After a great Final Toast event on Wednesday, April 24, the Class of 2013, led by Class President Jon Youshaei, has officially passed the senior torch to the Class of 2014. Pending the passing of final exams (fingers crossed!), we ecstatically welcome 2013 as our newest yPenn cohort! Here’s a small taste of the fun, but click on the photos to link to all Final Toast pics:

We had a BLAST at the event, and we’re pumped that it’s only the first of many Senior Week festivities! More information about Senior Week (including tickets to all ticketed events) will be available outside Sweeten Alumni House Monday-Wednesday (May 6-8) from 11AM – 3PM.

Final Toast

We’re gearing up here for a day-long celebration, the fourth annual Final Toast for the Class of 2012 (you can read about last year’s celebration here). This event, sponsored by the Penn Traditions program, brings together the senior class to welcome juniors into the alumni community with great food, live music, and a toast as the class of 2013 “moves up” into their senior year on Hey Day.

Here are a few behind-the-scenes photos:

Sign the pledge!

Very soon, this space will be filled with seniors.

Every participant gets a Final Toast mug as a memento.

The lovely Leigh Ann models one of the "Hey Safe" t-shirts.

Stay tuned for an update on the event very soon!

Hey Day and the Final Toast: April 2011

Author: Lex Ruby Howe, C’07, GED’13

Penn students celebrated the 95^th annual Hey Day yesterday, with the Class of 2012 advancing to “senior” status as the senior Class of 2011 were welcomed into the Penn Alumni community at the third annual Final Toast.

The Final Toast featured a beer-garden, food from Penn’s famous food trucks – Magic Carpet, Sugar Philly, and Guapo Taco by Jose Garces – as well as the Mask & Wig Band, the Bloomers Band, and DJ Rico.

A special appearance by President Amy Gutmann made the event truly remarkable. Gutmann joined the Mask & Wig band on stage for a brilliant rendition of “Son of a Preacher Man.”
