College graduation is a proud event for any graduate. But for a Canton mother and daughter it was a day made particularly special by participating together in December commencement ceremonies at Wayne State University . This feature story focuses on Connie Zucker and her daughter Lorien, who received degrees in different specialty areas but were equally excited about reaching significant career milestones together. Connie earned a Ph.D. from the College of Education , while Lorien received a B.S. degree in psychology. Lorien actually completed her degree requirements in August, but the two decided it would be neat to participate together in the winter commencement. The newspaper also used a WSU-provided photo of the mother and daughter in their graduation garb.
