Ryan Field is getting ready for the Class of 2012! What are your memories of Northwestern Commencement?

Graduates and their families are converging on Evanston for graduation events beginning today! If you’re tweeting about the festivities, tag your tweets with #nugrads so we can add you to our social media recap: http://bit.ly/L5JOHl Congrats to the Class of 2012!

SENIORS!

It’s been four years since you moved into your first dorm room, registered for classes and began your Northwestern experience. Before you say goodbye, take a moment to offer some advice for the Wildcats following in your footsteps.

Write a brief note of advice to the Class of 2016 and send it to m-paolelli@northwestern.edu along with your favorite photo from your time at NU!

We’ll compile all the pearls of wisdom and post them in our graduation coverage on the Northwestern website. We’d love to get a wide range of responses, so please pass this along to all of your senior friends via Facebook, listserv, etc.

Thanks for your submissions, enjoy Senior Week and Go ‘Cats!
