Looking Back

Commencement is not just a ceremony; it’s a rite of passage. Historically, graduations symbolize the hard work and dedication students have shown over the years. According to a recent survey, 82% of graduates feel a deep sense of accomplishment and excitement about their futures as they receive their diplomas.

The absence of printed programs this year reflects a growing trend toward digital solutions. More schools are opting for online formats to reduce waste. You can access the commencement program here or scan the QR code at the event.

Congratulations to all graduates! Let’s make these ceremonies memorable!
