Four years ago, the Class of 2022 arrived on campus and joined a community that — true to the ³Ô¹ÏÍø 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 ³Ô¹ÏÍø. 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. 

In this message to the Class of 2022, several faculty and staff members come together to gift a few final words to these exceptional graduates.
