And just like that… we wrapped up an unforgettable year with the Class of 2025 at the Cord Ceremony.

This morning was filled with laughter, reflection, and so many proud moments. We celebrated the wins—big and small—shared stories of growth, and took time to recognize just how far these incredible students have come.

None of this would be possible without our amazing mentors and board members—your guidance and support mean the world to us, and to these future leaders.

We are beyond proud of the Class of 2025 and all they’ve accomplished. Here’s to new beginnings and lasting impact.
