(NECN: Scot Yount - Boston, Massachusetts) "A motivated student who worked until she got it right," said UMass Boston Chancellor J. Keith Motley as he addressed graduates at commencement.
He is talking about 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, a former UMass Boston student who was killed in the Boston Marathon Bombings.
"One of Krystle's professors in sociology remembers her as a strong, beautiful, ebullient and wise one," Motley told the crowd.
On Friday, Campbell's family accepts a degree in her name.
"We present this diploma to her brother William Campbell III, we are proud and honored to celebrate her life today," said Motley.
