Cairns are stone markers built by those who’ve been down a path to mark the way for those who will follow. For centuries, people in cultures around the world have used cairns to guide their journeys across challenging landscapes and left stones to commemorate historic sites.

Having celebrated its 35th anniversary and launched this inaugural issue, Walden University is, in a humble way, leaving a stone to commemorate our journey, your journey, and the journey of graduates to come.
