With graduation (and finals week) right around the corner, the Student Alumni Association will sponsor the annual senior week, April 24-29, 2005. Natalie Sacco, co-president of SAA, says senior week is a long-standing tradition at St. Ambrose. "It's a great way to provide graduating seniors with a fun time right before finals," Sacco says. "We hope that the week offers a positive remembrance of St. Ambrose."

Due to popular demand, Senior Week ticket sales have been extended to this week--sales will continue on Monday, April 25 from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 4-6 p.m. in Lower Cosgrove. The $6 fee gets participating students a senior gift, admission to the senior picnic and the Swing of the Quad Cities game, and a limo ride to and from the Swing's home ballpark, John O'Donnell Stadium.
