Continued from "Traditions 'Neath the Purple and White" story
As they approach graduation, seniors get a sense of life as SFA alumni at the Senior Send-Off. Thrown by the SFA Alumni Association, this huge graduation party with food, games and prizes offers a bridge from student to alum.
Instead of the Ag Pond, these new alumni tailgate at the corner of Raguet and Hayter streets. They bid on Lumberjack memorabilia during the Alumni Association's Online Homecoming Auction, play the links at the Bob Sitton Classic golf tournament, and cheer on Texas baseball teams during SFA Ballpark Days.
The more than 115,000 SFA alumni hold a great deal of wisdom, both personal and professional, and continue to help one Lumberjack at a time. That's a tradition that will never change.
