Words of wisdom from '96 alum Bradford Cobb, music entertainment manager:

“It can be daunting to think that you don’t know what’s next or where you’ll end up. You have to grab the moment. This is an opportunity to set yourself on the right path by taking some smart chances. You’re prepared. It’s hard to believe it sometimes, but you’re the lucky ones: you get to graduate from Ole Miss and you have the world at your fingertips.”

Student contributors: Emmaline Wolfe, Lily Green and Addison Flasck
