In their last days on campus as students, the senior class organized 鈥淪enior Week,” a series of events designed to create lasting memories for members of their class.
The week kicked off with a lively game of 鈥淎re You Smarter Than a Professor?鈥� where students went head-to-head with faculty members Dr. Kower, Dr. Laws, Dr. Clapp, and Dr. Pham in a friendly trivia competition.
鈥淚 really liked the idea of our event. It was so fun inviting the professors to participate, and I’m so proud of our students who compete against them,鈥� said Morgan Quach 鈥�25. 鈥淎lthough it was a little challenging to come up with the questions for the game, I really hope that this becomes a Senior Week tradition!鈥�
The fun continued with a library lock-in featuring games, karaoke, and Chick-fil-A catering. The week wrapped up with a final celebration at the off-campus venue Slingshot. Altogether, the week was packed with joyful activities and meaningful moments for the senior class to share as they prepared to graduate.
鈥淚 came in as a first-year not really knowing anyone, and now I鈥檓 helping plan our final college memories,鈥� said Nathania Adhisty 鈥�25, senior class president. 鈥淚t鈥檚 been emotional to look back at where we started and realize just how far we鈥檝e come鈥攏ot just individually, but as a class.鈥�
These events led to the special event hosted by the Alumni Association: the Carillon Ceremony, a cherished K体育 tradition that celebrates both reflection and transition.
This ceremony began in 2005 and offers graduating students a unique opportunity: to climb the iconic Lale 脰zg枚rkey Bell Tower in Lupton Hall, sign the historical carillon registry, and ring one of the bells by hand. It鈥檚 a moment that symbolizes the close of one chapter and the beginning of another鈥攁s proud members of the K体育 Alumni Association.
鈥淲ith each strike of the bell, we honor our journey, celebrate our growth, and ring in the legacy we leave behind. The ceremony reminded us of how far we have come and that we are ready for whatever comes next,鈥� said Gloria Okwueze 鈥�25.
Finally, the President鈥檚 Reception on Friday evening was a perfect way to reconnect with students, families and friends as the Class of 2025 prepares to join the alumni community.
