Our first group of seniors graduated in 2004. Since then we have sent four more senior classes out into the world. They continue to get into colleges and universities around the state, nation, and world. The Avalon Senior Class of 2004 is now moving out of college and into the world of work! We are excited to hear their stories as they report back about the things they are doing.
The students from the Avalon Class of 2008 were accepted to the following schools:
Bethel, Century, Concordia-St. Paul, Evergreen, Hamline, Hampshire, Illinois Institute of Technology, Inver Hills Community College, Iowa State, MCTC, Mills, Milwaukee School of Engineering, Northwestern, Smith, St. Kate’s, St. Scholastica, U of Illinois-Chicago, U of Michigan, U of M-Morris/Twin Cities, U of Puget Sound, U of Wisconsin-River Falls/Stout/Eau Claire, Willamette, Winona State, and Vanderbilt
Words from Avalon Alumni:
“It’s hard to believe that 4 years have already passed. I’ve successfully graduated from the University of St. Thomas this May with a B.A in Communications. Now I work at Target’s corporate office in downtown Minneapolis as a Communication Specialist. It has only been 2 months since I started full-time but I’ve already learned a great deal about the company and its business. Although I’m finding that work-life is completely different from student-life, I am excited about this new stage in life.
As I look back at my educational background, I cannot help but to emphasize the experiences I had at Avalon. The project-based learning has really taught me to organize my time and to prioritize my workload. Although I did not recognize at the time, I can now clearly identify the benefits and the rewards I’ve obtained from Avalon.” Aya, Avalon Class of 2004
