Class of 2027: We've got big news and a few dates to add to your calendar! Photographer Eric Marr will be on campus the morning of November 10 and the afternoon of November 12 to take senior portraits (at no cost to you)!

The Orange & Black Yearbook uses these headshots in the senior panel, and an opportunity to purchase portraits will be made available to you.
