A letter from your class officers

Although our time at Juniata is coming to a close, it is easy to reflect on all of the experiences we’ve had and memories we’ve made during our time here. We’ve made friendships, stormed the arch, spent days at Raystown Lake when we should have been doing homework, taken up residence in tents on the quad for a week in November, belted out the 12 Days of Christmas at Madrigal, listened to inspiring Bailey Oratorical speeches, attended LAS presentations that made us think differently about the world, and watched other Juniatians walk across the stage at graduation.

As we prepare to take our own walk across that stage, we must recognize that doing so comes with a great sense of responsibility.  We will soon be Juniata College alumni, which means we will pave the way for future Juniata students. One of the first ways we can start giving back to the Juniata community is by creating a space for meditation and thoughtful reflection in the new Learning Commons.  Our class can put a stamp on this institution by allowing future students the opportunity to center themselves, reflect on their experiences, and have a quiet minute to themselves. We have made prioritizing mental health an important part of our experience at Juniata, and we can make that commitment permanent by creating a meditation room in the Learning Commons. We hope to give future Juniatians the tools to make some of the same memories we have made, change their lives, and study the things they are truly passionate about while providing them with a space to reflect on all of the things that Juniata means to them. With your help, we can pave the way for future Juniatians to have a meaningful experience during their time here, just as we all have.
