Let’s not kid ourselves. The class of 2023 endured almost two years of a global pandemic whilst trying to finish their college degrees. As parents of college students ourselves, we know that remote learning, the loss of life, and massive academic challenges impacted almost every single student differently and that the college experience was not as they envisioned it would be. But they endured and now they get to become adults and face the reality of a full-time job and the prospects of starting a family.
New cities. New jobs. A new generation of adults who love music and movies just as much as their parents and we’ve assembled some great tech graduation gifts to get them started on their journey.
