Â鶹ÒùÔº

This year, JWU’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ÒùÔºAlumni 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ÒùÔºAlumni pin. They enjoyed a speaking program before processing downstairs to the gym, which was decked out for the Â鶹ÒùÔºcommunity 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ÒùÔºcommunity to honor graduating students for many years to come.

Earlier this year, Â鶹ÒùÔºbegan 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.
