Tradition: Class of 2018 Banner Unveiled
With less than 48 hours until their big day, the congratulations and well wishes have begun to flow for the soon-to-be graduates in the Class of 2018, who received their official marching orders this morning.
As part of the long-standing commencement rehearsal tradition, seniors Katie Mullins and Abbey McKee presented the class’s banner to President Rob Huntington.
The class’s banner reads “Our Mountains Are Waiting.” The banner will hang inside the Campus Center for one year, and then it will be archived with all past class banners.
On each milestone reunion –five-year, 10-year, and continuing every five until the last member of the class passes away – the banner is brought back out for each reunion celebration.
Banners representing the 32 classes with the oldest living alumni are proudly hung from the rafters in Wickham Great Hall.
