From Plainview to Wichita Falls, it was a full day of celebrating the next generation of alumni!

After hosting a special luncheon for our Plainview graduates, Jeffrey Vera, Director of Alumni Relations, traveled to Wichita Falls to continue the celebration with the men and women who will be walking the stage tomorrow. It’s always exciting to welcome these graduates into the alumni family and remind them that wherever life leads next, they will always have a community supporting and cheering them on.

A special thank you to the WBU-WF staff and faculty for joining in the celebration and for continuing to invest in the lives of these students throughout their journey. Your encouragement and support make a lasting impact.

Congratulations, graduates — your next chapter is just beginning!
