Congrats Michael! You have conquered and achieved so much in four years. You have been a LEADER since childhood and attending UT Austin pushed you out of your comfort zone. As a result your hard work and competitive drive gave you the courage to step up and show out in unfamiliar territory. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see how you put your engineering skills to work. Go show the world how amazingly great you are. You are officially a TEXAS EX. Love Dad, Mom, relatives and teachers.

University of Illinois 2020 graduates Taylor Haynes from Plano TX (BS Chemistry, Business minor, Illini soccer player), Damond Washington from Waukegan, IL (BA Advertising), and Gabrielle Jones from Algonquin, IL (BS Environmental Studies) had their planned commencement ceremony disrupted by the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic. My husband Arthur and I, along with Reggie and Tera Hooks (Damond’s parents) and Oscar and Lynda Jones (Gabbie’s parents), decided we would have our own virtual commencement for these amazing students. We spent weeks planning and practicing to make sure we created a memorable event for our children. Our ceremony was held Saturday, May 9th. The celebration included special congratulatory messages from Thomas Rooks (U of I Alum and standout Illini running back), Coach Janet Rayfield (Illini head soccer coach), and Yamiche Alcindor (PBS Newshour White House correspondent and MSNBC political contributor); a dynamic commencement speaker (U of I ’18 Law alum Arthur Haynes II) , and special videos for each graduate, along with parent remarks for each. We capped off our celebration with tassel turning (led by U of I ’15 undergrad and ’18 Law alum Loren Jones Haynes), and a champagne toast. Family and friends participated from across the country, and we even had a few friends call in from London. Afterwards, the graduates made remarks, and our friends and family offered their congratulations and well wishes live. The graduates loved it! The entire ceremony can be seen here: https://youtu.be/ft0r18uMNFU

Lamont’e Murphy, a senior at Amon Carter Riverside High School in Fort Worth, was recently accepted to his dream school, Texas Christiain University. Lamont’e worked very hard to get into TCU, but the financial aid was just not there in order for him to attend without avoiding extreme debt. Lamont’e is known for his creative and viral-worthy TikTok videos, so naturally Lamont’e decided to make a video about his acceptance to TCU. His caption read that if 71, 000 people Venmo him $1, he could afford the total cost of attendance at TCU. To much of his surprise, Lamont’e has received an outpouring of financial support from total strangers, TokTok followers, TCU students and alumni, and even his friends and teachers have donated! He has raised over $8k! He is extremely grateful for those who have donated to his fund his education. Though he is receiving financial support from the viral TikTok video, Lamont’e has not stopped applying for scholarships and meeting with TCU financial aid for additional aid. As Lamont’e’s college adviser, I am extremely happy for him. He will be the first of his family to attend college. He plans on one day becoming a doctor.
