Toward the end of every academic year, the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors each have one last chance to share a special moment with the soon-to-be graduates before Commencement. The juniors on the California campus recently took their turn, hosting the annual Junior-Senior Dinner & Dance. Transforming St. Joseph Commons into a magical space, the juniors gave the Class of 2022 a night to remember. 

String lights and decorative flora hung above the College檚 upperclassmen as they shared a gourmet dinner, prepared and served by the juniors, and enjoyed a final dance together late into the night. 淚t was just our class and the juniors,� said Nicole Walshe (�22). 淭hey檙e the class we檙e closest to, and it was wonderful to have everyone together in a more intimate setting櫇

Some took the moment to be a portent of things to come, however bittersweet. 淭his dance felt especially special because I finally saw the seniors as seniors,� Sophie Cummings (�23) observed. 淚t got me charged up to be senior � they檙e passing their legacy on to us.� Turning to the seniors� approaching departure, she added, 淚檒l miss them, but they檙e ready to go into the world and evangelize.�
