Congratulations to our graduating AS AM majors and minors of 2021! We are so proud of each and every one of you. :)

Thank you to those of you who let me take a picture of you when you came to pick up your graduation cords (and sorry those of you who weren’t able to pick up a set before we ran out!).

Congratulations again to all our graduates and wishing you the absolute best!!
