Almost two years of being a pandemic student, yet you thrived, worked on amazing projects, worked with the BIDEN campaign, worked a full time job and learned to cook some pretty bomb meals. Couldn't be prouder of you and if this is what you were able to accomplish IN COLLEGE, the world ain't ready for the post-college Maddy K Bean. Love ya bubs!

Well done Class of 2021! What a year it has been. Not the Senior year you were anticipating but a year where you have overcome, achieved and succeeded. So, stand tall, be proud and go out and make a difference not only in your life but that of others.
