New Year Message: Diplomats Shine Brighter
Diplomats Shine Brighter
Video by Andrew Bilindabagabo
Diplomats shine brighter.
In their homes, in their communities & in the world.
The moment you stepped on campus, something extraordinary happened.
You became part of all F&M is and will be.
You brought your intellect, your creativity & your character.
As we step into another year,
may you continue to carry that influence forward—
inspiring others and creating transformative ripples
that reach far and wide.
That’s the Diplomat way.
Happy New Year!
