Description
The Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) honored its latest round of graduates during the 2013 Fall Quarter Graduation Ceremony held in King Auditorium, Dec. 20. Presiding over a graduation ceremony for the first time was NPS President retired Vice Admiral Ronald A. Route, who after welcoming the graduates and their families, acknowledged the work of faculty and staff in preparing today's soon-to-be alumni. Route, himself an NPS alumnus, went on to introduce a fellow operations research graduate in the day's keynote speaker, retired Adm. Michael G. Mullen, 17th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 28th Chief of Naval Operations. As Mullen took the podium to address the graduating class, the alumnus first expressed his gratitude to the graduates' families and friends.
