We invite graduating students and their families to join us on Friday, May 17, 2019, atop Monte San Salvatore for the 2019 Graduating Student and Family Send-Off Dinner.
Amidst breathtaking views looking down on Lugano, the University would like to give thanks to graduating students and their families for making Franklin home over the years and wish them well as they begin the next phase in their life.
This long-standing Franklin tradition gives graduating seniors and their families the opportunity to meet, connect, and say goodbye before the excitement of commencement.
