We're still thinking about this year's 2026 CEHD Scholarship Reception! 🐴💛🤎

The Student Center was packed with scholarship recipients as they picked up their certificates, connected with faculty, and celebrated their hard-earned milestones surrounded by family and friends.

Highlights this year included jamming out to a live DJ, scoring awesome giveaways, a photo booth station to pose with a giant check, and of course the delicious food and root b**r float station! 🍦🎶
