Senior Sayonara
11:30am-4:00pm, Southside Lounge/Great Lawn
We will be hosting a Senior Sayonara and it is a therapeutic event for all Seniors graduating in May 2024. Our senior sayonara offers seniors a chance to unwind after years of hard work and dedication while also being able to say a proper goodbye to their college experience. We put
together a collective of creative activities to help relieve stress such as painting and bracelet making, with two sessions of Yoga and also planting. Seniors will then have the opportunity to decorate and write in their brand new journals (which will be provided). Towards the end of our
event seniors can write things they want to let go of on plates and then either smash or keep these plates. (This event was planned by Madison Valdez, Jasmine DeLeon, Dana Former and the Arts Management class).
