Dear Luther College Class of '26,
Yesterday was your turn,
To celebrate with friends & family all that you had learned.
You squeezed as much as you could into the last 4 years.
We're honored you chose to do your learning here.
It's the town we've called home, since when we both walked the stage.
(Yet it feels like just yesterday that we were your age.🤷♀️)
As you prepared for Commencement we knew it'd be bittersweet,
So we tried to soften the blow, and sent you off with a Sugar Bowl treat.
We know it wasn't much, but we wanted you to know,
You'll always be welcome here. Decorah will always be your home.
We hope that you'll be back, but since nobody knows when,
For now it's simply "See you later!" until we see you again.
When you need a reminder of how amazing you are,
Take a road trip our way. You won't have to look far.
For even our cans remind you Decorah can't be beat.
We will be ready to "Cheer you on again, when the road leads you back to (Sugar Bowl &) Mill Street."❤️
Congratulations to each and every one of you. We are honored to welcome you to the alumni club.
💙Brittany ('10) & Nathan ('09)
