Welcoming the senior class to the Alumni Association happens every year at the Senior Toast, where the almost-alumni were treated this year to a Tex-Mex dinner and party, complete with color-changing margarita cups (left), which were used in a toast offered by Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr.

This year, the party moved to the lawn of the Alumni Center because last year they couldn’t fit everyone into the Brown-Lupton University Union ballroom.

More than 840 seniors — a record attendance — enjoyed live music, door prizes and party favors as they prepared to leave the campus.
