Big things in store for WWU grads

Danielle Schmidt walked off Western Washington University's campus with something a lot sparklier than a diploma Saturday, June 11.

After her commencement ceremony was finished, her boyfriend of more than a year made a big day even bigger by proposing.

"It was one milestone in her life and I wanted to bring another milestone to top it off," said WWU student Evan Ault, who got down on one knee next to the fountain in Red Square to pop the question. "I was hoping for more sun, but I'll take cloudy days for a 'yes' any day."
