Graduation caps and goodbyes.
As the spring semester comes to a close, seniors are suiting up for their week. Senior Week is a benchmark in the college career for those graduating to embrace the end of the college years and welcome the future with tears, fears and memories that will last a lifetime.
Senior Week is the "official sendoff" from Sacred Heart. The numerous events that culminate into the infamous and illustrious Senior Week are a way to applaud those who have successfully met the requirements to graduate. With four years of a "higher education" under their belt, seniors are anticipating and dreading the last "hurrah."
"Senior Week has become quite a tradition on campus," said Tom Wuestkamp, director of Student Activities. "It is a way for each graduating class to say goodbye to each other before entering the 'real world.' [Graduating students] go to a number of different events and many will stay in Seton Hall one last time to reminisce about the days when they first came to Sacred Heart."
The activities that are included in Senior Week consist of six events, including graduation. According to Amy Nardone, senior, Class of 2006 President, Bay Shore, N.Y., the theme for Senior Week this week is "Viva Las Vegas." Nardone is looking forward to some thrilling changes in events within Senior Week.
"We are going to the casino this year which should be really fun considering no one has gone there during this special week in years past," said Nardone. "We are having our champagne brunch off campus, too. It is usually held in the Mahogany Room, but we really wanted to step it up this year."
"Every Senior Week is different. We learn from what years past have done that worked and what didn't work and try to make it the best experience for everyone."
During Senior Week, seniors have the choice to stay in Seton Hall, after registration on May 10.
"You are able to stay all together for the last few days of college," says Nardone. "It's kind of like bringing it back to where you started from. You pretty much sleep and get ready and it gives you the ability to hang out and be around all of your friends, especially since so many seniors live in different housing."
