Congratulations to our Class of 2026, who celebrated this watershed moment at Radio City Music Hall today. 🎓💜
Dean Jack H. Knott said it best: this isn't a conclusion. It's a continuation. We can't wait to see where your curiosity, scholarship, and drive take you next.
The lights are set. The stage is ready. The seats are waiting.
Before the cheers, the tassel turns, and the long hugs—there’s this quiet moment. The calm before the celebration.
Soon, Radio City Music Hall will be filled with your stories, your families, your joy.
We can’t wait to welcome you to the stage. 💜
