Bust out the Bloody Mary mix and the mimosas this year, the Senior Breakfast has become the Senior Brunch. The festivities begin at 1 pm sharp.
The annual event predates Warren Towers, the GSU, and Walter Brown Arena and marks the official start of Commencement celebrations and Senior Week. This year’s later start time was designed to better accommodate students studying and living in different time zones.

On Friday, April 30, the Class of 2021 tuned in to the Zoom ceremony to toast one another and officially kick off Commencement 2021 festivities.
And, of course, to find out who this year’s Commencement speaker would be.

Domestic Violence Conviction ‘Proof’ Victim Cooperation Not Necessarily Needed, Prosecutors Say
A Tulsa County jury convicts a man of repeatedly strangling and beating his wife, even though the victim was too scared to cooperate with the prosecution.
Prosecutors said it is proof they can take a case to court even without a victim.
