During the University of Rhode Island's graduation ceremony weekend, the Jedson family made history by having Allison graduate with her three children, Alex, Emily, and Ethan. Despite initially planning to avoid overshadowing her children’s achievements by graduating in another semester, the children insisted they wanted to graduate alongside their mother. The family's deep connection to the university, starting from Allison's own graduation in the '90s, signifies a legacy that added emotional depth to the occasion, culminating in five celebratory ceremonies in three days this mid-May.
When my mom earned her doctorate, I felt so proud,” said Ethan Jedson, reflecting on the significance of their family’s collective graduation. “This is such a special moment for us all.”
It's one thing to say that you graduated with your brothers,” said Emily, echoing the sentiment. “But it's another thing to say that you graduated with your mom.
The family's connection to the university runs deep, reinforced by generations of education and family traditions tied to the campus, making this graduation even more meaningful.
Allison initially wished to delay her graduation to not overshadow her children, showcasing the family's strong bond and supportive nature.
