Nobility, Curiosity, and Uncertainty
|
Isa Fitzgibbons ’26 was the undergraduate student speaker at this weekend's Commencement Ceremony. Since coming to Puget Sound as a transfer student, she has distinguished herself as an exemplary scholar and artist, stepping into leadership roles both on and off the stage. In 2025, she studied abroad in London and was one of 15 students to receive the Agricola Scholar Award, which she used to develop Every Sound I’ve Ever Made, an original one-woman show weaving together writing from various women authors. She has also been deeply involved in the Chaplaincy, supporting diverse spiritual communities on campus.
Fitzgibbons' Commencement address is titled "Into Confusion: On Nobility, Curiosity, and Uncertainty in the Life of the Graduating College Student," which you can read now on our website.
