Hollins U - Pot Luck

We had one last pot-luck party on Friday night for those who hadn't left our Hollins bubble yet. It's a chance to clean out our refrigerators (there are always lots of pickles at this party), and to have one last hoorah. We get very silly at this party, singing songs...trying on other people's sunglasses (dang, Ellen, that's a strong prescription!......and there are lots of hugs going around.Ruth wore her new necklace we gave her as a stepping down gift.And the students enjoyed one last fall-apart with smiles all around.Some of us go to Hollins every summer, but others come only every other year, and some even less than that if they are only visiting speakers, so it's always a bittersweet affair. I don't like goodbyes, who does? But it's also a chance to reflect on what an incredibly awesome summer term we had and how lucky we all are to be a part of the bubble of joy that we call Hollins University! I look forward to next summer!
