Newman Commencement 2016

Members of the Newman Class of 2016 received their diplomas yesterday evening during Newman’s 108th Commencement in Tulane’s McAlister Auditorium. Head of School Dale M. Smith welcomed guests and delivered his remarks to begin the program. He was followed by seniors Lexie Gottsegen and Sam Schaefer, who were selected by their classmates to give the student Commencement addresses. The Class of 2016 then accepted their diplomas in turn from Smith and Ann Thompson, Chair of Newman’s Board of Governors. Finally, Upper School history teacher and Class Dean Andrew Bond presented the Class of 2016 to the assembled audience of parents, extended family, friends, and Newman faculty and staff.

 

The Class of 2016 began the evening as Newman seniors, and ended it as alumni. We are so proud of all they have accomplished in the classroom, on the stage, in the studio, and on the playing field – and we anticipate greater achievements from them as they embark on the next chapter of their lives. Congratulations, graduates!
