Year-Long Recap: This year at Innis is coming to a close. Even though everyone’s year was full of studying and, now, exams, Innis made sure to pack the year with activities to get away from academia. All of the classic Innis events were put on, including Frosh Week, Pub Nights, Innis Formal and Harold’s House. There were also some fantastic new Innis events, like Residence Semi-Formal, the second annual Holi Festival celebration, and the Innis College Mentorship Program. Whatever your preferences, there should have been an event that helped make your year better! For all of the Innis students that are graduating this year, we hope your last year at Innis was one to remember. You will be missed in the Innis community. Good luck with your final assignments of your undergraduate careers! For all those coming back… get ready for a fantastic 2015-2016 school year!
