Future is bright for Spider grads

May 18, 2017

Spider Pride

It’s been less than two weeks since we celebrated our newest alumni at Richmond, but it’s always a great time to wax nostalgic and remember the incredible achievements of our students.

The Class of 2017 made their final walk across campus Sun., May 7, and now, they get to head out into the world, taking all they have learned and experienced ‘mid the pines and rolling hills of campus.

Some are heading to medical school, some will teach. We’ve got two Fulbright winners going abroad to teach English. Law school or jobs at the country’s top companies are all part of the next steps for our students and their bold plans.

Whether starting grad school or beginning jobs in the U.S. or abroad, Spiders are well-prepared to lead lives of purpose and make an impact on the world.

Check out the video for scenes from Commencement and enjoy as a handful of our newest alumni describe their post-graduation plans.

It’ll brighten your day and make you a little more hopeful about tomorrow.
