Dear Students and Families:
We are less than 30 days away from the last day of the semester, and for our graduating students, Commencement is only 31 days away. As we look to the end of the semester, I want to recognize your commitment to keeping yourselves and our community safe. You demonstrated resilience and shared responsibility as we continued to navigate public health changes this year. There is much to celebrate, and you should be proud.
With that, there will be activities to commemorate all that you have accomplished and celebrate the end of the semester, from the Orange After Dark Spring Formal, to University Union’s 60th Birthday Bash and Block Party, to end-of-year award ceremonies. I want to remind you to keep your shared commitment to the community and safety at the forefront the next few weeks. As you participate in activities and celebrations, please continue to be a good neighbor, exercise good judgment, look out for one another, and keep yourself and one another safe.
Below I have outlined some of the activities happening this weekend. I encourage you to continue participating in activities, programs and events extending into the week as well, including the inaugural Disability Pride Week. Continue to visit the ’Cuse Activities portal, the Wellness Portal, Hendricks Chapel website and the University Events Calendar for complete event listings.
