It is a family tradition that when Sparky graduates, her father gives her a bouquet of flowers. Earlier this week we contacted "Steve" from Bouquet Shop at (610) 525-2422 and described what we wanted. This is his beautiful creation we had delivered to her...

Per Villanova President Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA, PhD, "When it is safe to gather, Villanova will honor its graduates in person, on campus and is currently exploring possible dates." So, we look forward to a future in-person celebration!
