UMass Medical School held its Commencement exercises on June 1, 2008 at Mechanics Hall in downtown Worcester. Top - graduates gather in the robing area prior to the ceremony. 2. More so than any Commencement I've shot, babies were abound. 3. The hooding sometimes resembles some type of religious ritual with humble servant bowing before the master - looking up in wonderment! 4. Chancellor Michael Collins chatting on stage with Massachusetts Supreme Court Chief Marshall, an honorary degree recipient. 5. Along with the many babies, many unions were made during the long road to becoming a doctor. A couple celebrates the shared achievement.
