Though the expansion of commencement has made Hudzikiewicz’s job harder, she said planning has been a worth while experience. “Over the years, it has expanded and I think it is wonderful because the more people who have an op portunity to be individually recog staff for keeping the University green and gorgeous, even though they get so little thanks for their hard work. 4) The intellectual environment.
