Outgoing College President James Freedman will give his 11th and final commencement address today, one of his last symbolic appearances as president of the College. In an interview with The Dartmouth, Freedman, who will still officially serve for six weeks after Commencement, said he will feel "very sad" after the ceremony is over, and "it is hard not to" after 11 years. "It will be a bitter-sweet moment" Freedmen said. Freedman said his favorite part of Commencement is "seeing the joy of the families." He said the number of family members who attend commencement has increased over the years. "Now you see aunts, uncles, grandparents and more [attending graduation]," Freedman said.
