activism and social advocacy to postmodern arts and the

closer look at one or more of these research papers -- many of

Commencement: This year the Senior Recognition Ceremony in Kumler Chapel included a
"non-traditional" graduate:
Catherine "Sue" McLaughlin Montgomery '56. Though
she didn't graduate with her original class, Catherine was
able to transfer later college credits and receive a Miami
Bachelor of Philosophy degree with the WCP Class of '06. Other WCAA connections included announcing winners of the
Jacqueline Wallace award and the Betty Ann Koons Miller
'32 academic regalia.
