The only problem is that Smith never graduated. He dropped out his senior year. So, my question is, can you be an alumnus of a school from which you did not graduate?
Bonus quote from Smith's commencement
speech:
"I've watched the sun rise over the deck of an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf," he said. "I've spoken with presidents and interviewed kings. I've gotten up in Santorini and Split, and bedded down in Dubai and Dubrovnik and Amman and Amsterdam."
Left out of the official press release, Shep then added, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
