May 30: The Pamplin Pulse
2025 Pamplin graduates charged to continue leading and learning
On May 15, 2025, the Pamplin College of Business welcomed more than 1,400 new alumni as they were cheered across the stage during Commencement in Lane Stadium.
“Your journey through Pamplin has been shaped not only by what you learned in the classroom but by what you experienced beyond it—through student organizations, study abroad programs, professional workshops, internships, and other co-curricular opportunities,” said Saonee Sarker, dean of the Pamplin College of Business. “You’ve developed a strong foundation in business and sharpened your problem-solving skills by applying them in real-world settings.”
