By far, the most formative experience I have had during my time at Ithaca College has been as a co-chair for Ithaca College's Senior Week- a week-long celebration for the graduating class that falls between the end of finals week and the annual comencement ceremony. This week consists of 7 unique events including concerts, cocktail hours, formals, and an annual tradition known as the "Senior Splash," in which the seniors have the opportunity to jump into Ithaca College's iconic fountains.
