SAA sends graduating seniors off in style
On April 8, the Student Alumni Association held ‘Senior Send Off,’ which according to SAA member and sophomore Anna Elzer, was a day of fun for seniors and undergraduate students alike to celebrate the seniors hard work and success at UIndy.
“Last year it was just for seniors,” said Myla Edmond, assistant director of alumni relations. “And we got quite a few inquires from other people, so we opened the day up to undergrads.”
A 45-foot inflatable rock mountain, a bungee trampoline and human bowling were just a few of the activities offered.
Seniors had mock-tails in the President’s Dining Room while waiting in line for their cap and gowns, sharing memories of the past four years that have gone by.
Senior Porsche Jackson reminisced with her friends about her time during their freshmen welcome week.
“I met a lot of people that I still hang with. We had a rock climbing wall and a foam party.” Jackson said. “At the end of the party we all jumped into the canal, and because of that we smelled for days.”
Senior Kelli Whitenack shared her experience of dressing up to go see the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” with the girls on her floor freshmen year. The shared memory made her smile until she spoke about what she would miss.
“[I will miss] living in the dorms and just being able to see your friends by going three doors down,” Whitenack said.
The traditional senior send off with black cap and gowns will be held on May 1 in Ransburg Auditorium.
