Aaay…Senior Week is Back!

Senior Week, the annual rite of passage for TCNJ’s graduating classes, returned this May after a one-year hiatus. The tradition started in 1999 as a way for seniors to spend the week leading up to Commencement, together, in the same dorms where many of them started their college careers (Wolfe Hall).

Participants pay a small fee for the room and admission to special events, which this year included a pig roast; trips to Jenkinson’s in Point Pleasant, Great Adventure, and Katmandu nightclub; a carnival; and a gala send-off. This year’s event also featured a guest speaker: Henry Winkler, better known to many as Fonzie from Happy Days.
