Best Foot Blog March 2026

Hey friends,

BESTFOOT here! 🐾

Wow! The semester is almost halfway over — I can’t believe it! It feels like we just kicked things off, and now we’re already seeing those warmer, sunny days around campus. I know a lot of you are probably ready to trade the classroom for some fresh air and start counting down to summer.

I’m enjoying seeing everyone around campus while the weather gets nicer, because before we know it… summer will be here. And I have to admit, I’m going to miss seeing everyone — especially those of you who are graduating this May!

Watching students reach the finish line is one of my favorite things all year. I’ll be the one cheering extra loud when you cross the stage. 🎓

📅 A Few Important Dates to Remember

☀️ Spring Break Is Coming!

Spring Break: March 29 – April 5

No classes! Time to relax, recharge, and maybe enjoy some sunshine. Even Sasquatches need a break sometimes.

🎓 Graduation Is Getting Close!

One of the most exciting times of the year is just around the corner. Spring Commencement will take place May 7th, 8th, and 9th, and I can’t wait to celebrate all of our graduates.

If you are planning to apply for graduation, don’t forget that you’ll need to meet with an advisor to complete your graduation checkout. They’ll help make sure everything is on track so you can walk across that stage without any surprises.

Trust me — that moment when you hear your name called is worth every late night and early morning you’ve put in this semester.

🐾 From BESTFOOT

The middle of the semester can feel busy, but keep pushing forward. Every class you attend and every assignment you finish brings you one step closer to your goals.

And if you happen to see some oversized footprints in the hallway, don’t worry — that’s just me stopping by to make sure everyone is staying on track.

Keep going, keep smiling, and keep putting your BESTFOOT forward.

Big steps,
BESTFOOT 🐾
