“I want to finish my degree so I can finally…”

Graduating from college is an admirable achievement that takes years of hard work and dedication. But earning a degree is only the first of many steps on the pathway to success. With a degree, a multitude of professional and personal possibilities emerge. Your college education allows you to pursue those possibilities with energy, optimism and insight.

Earning your degree should be celebrated, but so should your decision to pursue excellence after graduating. To find out what amazing things Excelsior students had their eyes on after obtaining their degrees, we used our #FillInTheBlankFriday series to ask what they would do when they graduated.
