Caytie Siegl of the SOU Cheer squad was one, of many, accounting grads with a job well before graduation

Accounting grad Dylan Paulk ran the marathon in the NAIA Outdoor Championships in less than 2 hours and 50 minutes which is twice as fast as I could have done it on a bike if the course was all downhill

I first met accounting grad Cassie Dexter at Raider Orientation and Registration (ROAR) several years ago. It’s fun to see students progress from beginning to graduation day.

My final exams have been given, many of the seniors are done, and this Saturday they will be walking at Raider Stadium. Meanwhile, my neighbor’s flamingos have been sporting their graduation attire for more than a week.
