Among the many beloved farewell traditions at Thomas Aquinas College is the annual Sophomore-Senior brunch. This year, the New England Class of 2027 bid adieu to the Class of 2025 at an elegant spring event in Bl. Frassati Student Center. Over coffee cake and quiche prepared by the sophomores, the two classes spent the morning enjoying each other’s company.

Although the brunch is hosted by the sophomores, it is an opportunity for both classes to express their appreciation for each other in the form of toasts. Some were humorous, some were wistful, but all were heartfelt. Students toasted their beloved classmates, roommates, siblings, and friends, thanking them for their companionship and mentorship. Each toast was met with enthusiasm and applause, and for some, a few tears were shed. “It’s crazy how fast time goes,” said Sebastiano Egan (’27). “You all have become some of my closest friends in less than two years.”
