A
FAMLY AFFAIR: Ankit Soni (seated,
third from left) received his bachelor's
degree in business administration during
EMU's spring commencement April 26. He
celebrated the milestone with a luncheon
at Paesanos with his family, who flew
in from India; staff from international
admissions and the Office of International
Students; his supervisors from Halle
Library; and his favorite faculty April
27. In addition to obtaining his degree,
Soni, who was vice president of the Indian
Student Association, was instrumental
in helping EMU recruit more students
from India. Last fall, Soni assisted
with a video session in which EMU admissions
staff conversed with students in New
Delhi.
