Fall 2018 Commencement

"Do not aspire to medicority and normalcy. It doesn't become you, and it's not in your nature," Drew Voss '18 told his 48 fellow graduates during his remarks at the Fall 2018 Commencement ceremony, held December 15 in the Greenhoe Theater, Fine Arts Building.  

Voss was among the 15 Landmark College graduates earning their bachelor's, a record for the College since it began offering 4-year degrees. That won't stand long, however, with roughly half the students who received an associate degree that day already committed to returning for a baccalaureate program.

The ceremony included special acknowledgement of retiring faculty member Abigail Littlefield (right), and remembrances of classmate Alexandra Dilger and trustee Nan Strauch.
