》 EDITOR'S NOTE
It's finally here and it's already here. I've been anticipating my own college graduation since the day I moved into Hashing Hall fall 2003, but it seems like yesterday that I walked to my 8:30 a.m. Chemistry class for the first time.
I took a lot of ownership in this special section because I'm one of you, seniors. I've really enjoyed my four years at the University of Kansas and I hope you have too.
This is my seventh semester working at The University Daily Kansan. I started as a correspondent and worked my way through many of the positions at the newspaper. I've had the pleasure of working with
The Kansan correspondents and I thought of stories that would not only entertain, but also commemorate our four years at the University.
30 great freshman, sophomores and juniors this year, putting together stories for The Kansan and all of its special sections this spring.
Make sure to read what to wear on the big day on page 3. On the same page, find out some of the big dos and don'ts of graduation day, including superstitions surrounding the Campanile.
Check out the awards some of your fellow seniors are receiving on page 3.
Get the stories of several graduating international students on page 7.
Find out more about your senior class president on page 5.
Take a look at the top 10 graduation movies to watch on page 6, and check some out when you need a study break during finals week.
I hope you'll check out the timeline we put together on pages 8 and 9 that highlights events both on campus and around the world that happened during our time at the University; maybe you'll even want to keep it.
Make sure you know what you're walking through when you cross over the threshold of the Campanile by reading its history on page 10.
We've including the names of all 4,077 graduates for this year, including December and Summer 2006 graduates. Look for your own name, and check out other seniors' favorite memories and future plans in the senior miniprofiles throughout.
Finally, if you haven't done all of the things other seniors recommend doing as a KU student, make sure you get those done before you leave town.
I'll see you at the top of the hill on Sunday, May 20. Best of luck in all your future endeavors.
