That’s a Wrap on Senior Week
The Alumni Association hosted Senior Week May 5-8 for the Class of 2025. Featured events included the Final Toss: Senior Cornhole Tournament; Muffin but Money: Strategies for Financial Success; Strike a Pose: Professional Headshots; a Champagne Toast to the Class of 2025 and the 2.025 Grad Dash. As part of their participation in Senior Week, students also had the option to donate any amount to any fund through the senior class gift campaign. Students who donated $25 to commemorate their class year also received a donor medal to wear at Commencement and a water bottle to use throughout the week. Thank you to our 40 senior donors who raised a combined $1,308!

Black Alumni Weekend Was a Big Success! Winthrop welcomed over 500 alumni for Black
Alumni Weekend in April. The multi-day event featured panel discussions with notable Black alumni, a Black history exhibit and networking opportunities. A special thank you goes out to Chelsea Brown ’14, president of the Black Alumni Council, and the council’s additional leaders for their time spent planning an educational and fun- filled weekend. The next Black Alumni Weekend will tentatively be held in 2027. View photos from the weekend.
The Champagne Toast at the President's House is an homage to D.B. Johnson, Winthrop’s founder and first president, who hosted seniors for lemonade and cookies.
