Four years ago, the Class of 2022 arrived on campus and joined a community that — true to the Â鶹ŮÀÉ spirit — 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 Â鶹ŮÀÉ. 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.
