Congratulations, Class of 2019!

Class of 2018 Commencement

Welcome to life as a Redhawk alum! As president of the GOLD (Graduates of the Last Decade) Council, I am thrilled for the Class of 2019 to join GOLD. Your GOLD Council has been hard at work to make the recent grad experience better and more valuable for all of you.

It’s a season of incredible transition that is both exciting and daunting, and I want you to know that you have a massive network of alumni to support, guide, and advocate for you as you go forth to set this world on fire. The GOLD Council exists to foster and provide opportunities for connection amongst recent alumni, and we are here for you socially and professionally.  Involvement with the GOLD Council has been a deeply rewarding way for me to stay involved in a community I love so much, and give back to the university that has impacted my life in immeasurable ways.

As the textbooks close and the post-grad life is now before you, we would love for you kick off your alumni experience with the Going GOLD celebration TONIGHT and the GOLD Summer Party in August. Join us for the Redhawk Ring-In during Summer in Seattle where we get to greet members of the Class of 2023.

Be sure to activate your SU Alumni Connect profile and connect with us there, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up to date on upcoming events and initiatives.

Congratulations on all of your accomplishments; graduation is no small feat. And cheers to a summer free of homework!
