Alumni and Friends,
Congratulations to the Class of 2026, and welcome to the Alumni Association! Members of the Class of 2026 were invited to celebrate their final days as Winthrop students with Senior Week, May 4-7. A variety of events were hosted to honor their accomplishments, commemorate their time at Winthrop and aid in the transition from student to alumnus. To see the events hosted, visit the Senior Week page.
Eighty-four Legacy students graduated on May 9!
