We are incredibly thrilled to announce the graduation of eleven Blavin Scholars this spring. Years of hard work, persistence, and determination have paid off for these amazing young adults and we couldn’t be more proud of and inspired by them. These individuals — six from University of Michigan and five from Northern Arizona University — bring our total number of graduates to 47 since the inception of the Blavin Scholars program. Please join us in celebrating our grads. Congratulations to each and everyone one of them, to their spirit, and to their strength. And, thank you to those have worked along side them in support of efforts and their dreams — there are many of you and we are so grateful.
And, here they are — our Class of 2018…!
