“As most of the Class of 2024 would tell you, I was pretty crushed to have my senior prom and graduation taken away by the pandemic. The biggest lost, in my mind, was not having those prom photos that would be my computer wallpaper or dot my Facebook profile like the profiles of so many other college students. But on May 14th, Northwestern graciously hosted a redemption senior prom for my class at the Congress Hotel on Michigan Avenue! It really felt special having an event with just sophomores at such a beautiful venue, and it was equally as special seeing SAM colleagues covering the prom. While it could never fully replace the experience of a high school prom, I’m still very thankful that this event was put together for my class. My group’s prom photo now sits as my laptop wallpaper.” – Joshua Jung, photographer.
