During a sunny morning ceremony in the Plaza Mayor Courtyard, nearly 300 Stetson Law students officially became Stetson Law alumni.

Beginning and ending with the sound of bagpipes heralding the processional, the event invited grads to reflect on their time at Stetson Law, thank the loved ones who supported them, and look ahead to the next leg of their professional and personal journeys.

“I know that when you entered Stetson, when you decided to study law, you came here to discover what is best about the College of Law and what is best about you,” said Steven Alexander, Chair of the Stetson University Board of Trustees. “For some of you it was to find out if you had what it takes to become a lawyer. Well, look at you now… And then look around you at the faculty…family and friends with you today, because nobody gets to take this journey alone, and that is what makes Stetson special: faculty and staff that care about you and your success.”
