Life After SCU
Make the most of your last quarter on campus!
Graduation’s close—and whether you feel ready or not, Life After SCU has you covered. This spring, we’re putting on a mix of events to help you prep for what’s next, meet people, and enjoy your last quarter together as a class. Stop by for headshots, casual networking, wine tasting, BBQ basics, and some free stuff along the way. It’s all about celebrating the finish line while getting a few things figured out before you cross it.
