For the graduating seniors who will walk down the aisle this Saturday, Commencement is the culmination and celebration of four to five years of hard work and dedication and the beginning of the next chapter of their lives. They’ve worked hard and earned the accolades they will receive from friends and family. To mark the occasion, the Class of 2013 will present the first ever class gift to the College as a big thank you and a remembrance of this year’s graduating class.
