GRADUATION
FRIDAY-SUNDAY. MAY 20-22, 2005
SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
First step on long road
After several years of hard work and toil in the School of Medicine, graduates will have a pleasant ceremony to look forward to on Saturday before many of them forge ahead to the next stage of medical school.
The 168 participants elected two graduates to speak at the ceremony — Justin Overmiller from the Wichita campus and John Rosen from the Kansas City, Kan., campus — followed by Dick Bond, chairman of the Board of Regents. Chancellor Robert Hemenway and executive vice chancellor Barbara Atkinson will also be on hand, capped off by brief remarks from governor Kathleen Sebelius.
If it all seems like a big event for the school, that's because it is, said Laura Ziegler, assistant dead of student affairs.
"We make it a big deal for everyone," Ziegler said. "It's a long, hard road to finish medical

school, and this is just step one before they start the next phase."
Each graduate gets to the stage at the Lied Center and receives a hood from one of the deans of the School of Medicine.
Between six and eight students will have the special opportunity to receive their
hood from their parents, as long as their parents are School of Medicine faculty members or staff at the KU Medical Center, Ziegler said.
"The Lied Center will be packed, no doubt about it."
"It's an entire family affair," Ziegler said. "Everyone can bring as many people as they want."
Altogether, the ceremony should last about 90 minutes, Ziegler said.
The ceremony will also bestow several awards upon students for various reasons, ranging from academic excellence to pride in the profession to community service.
"It itakes a while to get everyone across the stage, one by one." Ziegler said.
But for students preparing for medical school, it should be worth the wait.

One can guarantee that the "Walk to Old Green Hill" to visit Uncle Jimmy's statue is one full of mixed feelings. This traditional hike marks the final day of classes, which means no more grueling hours spent studying in Green Hall, but then again, no more afternoons in The Wheel celebrating the end of semester finals.
Every year on the last day of classes, a faculty member leads the graduates to Lippincott Hall, the former law building located north of Watson Library, carrying Jimmy Green's walking stick. When they arrive, everyone sits on the steps and a senior faculty member recites the University of Kansas' longstanding history and traditions. The group then adjourns to The Wheel. 14th and Ohio streets.
The event triggers a series of others celebrating the end of a difficult three-year journey. Looking back, Anne Murray, Lawrence graduate, laughed as she recalled the first time she was "awake" in class and randomly called on for an answer. She was scared then but said she just answered with a "no idea." Today, she admits to being relaxed when wandering through Green Hall, east of the Burge Union.
AT A GLANCE
The School of Law has prided itself with tradition and excellence for more than 125 years.
The School of Law heading ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday in the Lied Center.
Murray had every reason to feel intimidated in the beginning.
"It was the most challenging three years of my life," Misikir Tilahun, Lawrence graduate and president of the Student Bar Association, said. "The level of rigor you face is unlike any other."
Mark Emert, Sabetha graduate, recalled professor Sward's nine-hour final his first semester as one of his most distinct memories.
"I took a 10-minute break in the morning and 30 minute one in the afternoon and I was still cutting it close," he said.
The hours the students have put into studying throughout these past three years have drawn to a close. One hundred and fifty-three students will walk across the stage Friday in the Lied Center for an intimate graduation ceremony.
The graduates have not only developed strong relationships with each other but have lasting bonds with their professors and faculty as well.
Students and faculty become a tight knit community because they see the same people in the same buildings ever day, he said.
"The law school is like a small town in many ways," Stephen R. McAllister, dean of the school, said.
These individuals, along with the graduates' families, help make graduation day special. McAllister separated Sunday's events into three distinct parts — the hoding, the reception, and walking down the hill.
At the ceremony, a student-elected faculty member performs the hooding. No formal speaker will be present. McAllister will give a brief address, which will include what it means to be a lawyer and the importance of KU pride.
Following tradition, four distinguished alumni will be presented. Their names are kept quiet, however, McAllister gave two clues.
"Two are very well-known around here and the others have done amazing things for the school," McAllister said.
"I can give my family and friends a tour of the law school." he said.
Tilahun said his favorite part will be the reception and the opportunity to introduce family members to his mentors.
Graduating from the school will be a monumental occasion in these students' lives. After two previous graduations, this third "holds more prestige," Emert said. "It's the finale, the end of an era."
