These photos capture one of my favorite moments from commencement: having the opportunity to medal our graduating Summit Scholars.

These students have spent the last four years growing as leaders, scholars, mentors, and community-minded individuals. It has been a privilege to watch them develop their voices, support one another, and leave their mark on the Chapman and Doermer Distinguished Scholars Programs.

And I cannot say this enough — congratulations. I am so proud of all you have accomplished, and I cannot wait to see where your next chapter takes you. Thank you for the way you have represented this program and for the example you have set for the scholars coming behind you.

Go Dons!

Congratulations to our Chapman and Doermer juniors on completing the initial presentations for their Summit Scholars Capstone projects!

This first presentation is an important step in the capstone process, giving scholars the opportunity to share their project ideas, receive feedback, and begin shaping the work they will continue over the next year.

We are so proud of the thought, care, and purpose they are bringing to their projects, and we look forward to seeing how each one develops before their final presentations next spring.

A special thank you to the project mentors and Faculty Fellows who are guiding and supporting our scholars throughout this process. Your time, encouragement, feedback, and expertise play an important role in helping students strengthen their ideas, connect their work to the community, and grow through the capstone experience.

Congratulations, juniors — this is just the beginning!
