Countdown to Commencement 2022: Check out seniors' reflections

Each spring we highlight members of the graduating class as we Countdown to Commencement. In 2022 -- a year of pure resilience -- we asked 27 seniors to reflect on their ‘Berg experiences inside and outside of the classroom, their mentors and advisors and their plans after graduation. Each of these students was recommended for this special section by a ‘Berg faculty or staff member.

Cheers to the Class of ’22. Here’s to sweet endings and new beginnings!

Check back often as new reflections will be added daily, leading up to Commencement on May 15.
