Yesterday, we watched families cheer through tears, hugs linger a little longer and students cross the stage into their next chapter. 🎓🖤

There’s something special about campus the week and especially the day before commencement. ✨

The excitement. The reflection. Saying goodbye to some of our retiring faculty who made our University a wonderful place. The anticipation of what’s next.

Tomorrow we celebrate our graduates, but today we celebrate the entire Transy community — the students just beginning their journey, the families cheering them on, the alumni who paved the way, and the faculty and staff who help make this place feel like home. ❤️

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT: Dakota Capps
MAJOR: Accounting

Dakota came to Transy with one plan — and discovered a completely different passion along the way. 🔥

Originally a health & exercise science major, Dakota found his path in accounting through Transy’s hands-on liberal arts experience and supportive community.

When life got difficult, Transy showed up for him in meaningful ways. Coaches, mentors and faculty helped him grow not only as a student, but as a person.

That’s the Transy difference. 🎓
