As part of the third day of Senior Week events, seniors attended the President’s BBQ Wednesday evening. Held in Cameron Indoor Stadium, the event featured free food, dessert and drinks as well as complimentary cups and fleece blankets for the Class of 2010. President Richard Brodhead and his wife Cynthia Brodhead played hosts, talking with students and even taking photos in the photo booths with several students.

Senior week began with a Chapel Climb Monday evening and a pub crawl along Main Street Tuesday. The week concludes with a Deans’ Wine and Cheese Reception at the Washington Duke Inn and Golf Club today at 5:30 p.m.

The Chronicle asked seniors and the Brodheads what they liked best about the event in Cameron Wednesday evening.

“As a college student, free food is always a plus.”

—Brianna Vey

“It’s a fun way to end senior year, hanging out with old friends.”

—Rachael Winchester

“It’s been incredible fun. Everyone is here, the end is near, but not too near, everyone is having a nice time.”

—Richard Brodhead, president

“[This event is] awesome. Totally awesome.”

—Cynthia Brodhead

“The food’s really good. It’s really nice to see all the seniors in one place... being in Cameron this year as a senior is really cool. I like being chill and social because pub crawls where everyone is moving around, I don’t know, at least here we can all just come to Cameron to be in Cameron and see everyone in our class.”

—Adam Barron

“[My favorite part was] definitely the photo booth. I saw [President Richard] Brodhead taking a picture with two students. The food’s delicious, and the fact that all the seniors are together, we don’t all get together like this, we should have more events like this.”

—Aron Anderson

“Fleece blankets [were the best part]. The food was really good though, better than I’d expected.”

—Liz Clipp

“I like having the event in Cameron, it’s kind of where it started and ended for us—being on the floor, watching and cheering, being a part of this.”

—Alex Lyons-Smith
