Julie Rinehart will receive her bachelor’s degree from the UofL College of Education and Human Development on Friday.

So will her 54-year-old father, Darren Rinehart. 

“Graduating with my dad, that’s just the cherry on top of the sundae,” Julie said. 

Julie’s time on campus included a role with the UofL Marching Band. Once Darren enrolled in classes, he also joined the band. 

“We got questioned by quite a few people, but I think we both knew it was really awesome — too great of an opportunity to miss out on,” Julie said.
