Do not betray her— no matter what the cost, no matter what the temptation.” Ninety-two Bachelor’s degrees were awarded to Anna Adams, Tyler Ament, Naomi Anderson, Cyrus Artz, Kristine Bennier, Charles Berninger, Teresa Boak, Shelagh Bolger, Olivia Bushey, Julia Callaghan, Catherine

An impressive 64% of the class graduated with honors. A few other interesting statistics: 8 of the graduates are married, 11 are engaged, and at least 3 have plans to enter the religious life. Also noteworthy: 38 of them have siblings who are Christendom alumni and 5 of them have parents who are alumni. Close to a third of them majored in Philosophy, while 22% chose History and Political Science. Equal numbers of students chose Theology and English (12%) while the Classics majors were the minority with around 5%. Approximately 15% of the graduates plan on attending graduate school and many others will be entering the workforce in such fields as education, business, management, sales, information technology, higher education administration, and politics.
