Drake walked across the stage at Millet Hall on the Miami University campus on Friday December 12th to celebrate earning his Bachelor of Science in Economics from the Farmer School of Business. He graduated Summa Cum Laude (top 2% of students) as well as Honors in Economics. We were happy we could celebrate ALL the hard work he has put in over the last 3.5 years.
It was a brisk day for graduation and we filled the day with lunch at Gaslight Brewhouse, celebratory drinks at Little Rudy's (while I ran out and got the stole and tassel) and then the afternoon ceremony.
We toasted the graduate at his house with pizza, cheap champagne (all that was cold at the liquor store) and a nice bottle of whiskey (thanks to Drake's friend - here's looking at you Peter!) while watching the 1st period of the Miami hockey game. We then ventured over to Goggin Ice Arena and cheered on the Redhawks with a bunch of Drake's friends. It was an exciting finish as the Redhawks beat Colorado College in a shootout!
The evening wrapped up with drinks at CJ's (an Oxford institution) where Peter and Drake paid the bartender (a good friend) in pennies. We also saw the water ski team there. I'm not sure drinking a drink that is electric blue is a good life choice, but I enjoyed my beverage and soaking it all in.
Congrats to our Miami grad! Most of all, we are so proud of the young man you have become. What a joy and privilege it has been to watch you grow and flourish during your time in Oxford. What a special, special place.
