When Finola Hughes isn’t busy taping scenes as GENERAL HOSPITAL’s iconic character, Anna Devane, or working as a director on one of her movie projects, the Emmy-winning actress is an adjunct lecturer at the University of Southern California School of Dramatic Arts!

A faculty member of the esteemed USC for two semesters now, Hughes taught the “Performance for Camera” course to students in the Master of Fine Arts program this past spring. And on May 12, the GH star donned a black robe and cap to join her fellow educators at USC’s 140th Commencement Ceremony.

“Graduation Day,” Hughes cheered on Instagram, sharing a carousel of photos from the big event. “It’s such a beautiful, bittersweet day. Waved goodbye to my incredible students. They are on their way to fulfilling their dreams. Love them.”

Scroll through the gallery below to see the images Hughes shared from her first graduation ceremony as a USC faculty member!
