In 2017, University Commencement will be held on Mother's Day, and quite a few of the 2017 School and Arts of Sciences graduates are also mothers. German language and literature major Kendis Pacholec will complete her BA in 2017, after balancing single parenthood, working, and her studies. See the article about Kendis and the other moms graduating in 2017 here!
