The Office of Alumni Relations hosted the GWU Grad Finale this past Tuesday in Fireside Lounge. It was an event for this year’s graduates to come and get prepared for graduation and all that comes with it. There were different booths set up from various campus organizations like Career Services, Alumini Relations, Campus Shop, Goal Admissions (Bachelor’s and Masters Programs) and the Senior Class Booth. Jostens was also there taking orders for class rings, graduation announcements and nursing pins.
Even though I’m not technically a senior, I am graduating from Nursing School, so I’m considered a graduate. I ordered my nursing pin while I was there and visited all of the tables, getting information and signing up for things. At the Senior Class Booth, there was a huge banner that graduates could sign which will be hung up at Graduation. The Senior Class President was also there getting the word out about the Senior Class gift. The gift will be a bronze bulldog statue, which will be put in the brick circle outside of the LYCC (basketball stadium) on the parking lot side. Seniors who donate $20 or more will get their name engraved on the back of the bulldog’s 4ft tall stone stand. I thought it was a great idea, and a really cool way to leave your mark on the GWU campus. I definitely plan on making a donation!
After walking through all the booths, you could register to win one of the many prizes they were raffling away. I put my information in, but didn’t expect to actually get anything. But later that day I got a call saying I had won a $25 gift card from Old Navy!! I was so surprised, because I normally don’t win raffle items. I guess now I have an excuse to go shopping…..yay! All in all the Grad finale was a great event, and something that I hope they continue to offer for graduating GWU Seniors.
