Bidding farewell to our valedictorians at Valete 2020

What a grand celebration was had at the National Arboretum in October to farewell our 2020 valedictorians. Special mention to Katchmirr Russell for delivering a moving Acknowledgment of Country, to Khalil Kamali for his poignant Grace, and to BRA President Ben Jefferson for his rendition of Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive as his leaving song—it absolutely brought the house down!

See some of the special evening photos from the event below.
