Wow, Alex. I still remember when you fell in love with Penn. Two hours into our visit, you said, “I love it here. I’m coming here!” I remember feeling nervous, knowing how hard it is to get in. And then you did it. Not only did you get there, but you also thrived and excelled! We’re so happy to see you complete this journey. 

It’s also bittersweet. I love Penn too; as an alum myself, I always loved visiting you on campus and seeing how the place had evolved. I will miss our Penn visits, but I look forward to visiting you wherever you are as you begin your journey. You’re an inspiration, and we are all so proud of you, Alex! Time to celebrate!
