High school seniors reveal choices in joyous ‘signing day’ ceremony
“On this spring day at Boston University ‘we celebrate seniors on their journey to college and life beyond!’ dean of students Robert Hendricks exclaimed. Tutors danced. Teachers clapped. The class of 2029 — currently in kindergarten — read touching letters of encouragement and advice for the largely low-income, minority upperclassmen, most of them the first in their families to attend college. Now, all they have to do is pay for it.”
