Leah Smith, One of Nearly 300 Graduates
At Commencement, Coe College President David Hayes ’93 lauded the class for its perseverance.
“You were resilient and thrived, which allowed the academic and campus experience at Coe to endure with and for you. You will carry the habits of mind and values developed in this place as individuals and for the rest of your lives. But because of who you are and how you handled what was thrown at you, you’ll travel from here with a diploma in hand with energy, passion, grace, awareness, and courage, and it is my hope and gratitude for all the Coe is,” Hayes said.
