Congratulations to the Mayborn School of Journalism Class of 2026! You are ready to inform, challenge, and inspire the world.

Last week, we gathered to celebrate the journalists, storytellers, and truth-seekers who walked across our stage. Each cap and gown represents years of curiosity, craft, and dedication, and a future full of bylines yet to be written.

The world needs voices like yours, voices that ask hard questions, amplify unheard stories, and hold power to account. Go tell them.

A heartfelt thank you to our faculty, families, and everyone who supported this extraordinary class along the way. 💚
