With food, free swag and a celebration, the Katz School of Business marked its annual awards ceremony with the school’s annual Senior Celebration, bringing together current students, soon to be graduates, and faculty and staff for a special send-off event. More than 60 students participated in the event held April 22.
"We decided to tie our award ceremony to our senior celebration to build connections between students and the faculty and staff of the Katz School," said Dean Liz Cartier "This event helps build relationships as seniors are moving on their journey to their next point in life."
FLC President Heather Shotton offered words of encouragement to the graduating class: "We are so proud of you, and I'm looking forward to celebrating you. Finish strong. You're almost there."
