Caps, gowns, and whipped cream? It must be the May edition of Simon Says!  This month we kick off our season of celebration, including graduation, Gatton Honors Day and Gatton Alumni Hall of Fame at 7 p.m. EST, Thursday, May 27. You'll also get to meet our six Outstanding Seniors and find out who was chosen for the Dean's Awards for Excellence!
