This year, finals week could not have gone by more quickly, despite starting slow on Monday. Many exciting events occurred throughout the week, including two PMBA-sponsored end-of-the-year parties.
The parties, at nearby Urban Flats, started at 9:00 P.M. on both Wednesday and Thursday night and came complete with free food and drink. Many students in both the Professional and Early Advantage programs showed up and had a great time.
The Center for Leadership Development also helped make an otherwise stressful week go by a little easier. Throughout the week, it provided students with a variety of food and drink, including coffee from Panera, peanut butter and jelly for sandwiches, milk, Nutella hazelnut spread, and a variety of cookies.
The highlight of the week, however, may have been the festivities on Tuesday that came with the proclamation of Fox Day for the Arts and Sciences students.
Although Crummer does not (yet) participate in the main benefit of Fox Day-all events and classes canceled-it (along with the Holt school) is invited each year to the campus wide barbeque on Mills Lawn that starts at 5:00 P.M.
Several Crummer students showed up to mingle with colleagues, undergraduates, faculty members, and staff. Of course, they also came to enjoy a free meal of hamburgers, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, and the many other items on the smorgasbord.
Considering all of the other benefits of Fox Day, for some, the main attraction was finally getting a look at the elusive Fox. People would stop by to see the statue sitting by the flagpole, and some students even took pictures beside it.
The school-wide event wrapped up around 7:30 P.M. and a couple Crummer students were among the last to leave.
Overall, the Fox Day barbeque was a huge success, and though the clouds threatened rain for most of the afternoon, they never let go of a drop that might ruin the festivities. There was plenty of food, plenty to drink, and even some ice cream to take on the road. For those of you who missed the event, there's always next year…unless, of course, you are graduating.
