Graduating college seniors will likely know a great deal more about college itself than they did when they first arrived at the school. Instruct all graduating students to write a letter to an incoming freshman relaying and tips or advice they picked up during their time at the school. Have the school administration place each letter in the dorm room of an incoming student. For a personal touch, match the letters to the rooms the graduating seniors occupied as freshmen. Their inspirational words and advice could have even more meaning to the freshmen reading them if the freshmen know the letter writers started exactly in the same place as they did.
Help the graduating students create a network of future business contacts before leaving college. Have each student submit a survey that details their name, contact information, intended field and job. Compile all the surveys into a directory to help the students keep in touch with each other and network in the future. Organize the directory by field, and include a cross reference by name to simplify the use of the directory. Distribute the directories at a graduation event.
Break the students up by major, and have each major compose a skit to illustrate their time at the college and their work within their major. The skits should be humorous and light hearted. Perform the skits at the graduation or at a graduation event or luncheon. This show will serve as one last bonding activity for the students and a way to poke fun at all their hard work and time spent at the school
Graduating classes often band together and give the school a gift in memory of their class. The gift could be a handmade masterpiece, or the class can purchase it through a collection of donations from the graduates. The gift is becomes a part of the school and a reminder of the years that particular class spent there. Some gift ideas include a piece of art, a book for the library or even a small garden or plant.
