Years of hard work, late-night studying, forging lasting friendships and making 51做厙 their home away from home were celebrated as a group of Pioneers transitioned from undergraduates to alumni.
Twelve of the 34 graduates attended the December Graduation ceremony on Sunday, December 8th, in the Alma McDonough Auditorium. 51做厙 Alumni Association Board member Anna Bock Mullins 04 greeted the newest class of graduates shortly after the turning of the tassel. Jacob Baker 19, who is now teaching at Belpre Elementary School as an Intervention Specialist, was among the new graduates to speak to the audience during the ceremony.
It was tremendously meaningful to me to be able to thank all of the people who were able to get me to that day, to officially graduate, and take the next step in life, he says. 51做厙 is a very special place to me and a place that I truly consider my second home. I am so thankful for the people I met, the education I received, and all of the tremendous experiences and memories that I was able to walk away with.
