We are now shifting gears from our Se17or Sign-Offs to focus also on our Class of 2017 awards. Today's post will be about Nicole Naa Adoley Mensa.

Her friends describe her as: "a brilliant, talented young lady. Not only she lived by many because of her great personality and heart but she genuinely cares about people. She's also a great visionary and entrepreneur. She has started an NGO to educate elementary school children in ICT in Ghana. She has also started a she butter company to promote shea butter sales of misrepresented woman in the northern part of Ghana. She deserves this recognition!"

Since you've been wondering who the Commencement Speaker is for so long, I will now reveal this in today's Se17or Sign-Off! Drum roll please. Dum Dum Dum DumDUMDUMUDMDUMDUDM:

Name: Lauren Lang (Editor's Note: Lauren does not currently have social media, but she's still cool – believe the unknown author)

Hometown: Chagrin Falls, OH

Major(s): ILR

Where did you take your photo?: I took my photo in the basement of Catherwood Library.

Why did you choose to take the picture there?: I spend a lot of time in the basement of Catherwood library due to the fact it is open 24/7 for ILR students. It’s one of the places that I find the most comfort on campus. I like looking out the large windows while I do work and watching three different seasons transpire in the matter of a few hours. I like the silence. I like the friends I pass on my walk down. I like the atmosphere, and I will miss this study place a lot next year.

My favorite dining location on campus is by far Mac’s Cafe. (Thank you Alec Ulnick for introducing me to Mac’s freshman year). On top of having incredible food and coffee, they have an amazing staff. I always enjoy my morning conversations with Amanda or Alison. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I highly recommend it.

I would like to give a shout out to my freshman floor 2 Court and my freshman year RA Eric Beaudette, who did a great job of creating a community on our floor. 2 court will always be a special place to me. Without this floor, Cornell would not have felt like home so quickly. From o-week to watching Jason’s go pro video on Slope Day, I have memories to last a lifetime. Thank you 2 Court for an amazing start to my Cornell experience.

Sorry to all of our fans for being late today on the Se17or Sign-Off, so we made an extra special one today. We even added a little special ingredient *wink* *wink* *nudge* *nudge* (It's love.) Anyway, here's the next (albeit late) Se17or Sign-Off!

Name: Amy Janel Garza

Hometown: Laredo, Texas

Major(s): International Agriculture & Rural Development

Where did you take your photo?: The Teaching Barn

Why did you choose to take the picture there?: I'm taking a sheep production class this semester, and we have to do chores at the barn including taking care of these cute little lambs! I want to share the cuteness with the world!

Favorite class and Professor: Honestly, all of the horticulture professors & classes I've taken are the best. These professors are the type to bring you fresh apples to each lecture, homemade cookies, and actually take the time to sit down and get to know you.

What would be your Senior Self-superlative: Most Likely to be on the List Serve of all the restaurants in Ithaca.

It's been a week since our last Se17or Sign-Off, but we're back and bigger than ever! And when I say back I mean HUGE – like bigger than – errrrr – BIG RED! Ha Ha, just kidding not that big. More like football player sized – Cornell football player specifically. So big, but there's bigger out there, but for now:

Name: Nick Frost Bland

Hometown: Milton, MA

Major(s): ILR

Where did you take your photo?: Schoellkopf Field (Photographer's Note: Sorry it's overexposed, still think it looks good though)

Why did you choose to take the picture there?: I'm a member of the Cornell football team

Shoutout to Monica McGavin in the ILR office of student services. Probably would have forgotten to apply to graduate without you. So thanks for helping me get my diploma on time and all that you do for ILR.

Favorite Spot in the commons is Gorgers Subs. If you haven't been or heard of it yet, take a break from Chipotle and go there. Best subs around.

03/29/2017

Hump Day! What, what! Ya'll know what that means – two more days till SPRAAANG BRAAAAK! But, until then we shall be continuing onward with our award winning series, Se17or Sign-Offs. Indubitably.

Name: Jia Cheong

Hometown: Queens, NY

Major(s): Biological Sciences

Where did you take your photo?: Sage Hall

Why did you choose to take the picture there?: I'm never at home. You'll always find me at sage. I'd like to say it's more home to me than my actual apartment. Also, I'm not a fan of undergraduates for some reason. It gives off a very nice professional vibe but also a chill one too. I'm always there. So you know what to do: Cash me at Sage how bout dah?

