They spent the afternoon relaxing in the sun, playing frisbee, and catching up with friends. Seniors sat through their last Global Perspectives on Society (GPS) lecture on March 25. Vice Chancellor Jeffrey Lehman took them back to Monday mornings during freshman year, when they spent hours together discussing everything from Xunzi to Kant. On this last meeting, the class discussed Being Mortal by Atul Gawande and reflected on what it means to live “a life of worth and purpose,” and “authoring” one’s life by leading rather than following. During Senior Week from March 25 -29, the Class of 2019 re-lived their first-year Orientation, had a much needed De-Stress Day, a Violet Spirit Day (wear purple, get a purple taro-flavored ice cream!) and a Game Night that included everything from Mahjong and Uno to Nintendo Switch and games of Mafia.
