Congrats, Class of 2024! You’ve Done It!

A big congratulations to our newest alumni, our undergraduate and graduate students representing the Class of 2024, who walked across the stage at Climate Pledge Arena June 9 and officially began the next chapter of their life’s journey. 

Graduates were greeted with words of wisdom and advice by keynote speakers Dr. Sethuraman Panchanathan, director of the National Science Foundation who spoke at the undergraduate ceremony and Tod Leiweke, CEO of the Seattle Kraken. In addition to their roles as speakers, Dr. Panchanathan and Leiweke were joined by Virginia Cross in receiving Honorary Doctorates at the ceremonies.
