- Graduating seniors social event: Thursday, April 22nd 2021
-
We will be hosting a GUMMI social to celebrate graduating seniors! We'll start on Zoom then move to Gather.town where we'll break into groups to work on designing a GUMMI/graduating class themed graphic. After the event is over, the design which gets the most votes will be put on a coffee mug which will be given to graduates who request one. No graphic design experience is necessary; poorly designed graphics still lead to good memories :) The first 25 people to sign up will be reimbursed $20 for food expenses on the day of the event (priority given to seniors).
