and following Sheeran's speech, you can do so by going to www.sais-jhu.edu. The ceremony will be broadcast live starting at 3 pm Washington time (GMT-5) on Thursday.

Graduation -- also called "Commencement" in the United States -- at SAIS Bologna will be this Saturday, May 28. While we will not offer a Webcast of the event, we do plan to post a selection of photographs next week, to honor those moving on and to give incoming students and prospective applicants a sense of the occasion.
