Salam Al Ghafli and his mother Fatimah will both graduate from KU on Sunday with bachelor's degrees. Salam and Fatimah took six classes together, and at Fatimah's insistence, sat side by side in the front row. Gathered Thursday in front of Strong Hall from left are Salam's brother Hassan Al Ghafli, his father Mansour Al Ghafli, his mother Fatimah Al Ghafli and Salam.

Fatimah Al Ghafli and her son Salam have been side by side for much of the past four years as they’ve studied at KU. And they’ll be side by side again Sunday, when they both will graduate. By Matt Erickson
