On Monday, Dec. 11, Paul College’s December graduates were invited to the Dean's Suite to toast to their time at Paul and celebrate the end of their undergraduate education and the beginning of their next chapter.  

The graduates were joined by Deans Lucy Gilson, Luciana Echazu, and Vicky Parker, along with faculty and staff. Together, they congratulated the graduates on their achievements and reminded them that they will always be Wildcats and have an open invitation to return to Paul. 

Before receiving their customary bottle of Peter T. Paul champagne, students went around the room and shared their post-graduation plans. Answers ranged from jobs in finance or accounting at companies like JP Morgan, John Hancock, and PWC, to traveling and consulting as a freelance videographer, while others plan to take a few months to figure out their next steps. 

The event was a terrific celebration of the students’ hard work, and an exciting opportunity to send off the class of December 2023 to their future endeavors.
