The Student Activities Board will host its annual Last Class Bash Tuesday, May 2 from 3 to 6 p.m. outside the chapel on the quad.

 “Last Class Bash is the final SAB event of the year, and it serves as a celebration of finishing classes,” said sophomore and SAB staff member John Schaefer. 

The event was rainy last year, but junior and SAB staff member Ian Schlagel is hopeful for this year.

“Two years ago it was a beautiful day and super fun,” Schlagel said. “Everyone came out for some food and yard games, and it was a great afternoon!”

As the last event of the year, SAB gives senior staffers the day off, according to Schaefer.

“Only younger SAB staff members work the event so the graduating seniors can just enjoy,” said Schaefer.

The event also serves as a bookend to a school year of activities where students can reflect on all the events that have happened, according to Schlagel.

“Baw Beese BBQ is one of the first events so it is fitting we have a similar event at the end of the year,” said Schlagel. “Students can look back to that first weekend and think about all the blessings and changes that have taken place since.”

“There will be hamburgers, snacks, music, and games,” said Schaefer. “Come hangout and relax before finals!”