Favorite Late night food: Tacos from Dos Amigos. Or CTP Pizza.

Senior Self-Superlative: Call me Asian Salt bae cause I'm mad extra.

03/28/2017

Today is Se17or Sign-Off number 17. This is of course a significant number because it is our grad year. It is also significant because we've actually been continuing this for 17 days! We've had over 17 people featured, we have more people ready to be featured and even more people who've reached out to be featured; but, today's feature is already determined and that is:

Name: Patrick Loi

Hometown: Brooklyn, NY

Major(s): Biological Sciences

Where did you take your photo?: PSB

Why did you choose to take the picture there?: PSB is the central hub for hard science majors. I love that I can almost always find at least one friend there while walking through the atrium. I love the natural lighting, the new lab spaces, the quiet spaces to do work, being able to get lunch at Goldies, and the easy accessibility to duck into Baker and say hi to chemistry friends. PSB is where I've definitely spent a good portion of my Cornell career.

I'd like to give my shout-out to this lovely gal whom I took this photo with, Rachel Kim. As transfer students, we come in with certain apprehensions about fitting in and finding friend groups, so it was a relief to have someone like me to share these experiences with. We came from the same high school in NYC--but we never met then--we both transferred from the CUNY system, ended up majoring in Biology, became orientation leaders and student advisors, and shared an interest in meeting and mentoring other new students going through the similar situations. I wouldn't be able to imagine how different my Cornell experience would be if she didn't knock on my door on West Campus the first day of move-in: "hey you're also from Stuy! Let's be friends!"

One of my life-changing classes was BIOMG 4370: Cell Proliferation, Senescence, and Death really helped cement my career directions in biomedical research and strengthened my skills as a scientist. I liked it so much I ended becoming the first undergrad TA for that class. In general, through this class, AXS, CURB, the OUB, I'm really glad I got to immerse myself in the scientific research communities at Cornell, hearing people geek out about their favorite transfection experiments, or lament over uneven western blot controls.

At this point, we're really cooking with fire! These Se17or Sign-Offs are burning like they're my mixtape! This next one doesn't even let up as we add (insert extremely flammable chemical compound here) to the Se17or Sign-Off fire!

Name: Jake Grist

Hometown: Merrimack, NH

Major(s): Chemical Engineering

Where did you take your photo?: The couch inside Willard Straight

Why did you choose to take the picture there?: That's where my friend Kevin originally convinced me to come to Cornell.

My favorite club is without a doubt Science Olympiad at Cornell. I was part of the team that founded it back in 2014 and since then we've hosted 4 Science Olympiad invitationals for over 2000 high schoolers in total. We've also secured Cornell as the location of the 2019 national tournament. While I'm super proud of the accomplishments of the club, I'm even more happy with the friends I've made along the way. Science Olympiad gave me a real group that I fit in with and a feeling of belonging that I'd been looking for since I first arrived on campus. I love the idea that if freshmen me came to Cornell right now there would be a group that could make him feel like he belonged right away.

If I had to give freshmen advice it would be to do what I didn't, go out and join a club or two to meeting people who share your interests. There are 14,000 undergrads on campus, there is a group out there that you'll love.

This Se17or Sign-Off is not sponsored by EY, I swear – despite EY offering quality Financial and Advisory services. And, EY is only committed to building a better working world — with increased trust and confidence in business, sustainable growth, development of talent in all its forms, and greater collaboration. But, I swear this Se17or Sign-Off is not sponsored by EY.

Name: Ayanna Allen

Hometown: Grand Rapids, Michigan
Major(s): Applied Economics and Management

Where did you take your photo?: Warren Hall 3rd Floor - EY Lounge

Why did you choose to take the picture there?: I've probably spent more time studying here than anywhere else, and I'm also low key obsessed with EY

Favorite Class: I'm such an accounting nerd so my favorite class was definitely Advanced Accounting. My favorite professor is John McKinley.

Favorite Late Night Food: Cheese fries from Jack's but the cheese has to be on the side.
