What's your favorite photo by Ken Bennett, our recently retired University photographer? Editor Maria Henson ('82) chose this shot from a rainy 2013 Commencement: "While Ken's photos have always captured the Wake Forest I love, this photo holds a special place in my heart. One of my journalism students is in the foreground. Despite the downpour, the new graduate is smiling with spirits undaunted. I think Ken caught the moment for an entire class."

There is an interesting story about the rain that day. I was staying in touch throughout the morning with local meteorologists and keeping Jennifer Richwine updated frequently. Late in the event, a WXII meteorologist called me and told me that we needed to wrap it up fast, we were about to get wet. I updated Jennifer Richwine and she immediately told U officials, who moved quickly but calmly to conclude commencement a little early. So, all went well, everyone enjoyed a wonderful event on Hearn Plaza and we didn’t get a shower until commencement ended. Great day. Beautiful event.
