What has the incoming class already accomplished?

Answer

The class of 2028 came in with huge talents, accomplishments, and already impressive resumes. Eight were valedictorians, and four were salutatorians of their high school class. One founded a community lacrosse club team that raised nearly $2,200 for cancer research. One spent six months teaching children's music in Greece. One interned at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and was on a team that won an award at a national film festival. Way to go, Bishops!
