Whether you're excited to be moving on to what’s next or sad to leave good times behind, this retreat makes space for the messiness of transitions. To mark your transition from college, consider attending Crossroads: the Senior Retreat.

Each year, seniors can vote for a professor they would like to see deliver the last lecture of their undergraduate careers. The top five vote-getters participate in another ballot, and the professor with the most votes addresses the class at a special event on campus. The Last Lecture has quickly become a Senior Class favorite event!

Commencement Week is a series of special events and programs coordinated by Villanova University for our graduates to enjoy their last week on campus. Do not miss this great opportunity to celebrate with your classmates during Commencement Week!
