To my graduated friends,

You have inspired me this year. I have no words for how wonderful it was to work with you, learn from you, and become friends with you. I know I’ve given you all hugs and promises to keep in touch already, but my heart is still close to bursting with both sadness and joy.

I will miss your presence on campus. I will miss eating lunch with you, taking classes with you, exploring the city with you… just hearing your experiences at Barnard and what you hope to accomplish in the future makes me so honored to be able to call you my friends and my mentors.

Good luck. I can only hope to fill half the shoes you’ve left in my next three years on this beautiful campus.
