The commencement ceremony for a University of Minnesota student is the very definition of bittersweet.
U of M engineering student Collin Brown got his diploma yesterday after university president Eric Kaler agreed to hold the ceremony early so that Brown’s dad could see his son get a diploma.
Ken Brown, of Champlin, was diagnosed with ALS in his son’s freshman year and he’s not expected to live until the U’s regular commencement.
This is what grace looks like.
