During the brunch, the Assistant Vice President of Alumni Relations and the President of the Alumni Council will induct the graduating class into the Saint Anselm College Alumni Association before their class banner is lowered from the Davison Hall ceiling.

The Senior Send Off Brunch is only for graduating students, faculty, and staff.
