  • about class composites (i.e., the group photo):

    • those in the Science Faculty who have their photos taken by Lifetouch Photography (i.e., the Faculty of Arts photographer - see above) instead of New School Photography will be able to obtain their individual photographs but their photo will not appear on the Psychology BA class composite or on the appropriate Science Faculty class composite.
  • For those of you who had graduation photos taken by New School Photography, please ask the photographer or at the Science Society Office how and when you will be receiving your class composite.
