Thank you to our five student volunteers who assisted at the Alumni Office’s Stage-Ready Station during this year’s Commencement! 🎓🐝

From 8:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., they helped members of the Class of 2026 look their best before crossing the stage, assisting graduates with everything from adjusting hoods to securing caps and making sure they were stage-ready for their big moment.

Our table quickly became a popular stop during the morning, and it truly took many helping hands to ensure our graduates looked their best for such an important milestone as we celebrated and welcomed the newest members of the AIC Alumni Class of 2026. 💛

Last night, we celebrated the graduating AIC Class of 2026 at the Senior Toast event in the Stinger Pub! 🐝🎓

We were excited to partner with the Center for Student Engagement and SGA President Ireland Stevenson ’26 in hosting this special celebration for our graduating seniors.

Our office was also proud to welcome our newest graduates into the Alumni Association by presenting them with their official alumni pins as they prepare to cross the Commencement stage this Saturday, May 9, 2026.

Once a Yellow Jacket, always part of the hive. 💛

Earlier this month, AIC Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) alums gathered on Anna Maria Island, Florida, reconnecting, reminiscing, and enjoying time together with their wives. Once a brotherhood, always a brotherhood.
