Mom and son graduate together in touching surprise ceremony.
One Michigan woman, Sharonda Wilson, was graduating from Ferris State University on the same day her son was graduating from Central Michigan University. Sharonda decided to skip her own graduation ceremony to attend her son’s commencement.
Sharonda’s self-sacrifice moved the CMU President, Bob Davies to get in touch with Ferris State’s president David Eisler to see if there was anything they could work out. Together they decided to surprise Sharonda with her own degree at her son’s ceremony.
The tear-jerking moment won major applause on the big day and later on social media, in video footage that has since gone viral on Twitter with over 704,000 views.
“I told a friend of mine that [my] mom was skipping her graduation to be with me, and she used her magic to help Dr. Davies orchestrate that moment,” Stephan told the Free Press.
In the sweet scene, Stephan helps his mom put on a crimson and gold graduation cap, moments before CMU President Bob Davies made a one-of-a-kind announcement from the main stage at Plachta Auditorium, Yahoo Lifestyle reports.
“I made a call today when I found this out, to David Eisler, the president of Ferris State University, so please pay attention,” Davies began.
