Who are you
beyond your
achievements?

Every defining moment is revealed in fragments.
Our day-to-day lives, the moments, and the small
wins are the bits and pieces that shape who we are today
and who we can be tomorrow.

Beyond the hustle and grind, it forms an image of a greater
persona. A persona built by our own unique experiences.
We learn to see who we are beyond our comfort zones and
typical workspaces. We learn to be the change we need
in our lives.

As you graduate, AD ASTRA 2021 - 2022: FRAGMENT urges
you to take a step back before the next chapter of your life
begins. Vacate your cubicle, stamp out the time card, and
acknowledge the things that make us whole.
