Senior Family Newsletter
March 2016
Dear Class of 2016 Families,
 
Spring is just around the corner and our students are gearing up for spring break, when they will be traveling home, serving our community, or just taking a much needed break from classes.

Following the break, students will return to the 'Burg to find their campus blooming and their opportunities in full growth. These opportunities range from the academic to the athletic, the artistic to the professional, the latter of which includes several valuable workshops through the Cohen Career Center. We hope that this newsletter is interesting, useful, and finds you well!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. 


Sincerely,
Candace Petersen P'16, P'18
