Lux et Lex Walk Celebrates Class of 2025
Members of Franklin & Marshall’s Class of 2025 took time to reflect on their college journey during the Lux et Lex walk Friday, May 9.
The graduating class first passed under the Lux et Lex Arch over Klauder-Appel Walkway in 2021, when they arrived as first-year students. Friday, the seniors marked the end of their time on campus by passing under the arch in the opposite direction.
College faculty and staff lined walkways around campus to celebrate the soon-to-be graduates. Commencement for the Class of 2025 will be held Saturday, May 10, at 10 a.m. and broadcast live on the Commencement website.
