President David Skorton sends seniors off by answering the question: how do Cornell experiences translate to the real world?

From Steven Colbert campaigning for president in Barton to Andy Bernard making over the world in Cornell's image, it's been a wild four years on the Hill. With Drake's beats still ringing in our ears, we take a fond look back:

“This mass of third rate product from Sun editors and ‘Senior Writers’ is most discouraging. I shudder at what your junior writers produce and will not even read any of their writing for fear of nausea or worse,” one dedicated reader wrote during my tenure as associate editor of this paper.
