Spring commonly represents new beginnings, and as spring slowly warms this beautiful campus, we know it means that we must wave goodbye to our senior English students very soon.
Despite this bittersweet realization, we’re excited to see how these students choose to begin new chapters of their lives!
If you are a senior English or H&SS major in general, follow us. We want to stay updated on all the great things you do in the coming years!
