How do you know your graduating student nominee?
Grandson
Tell us why they deserve to be nominated!
He graduated 6 months early to save on student loan debts.
He was selected by faculty to be a member of the PHI BETA KAPPA scholastic society.
What's one thing you want everyone to know about your graduating student nominee?
He is the class year of students that suffered the most during Covid. He had no prom, only a drive thru graduation and spent his first year inside a dorm with zoom classes. He never complained but kept his focus of graduating near the top of his class.
Congratulations on your achievements, and all of our best wishes to you in the future, McKael!
