Three Cheers for the Class of 2014

Three Cheers for the Class of 2014

With commencement on  June 16, it's an exhilarating time for members of the Lundquist College of Business class of 2014.

Although many graduates have jobs already waiting for them, others will head on to new academic adventures or have started on the paths that will lead them to their dream careers.

Though life is too full of surprises to predict exactly where all these grads will end up, one thing is for certain: They leave the Lillis Business Complex with skills and preparation that will take them further than they can even imagine.

As they move forward with their lives, these 2014 graduates will bring with them the knowledge they've gained from their coursework and experiential learning opportunities, along with a strong network.

But trading days of study for career pursuits doesn't mean saying goodbye to the college they've come to love. Thanks to the strength of the University of Oregon alumni network, earning a Lundquist College diploma gains graduates entrée to a lifelong fellowship—the worldwide network of dedicated Ducks.

Thank you, class of 2014, for having been a vital part of the Lundquist College community. We honor you for everything you've achieved, and we celebrate you as you go forth to build accomplished careers and lives that are filled with meaning.
