With the completion of my degree program coming up in September 2013, I was approved to attend the Capella University Commencement Ceremony on August 10th because I am in good academic standing (GPA of 4.0) and I'm currently in the last half of my final Capstone course. The Commencement took place at the Minneapolis Convention Center in downtown Minneapolis and most activities during the weekend took place within the Minneapolis Hilton, a very beautiful hotel just a short distance from the convention center.
On Friday - August 9, my family and I took part on Friday in the Capella University Meet & Greet, the Military Reception, and the President's Dinner.
