Students had to break out the rain boots and umbrellas for May Day 2016. But the driving rain wasn't enough to keep Mawrters from enjoying the year's final tradition. In fact, the less than ideal weather only highlighted how special the day and the Bryn Mawr community is, says President Kim Cassidy in her blog.
"My greatest delight, however, was finding that the spirit of May Day could not be dampened by the weather. And it is this of which I was most impressed and proud. Students could have been grumbling and bitter. They could have focused on what was lost to the weather. But they didn’t. They didn’t let the weather take away the joy of the day, the opportunity to celebrate, or the chance to experience being part of a community that extends through time. It was their day, and they were going to enjoy it."
May Day 2016 was also celebrated on social media. Check out the Storify below for some of our favorite tweets and Instagram photos. Come back to this post later in the week as we'll be adding more photos to our main photo gallery in the days ahead.
