Class of 2026 - Donut forget us! 🍩💚
We had the best time celebrating the senior class at the Yearbook Signing Party before graduation practice! The Alumni Office, along with Alumni Board members, Leah MacDougal Jones ‘98, Arti Allam Thangudu ’03, and Kaley Davis Urbanczyk ‘01 (and a few of their Dragons!), helped pass out donuts as a small reminder - once a Dragon, always a Dragon.
We’re so proud of this class and can’t wait to officially welcome them into the Alumni Association tomorrow! 🎓🐉 🐉
