Today the Class of 2022 officially graduated!! I am SO PROUD of each and every one of them I had in my classes, and it is such a talented, compassionate group who will do wonderful things in their futures!! While I'll miss them tremendously, I am also thrilled they have the chance to go into the world on their own terms and figure out what they want to do with their education and careers. All my best wishes to them, always!!
