The University's honorary degree ceremony for golfer and alumnus Jerry Kelly '89 received extensive media coverage. USA Today referenced the ceremony this way: "When Kelly played at the Travelers' Celebrity Pro-Am on Wednesday, he had his new red, black and white doctoral hood draped around his shoulders when he hit his opening tee shot. A 1989 graduate of the Barney School of Business, Kelly then playfully flipped the bottom of the long hood into the wind, to the delight of the crowd that ringed the tee box."
