More than 2,300 graduates turned their tassels and received their diplomas from C.W. Post College on Mother?s Day.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) congratulated the class of 2006 during her commencement speech. Clinton also received an honorary degree from the college.

Clinton was not the only mom to receive a degree. Wendy Goldstein, a Long Island mother of two from Hewlett, says she has always wanted to earn a college degree. So for the past five years Goldstein has attended classes and on May 14 walked across the stage to receive her bachelor?s.
