Â鶹¹ÙÍø

This year, Â鶹¹ÙÍø’s Providence Campus introduced a new tradition: Senior Send-Off. Developed by Alumni Relations, this program is a new way to celebrate graduating seniors while simultaneously welcoming them into the Â鶹¹ÙÍø Alumni family.

Postponed by weather from its intended date to cap off Founders Week, the inaugural Senior Send-Off did not suffer from a move to the Harborside Campus on May 13.

Graduates were welcomed to the Wildcat Center student lounge with a Class of 2019 t-shirt and an official Â鶹¹ÙÍø Alumni pin. They enjoyed a speaking program before processing downstairs to the gym, which was decked out for the Â鶹¹ÙÍø community of alumni, faculty, staff, students from all class years, and, of course, Wildcat Willie.

Food, games, balloons, music and glow-in-the-dark fun followed.

This new annual tradition will serve as another opportunity for the Â鶹¹ÙÍø community to honor graduating students for many years to come.

Earlier this year, Â鶹¹ÙÍø began a new tradition for the incoming class, Ignite the Night; Senior Send-Off will serve as each graduating class’ capstone event to conclude Founders Week.
