It's the final day of the "regular season" for Marshall's Class of 2013. Students gathered this morning for the traditional Ivy Chapel ceremony.

The class is then welcomed into the alumni community with the Passage Ceremony.

The students took a break for lunch in the dining room, then it was off to the auditorium for a graduation ceremony walk-through.

The day is not over yet - the students gather tonight for the class cruise aboard the Vista!

Congratulations, Class of 2013!

Freshman Andrew J took not one, but two pies to the face during the lunch hour today.

It was all for a good cause. Students were asked to bring in donations of food for the Salvation Army. Every donation meant a chance to win the opportunity to put a pie in Andrew's face.

The food drive was the idea of Mr. Woodward's Advisory class.
