Chorong smiles and poses in front of the Purdue Engineering fountain. She is wearing a red mini dress with peach-colored high heels. Chorong is holding her diploma cover from Purdue University with her left hand, and her right arm is raised to the sky palm up at a 140 degree angle. The sky in the background is blue, with minimal clouds. The sun is shining brightly.
