Congratulations Seniors!

To our extraordinary and resilient seniors:

You were up against so many challenges this past year, yet each of you has inspired us in profound ways. Resilience, flexibility, and courage will continue to serve you well as you go forth and follow your passions, fall down, and stand back up.

Congratulations to the truly extraordinary Class of 2021! Despite an unprecedented year, and one of the most competitive landscapes in college history, you have made us so proud and we are humbled to be a part of your journey.
