Submitted by Michelle Christopherson Crookston Times This is the week at UMN Crookston, one many have been awaiting as students are wrapping up final projects and presentations and taking final exams. Some will be concluding the week with commencement. Spring is my favorite season, and over the years I have been told this is the best time of the year at UMN Crookston as we get to witness students achieve their degree and walk through graduation. While Spring is still my favorite, this year is different as it is for many; but for me, after 20 years at UMN Crookston and two decades’ worth of commencement ceremonies, we are celebrating Commencement at UMN Duluth too! Yes, it is the “best” time, you see, as our oldest son is capturing his undergraduate degree in communications and marketing.
