There are so many new students that we get to welcome in the fall! Here`s just a few of our incoming Beacons! 💙💛
Future Beacons! Get to know a few of your fellow classmates through our @bushnelladmissions account, where we post new student intros and would love to feature even more. DM the @bushnelladmissions account with a few favorite photos of yourself and a quick bio with your name, hometown, intended major, and other fun facts about you!
Our grads understood the Gradbot assignment 🤝🎓
As a fun way to shake off some nerves and celebrate the event, we filmed some slo-mo moments of our graduating Beacons in their caps and gowns before Commencement!
The Gradbot videos and candid photos of Commencement can be found on our university Pixieset! Check the link in our bio for our gallery!
Wishing our Beacons a very restful and well-earned summer! ☀️
Spring Commencement is still fresh in our minds!
Flashback to just a few days ago when our graduating Beacons crossed the stage and took their first steps into their next chapter. #BeaconsForLife
