Slip 'N Slide
- Our students had to fight through the stress of final exams before they could reach the joy of Commencement — and with temperatures reaching into the 80s on the day before the start of exams, a group of students decided the best way to combat that stress was to slide the day away on a makeshift Slip ‘N Slide!
- Before the big day of Commencement, we welcomed the Class of 2018 into the fold as soon to be alumni of the College with our annual Senior Toast. Check out the full gallery from our Senior Toast event here!
