Back into the Skies

Moving forward a few years, a student's college career has come to a close. They have taken in all there is to see here at Clemson and have become proud, successful Tigers. It is now time for them to enter the real world, and leave Clemson behind for now. This picture represents a graduating Clemson student in a few ways. First, the picture is taken in front of Perimeter road on the outskirts of campus. The airplane points towards Perimeter road, displaying the plane's flight from Clemson into the outside world. The plane is also at a higher point of the hill and is traveling downward towards flatter ground. This symbolizes the height at which the student has risen from freshman to senior, within the collegiate ranks. However, the student now must take off into the working world and begin once again at the bottom of the ladder. Although this will be a tough task, Clemson has prepared them for the journey.
