Eryn Clipp shares the good news of her match while Rebecca Habenicht looks on. After students like Alice Wong learn their destinations, they can use a pin to mark their match on the US map. It's a tradition for students to drop a dollar in a bowl as they arrive. The collection goes to the student whose name is called last. This year, that student was Mychal Anderson Thomas.
