Fireside Chat: Graduation and Transition

Graduation marks an exciting milestone—but it can also bring up complex and sometimes unexpected emotions. This discussion is designed for juniors and seniors who are beginning to think seriously about life after college and what it means to leave a community that has shaped them during some of their most formative years. Together, with Junior and Senior Class Deans and Wellness Program Director and Coordinator we’ll explore the mix of anticipation, uncertainty, pride, grief, and hope that often accompanies this transition. Participants will be invited to reflect on their relationships, routines, identities, and sense of belonging, and to consider how these experiences might carry forward into what comes next. This will be a supportive, reflective space for sharing thoughts, listening to others, and naming feelings that can be hard to articulate as graduation approaches.
