A look back at Tech’s “best day of the year”

Why is commencement day Indiana Tech’s best day of the year?

Every year, we at Indiana Tech get to witness one of the most impactful life events one can experience and share in the triumphant, one-of-a-kind of celebration that goes along with it. It is a fitting way to end a long school year, and the joy it brings never gets old.
