2023 Graduation Banquet Highlights
We celebrated our 2023 graduates under the stars in Kingsmen Park with family, friends, and faculty at our Annual Graduation Banquet. In attendance, to honor our graduates' accomplishments were President Lori Varlotta, Provost Leanne Neilson, VP Regina Biddings-Muro, Dr. Taiwo Ande, faculty, staff, advisory council members, and other guests.
The event was masterfully guided by Bryant Nguyen (Accounting '23), and featured student speakers - undergraduate Andrea Brimmer (Business Administration '23) and graduate Shawn Adams-Lanz (EMBA '23). This year, we also presented our School of Management Alumni Awards. Don Armstrong was awarded Distinguished Alumnus of the Year 2023, and Majd Abdullah Almaki (MPPA ‘20)was awarded Young Alumna of the Year 2023. Visit here for more information on these
awards.
Everyone enjoyed excellent entertainment, music, dancing, the magician, catering,
photo booths, exclusive merch, games, and more! Thank you to our corporate event sponsors
