COLUMBIA — During both Stephens College graduation ceremonies on a rainy
Saturday, family members crowded around the door of Silverthorne Arena to
photograph the soon-to-be graduates' processional march. The familiar sound of Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" played over the arena's speakers as the students walked to their seats.
The morning ceremony at 10 a.m. was for graduate and continuing education students, and the 2 p.m. ceremony was for undergraduates.
