Congratulations, Class of 2026

You did it, Marlins. Now go make waves.

The Tassel Was Worth the Hassle

On May 16, 2026, the Batten University Class of 2026 crossed the dais in TowneBank Arena and officially became Marlin alumni. From late-night study sessions to early-morning breakthroughs, every moment led to this one.

To our graduates — you came here with dreams and you're leaving with degrees, lifelong friendships, and a community that will always have your back. No matter where life takes you, you'll always have a home on Wesleyan Drive.

Congratulations, Marlins. Now go make the world a little better.
