Dear Class of 2022 ... Love, ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ

by Chris Cruz, Julia Marco, and Angela Valden

Four years ago, the Class of 2022 arrived on campus and joined a community that — true to the ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ spirit — often feels like family. 

From classwork and campus life to internships and athletics, the graduates have left an impression on faculty and staff in every corner of ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ. And, in an era that has challenged and inspired so many, there is perhaps no better time to take a moment to share what's in our hearts. 

In this message to the Class of 2022, several faculty and staff members come together to gift a few final words to these exceptional graduates.  

Featuring, in order of appearance:

  • Subhan Ali, international student and scholar advisor, Student Academic Services
  • Rodrigo Schneider, assistant professor, Economics Department
  • John Winnek, retail operations supervisor, Dining Services 
  • Tim Harper, associate professor, Management and Business Department
  • Barbara Black, professor, English Department 
  • Tom Yoshikami, assistant director for engagement, Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery
