Well, we’ve finally made it.

We've come to the end of our fourth year of tagging along with our Class students.

Of the students profiled in this issue, Alessandra completed her course work an entire semester before graduation; Will, Aaliya, and Lorenzo have graduated; and Adaba is spending another year at Rice. Their undergraduate stories have been as varied and unique as the individual students—and so will be their futures. But one experience connects them all, and that’s being educated at Rice University. In this final installment of Class, we hear about what these five are looking forward to in their personal lives and careers as they approach the end of their fourth year at Rice, and we learn about their perspectives and how Rice has helped them on their paths.
