As the campus grounds and the gymnatorium were filled with proud families and faculty members that were ready to send off another cohort individuals, a sense of collective accomplishment transcended the individual achievements of the graduates. More than a celebration of years of perseverance and dedication, the graduation ceremony served as a stepping stone for the Capitolians to continue their pursuit of their own success beyond the institution as Total Persons armored by the institution's core values—Character, Care, Competence, Commitment and Culture. The commencement ceremony itself was a testament to tradition and modernity intertwined. The legacy of academic excellence, personal growth, and service to others were reaffirmed, ensuring that future generations of students would continue to uphold and build upon the rich traditions that define Capitol University as it is.
