What a beautiful day of gratitude and celebration! I am once again reminded that I truly have the most amazing job and work with the most incredible students in the world.
Today, I had the honor of bestowing beautiful pendleton stoles on three master’s degree graduates and three bachelor’s degree graduates, up on the stage at Gammage.
It is an honor to have worked closely with each of these students, as well as several others graduating this year.
In fact, it has been an honor to have worked with every single student, here at ASU, those NWIC, and those learning behind bars.
From real-world projects to emotional advising sessions, we have built sincere relationships and made tangible positive impacts, together. I have nothing but love for these incredible people whose power, humor, resolve, and friendship ignite an ever-growing bright spot in my life, and in my heart. Thank you 🙏 💜
