Congratulations to our newest class of college graduates! Your accomplishments will open up fresh opportunities with a renewed self-confidence that comes from keeping your academic commitments. By receiving your degree, you will join the ranks of alumni such as Tiffany Jacobs, who walked across the stage in 2016 to accept a diploma for her MBA. 

"I worked hard, and I earned it. Period," she said. “Thankfully, I had a great support system of family and friends who believed and encouraged me to keep going.”

You will now begin to put your education to good use.  Crucial insights and rigorous self-discipline will allow you to pursue exciting careers, gain rare hands-on experience, and share your knowledge and skills with your community.
 
“I am so glad that I have had this experience, and I cannot wait to celebrate my graduation!” said Cheli Vasquez, who recently completed her BA in Education studies
