Seawolves SPEAK! What is your favorite on-campus memory?

Amanda Koba, Staff Writer • October 13, 2020

Wth the announcement of spring 2021 being online, Seawolves are missing campus more than ever. Sonoma State University’s small campus has created a close knit community between faculty and students. With students continuously joining and leaving the Seawolf pack, incoming and graduating students each have certain moments they remember after their time at SSU.

Within the first moments on campus students are creating moments that stay with them, making them feel more at home in SSU. Many students have found their homes in clubs and organizations or with new friends. Most incoming freshmen start their journey in the residential halls, quickly befriending roommates, and neighbors. They have created long lasting memories on campus with help of friends, staff and events. Students used to be seen all over campus eating, laughing with one another, tabling, and studying. These small moments that, for most, were taken without a thought now are some of the most missed. Now with the inability to do these things students are reminiscing on the days spent on campus. From late night runs to the Kitchens, to playing basketball at the Recreation Center, students shared their favorite on campus memories that have made an impact on their SSU careers.
