Seniors also had the opportunity to participate in the Philanthropy Cord initiative by making a $20.26 gift in honor of their class year. In doing so, they received an orange and black cord to wear at commencement, a visible reminder of their commitment to giving back.
Philanthropy Cords will remain available for purchase until May 8. Class of 2026 graduates can purchase their own for $20.26 and pick it up at the Cornelia Campbell Alumni House before main campus commencement ceremonies on Saturday, May 9.
