Students on the football field forming the shape of 2026

Commencement

Congratulations to the class of 2026! Just a short time ago, you were walking onto this campus, excited, a little nervous, but ready to take on this new world of college. This has been a place for exploration of all kinds, where ‘What can I do?’ and ‘Where do I belong?’ were both answered with ‘Yes.’ Now that you are leaving Cullowhee, never forget you are always welcome here and don’t be afraid to meet new opportunities with a Yes.
