To the Class of 2026: You came to CNU from different places, with unique stories, passions, and dreams, but for a few unforgettable years, this campus was home. You are athletes, artists, leaders, performers, researchers, creators, and friends. You found your favorite study spots, your go-to Commons order (or your loyalty to Regs), your mentors, and your people. You spent sunny afternoons on the Great Lawn, made memories and traditions big and small, and discovered who you are meant to become. You laughed here, learned here, changed here. And through it all, you became part of something bigger than yourselves, a community that will always connect you to this place and to one another. No matter where life takes you next, you will always be Captains. Thank you for leaving your mark on CNU. 💙
