Senior week events

Several events have been scheduled for the days between the last day of examinations and commencement for seniors and graduate students.

Comedian Rob Paravonian will be performing on May 10 at 10 p.m. in the Knight Club. Paravonian, who has performed in Alfred before, combines stand-up comedy and musical performance. His best-known skit is Pachelbel's Rant, a commentary on the overuse of one specific chord progression. He has also appeared on Comedy Central and written several songs for cartoon shows. This will be a free event.

The senior and graduate class trip to Three Brothers Wineries and Estates and Seneca Lake will take place on May 12. The cost of the trip is $25, which includes lunch, complimentary wine and beer tasting, and a boat tour of the lake. The Three Brothers is a microbrewery combined with 3 different wineries, each offering different types of beverages. Information on each winery and the brewery can be found at their main website, 3brotherswinery.com. Tickets should be purchased in advance and can be done so on Fridays at the ticket booth on the first floor of Powell Campus Center. Those attending will be leaving the McLane Center parking lot at 11:30 a.m.

A barbecue and pot luck dinner will be held at 6 p.m. on May 13 in front of the Brick. Seniors are encouraged to bring extra food in addition to what will be prepared. Complimentary Kanakadea yearbooks will be given out at this event.
