Walden University Awards Record Number of Degrees, Commemorates 150th Anniversary of Thoreau Book
During commencement exercises this weekend, members of Walden University's record-setting graduating class of 2004 helped commemorate the 150th anniversary of the publication of Walden, the Henry David Thoreau classic that inspired the name of their university, with its call "to love wisdom" and "to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically." During ceremonies broadcast live via the Internet, Walden University recognized The Thoreau Society on the occasion of the book's sesquicentennial anniversary, along with 2,064 graduating Walden University students who received Ph.D., master's and bachelor's degrees during the past year from Walden's schools of education, psychology, health and human services, and management. This marked an all-time record for the number of degrees awarded in a single year by the accredited, online university.
