TAKING GRADUATION PHOTOS IN FRONT OF IVY-COVERED WALLS.

Follow for more reflections on our shared collegiate journey.

There's a ritual etched into the very fabric of our senior year, a quiet moment amidst the celebratory chaos: standing before those iconic ivy-clad walls. It’s more than just a backdrop; it’s a living testament to centuries of tradition, knowledge, and countless student stories. For those of us nearing graduation, it’s a physical manifestation of everything we've worked for, every late-night study session, every challenging debate, every triumph and setback. The camera clicks, capturing not just a smile, but the weight of an era concluding.

These walls, whispering tales of generations past, have witnessed it all. From the wild catharsis of a Primal Scream to the hushed mysteries of various secret societies, our institutions are steeped in rituals, some cherished, some perhaps endured. The ivy itself represents that enduring legacy, a living skin connecting us to a continuum of exceptional minds. As you pose, whether in cap and gown or simply with friends, you're not just taking a picture; you're becoming part of that visual history, adding your chapter to a story far older and larger than yourself.

For current students, savor this moment. It’s fleeting, yet profound, marking the threshold between student and alum. For those who have long since walked these hallowed grounds, perhaps these images evoke a powerful sense of nostalgia. Do you remember the feeling? The immense pride, the bittersweet goodbye, the anticipation of what lay ahead? The ivy-covered wall remains a potent symbol of a transformative journey, a shared heritage that binds us all, regardless of the years that have passed since our own graduation day. It's a reminder of where we started, and the incredible paths we've forged since.
