Calling all graduating students: How would you sum up your VCU experience?
It’s the end of the spring semester, and commencement is around the corner. For our soon-to-be-alums, it’s the end of an era – and we want to hear their thoughts and reflections on their time at VCU.
If you are graduating this month, what is one word that sums up your VCU experience? Send that word, along with a photo of yourself that encapsulates your time at VCU, and a few sentences (150 words or less) explaining why you chose that word to VCU News at vcunews@vcu.edu with the subject line “my time at VCU” by May 7. Please also let us know the degree you are earning. We’ll select a handful to share in a VCU News story and on VCU socials. Wishing all our grads a hearty congratulations!
