At its 90th Graduation Exercises, the Lowell Institute School recently awarded 914 course certificates, including 145 to 106 MIT employees. Nineteen completed the eight-course Certificate Program: five in electronics technology, six in engineering drawing and eight students in computer technology. Total registration for the year was 1,120, of whom 180 were MIT employees and 232 were women, with 80 percent completing the course requirements.
Dr. Bruce D. Wedlock, director of the LIS, presented the certificates at a graduation dinner at the MIT Faculty Club. Assisting him was Kathleen Born, a Cambridge City Councilor, who was also the guest speaker. She is a practicing architect and earned her master's degree from MIT in 1977.
The graduation ceremonies were held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Alumni Association of the Lowell School. This year George O. Hirsch, class of 1925, celebrated his 70th class reunion and was chosen as the honorary grand marshal of the LIS Alumni Association.
