Dear Class of 2022 ... Love, ΞΆΓάΘ¦

by Chris Cruz, Julia Marco, and Angela Valden

Four years ago, the Class of 2022 arrived on campus and joined a community that β€” true to the ΞΆΓάΘ¦ spirit β€” often feels like family. 

From classwork and campus life to internships and athletics, the graduates have left an impression on faculty and staff in every corner of ΞΆΓάΘ¦. And, in an era that has challenged and inspired so many, there is perhaps no better time to take a moment to share what's in our hearts. 

In this message to the Class of 2022, several faculty and staff members come together to gift a few final words to these exceptional graduates.

  • Subhan Ali, international student and scholar advisor, Student Academic Services
  • Rodrigo Schneider, assistant professor, Economics Department
  • John Winnek, retail operations supervisor, Dining Services 
  • Tim Harper, associate professor, Management and Business Department
