Senior Week

Dear Parents and Families of the Class of 2008:

The Senior Week '08 Committee cordially invites you to join the Class of 2008 in celebrating their graduation. Senior Week is an opportunity for graduating seniors to enjoy a variety of activities with their friends and classmates.

    Senior Week Schedule » (PDF)

The Senior Week '08 Committee is committed to continuing two traditional events:

• A Mississippi River Cruise for graduates.
• The Senior Class '08 Party for graduates, their families and friends. The Senior Class '08 Party will be held on Saturday, May 17, 2008 from 8:00 p.m. until midnight in the Ruth Stricker Dayton Campus Center, located on the campus of Macalester College. Typically, desserts, live music, and a cash bar are all offered at this party.

We invite you to make a reservation for the Senior Class '08 Party with your reservations for other commencement activities. Graduates are free!

• Reservations are $12 per person. Tickets will also be available at the door.
• Please include your payment for the Senior Class '08 Party reservations along with any other Commencement '08 reservations or payments to the Office of Student Affairs.
• Please discuss the Senior Class '08 Party with your grad to avoid duplicate reservations (this happens frequently and can create much confusion!).

We also invite you to purchase your student's senior class photo. It is a large (10 x 14) glossy print of the 2008 class. The photos are $16 per photo and again, please talk with your grad to avoid duplicate purchases.

We hope you will join the Class of 2008 for their Commencement and celebratory festivities. For questions regarding Commencement, please contact the Office of Student Affairs (651-696-6220). If you have questions regarding Senior Week '08 social events, please contact the Senior Week '08 office at 651-696-6311 or email us at mac.seniorweek@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you in May!

Sincerely,

The Senior Week '08 Committee
