Visit (II)
Whether it be the official event in the fall or the thrown-together celebration in the spring, there are very few legitimate reasons to miss an Alumni Weekend at Marist.
To me, alumni weekend means revisiting my alma mater, remembering all of the things I miss about it so much, but also appreciating that my Marist “glory days” are over. As much as I miss Marist, it’s true that by graduation time, you’re ready to leave, no matter how much fun those four years in the Hudson Valley were.
Which is why Homecoming Weekend and Spring Alumni Weekend are so great. You can visit your favorite spots, see your favorite people and hang out in your favorite place, all without classes, papers and other college-related responsibilties.
Here are some highlights from my most recent trip to Marist, and last of the year:
I’ve never met a pizza roll from Coco’s that I didn’t like.
Mahoney’s was an obvious stop on our tour. Really, there are few places I’d rather be to scope out townies and see my favorite DJ, PJ.
The wind was too fierce for a walk on the Walkway bridge, but we still stopped down by the river to see the sights, and wonder what ever possessed us to jump into the icy waters.
Is there any other college in this nation that gives you such great photo opportunities?
And then, of course, there is the brand-new Hancock center…
But more on that beauty later…
