I’m staying on-campus for an extra two weeks to work commencement and reunion which means that I got to watch Senior Week unfold! Smith has a TON of traditions including Illuminations Night. Held the night before commencement, the campus is lit up by colored paper lanterns. Alumnae, Seniors and everyone else walk around campus and the botanic garden as music plays and a cappella groups perform. It’s a truly whimsical night and I feel so lucky that I got to experience it! In three years, that will be me!
Lanterns as far as the eye can see!
The Botanic Garden had extended hours until 10pm so I wandered around with one of my friends for a bit!
Smith lit up this sign over paradise pond to celebrate the Class of 2019!
Cute note left by an alum in the Botanic Garden!
