Spring Quarter quickly fading away

I find it hard to believe that it’s almost May! For our seniors, that means graduation is just over one month away. I love this time of the year. I think that springtime just brings out the happier side in most of us. After a long winter, we can begin to see the signs of summer creeping in. I tend to think of our graduation ceremony as the official beginning to the beautiful summer around here. It’s a perfect celebration honoring our students, this amazing college and the entire surrounding community. I know that seniors are beginning to pick graduation speakers and have already been making plans for families to fly-in from all around the country to witness this defining moment. I am one of the lucky ones because I get to be a witness to all of it. Personally, I feel more connected with this group of graduating seniors than any other class before. Some of my hardest working and exciting student ambassadors will be heading off for new adventures after next month. While I am definitely sad to lose them here, I know they will do amazing things in the world. The education and opportunities they have engaged in here at Evergreen have prepared them well, and for that, I couldn’t be more proud of their accomplishments.
