Student Development and Institutional Research would like to thank all those who completed the College Senior Survey (CSS) this year. Nearly 1/3 of the senior class participated in this year’s survey. The information gathered will help us better understand and continue to improve the experience of all Hornets. Congratulations to the raffle winners:

All K seniors are encouraged to complete the 2024 College Senior Survey (CSS). This national survey asks about experiences during your time at K and provides information to enhance the experiences and opportunities for all Hornets.
Seniors who complete the survey will receive $5 in K Cash and will be entered into a raffle for a Pac-Man home arcade game.
Check your K email for your invitation, or go to campus.kzoo.edu/ir/css and login to take the survey.
Do you have extra meal swipes you won’t use? Do you need some extra help with meals?
If you answered “yes” to either question, please remember Hungry Hornets, as part of the Basic Needs program at K, allows students to donate meal swipes they won’t use to a meal bank which is used to provide meal swipes to students who may need some help ensuring adequate nutrition. To donate or to request meals, please complete this online form.
The Hungry Hornets program also has a refrigerator stocked with “to go” meals – these meals are made fresh each day and utilize food otherwise destined for compost. These meals are designed to support students who can benefit from some extra help with their daily needs; they are available in fridge in Hicks 110.
Thanks so much for following Jerome the Leprechaun throughout the month of March!
Jerome the leprechaun gnome had always been a mischievous fellow, known for his love of pranks and his penchant for getting into places where he didn’t quite belong. One sunny afternoon, as the chemistry department buzzed with experiments and lectures, Jerome decided to pay them a visit.
With a twinkle in his eye and a bounce in his step, Jerome crept into the laboratory. The chemists, busy at their workstations, didn’t notice the tiny figure darting between shelves and cabinets. He couldn’t resist the temptation to investigate the experiments taking place. With a mischievous grin, he climbed onto the nearest bottle and peered inside. What he saw amazed him – a rainbow of chemicals swirling and mixing, creating mesmerizing patterns.
But his fun was short-lived as he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. Panicking, Jerome scampered away, leaving behind a trail of sparkles and laughter. The chemists, puzzled by the sudden burst of activity in their normally quiet laboratory, could only wonder at the strange occurrence.
Jerome, the usually lively and mischievous leprechaun, was found in a state of blissful repose. Tucked away in a cozy corner of the Student Activities, his hat slightly askew, and a contented smile on his face, Jerome convinced our Associate Vice President of Human Resources, Renee Boelcke, to take a midday snooze!
As he slept, a tiny rainbow arched over him, each color shimmering with an otherworldly glow. He dreamt of quests, seeking those colorful arcs, each step resonating with the promise of extraordinary treasures. His dreams transform into fields of four-leaf clovers that hold the key to unparalleled luck.
He wakes feeling well-rested and ready to explore more of the campus! Where will he show up next?
Jerome the Leprechaun gnome skipped into the Kalamazoo College game room, his emerald green coat shimmering under the fluorescent lights. With a mischievous glint in his eye, he headed straight for the foosball table.
“Top o’ the evening to ye!” he exclaimed in his lilting Irish accent, drawing the attention of the students gathered around the game room. “Who’s up for a spirited game of foosball?”
With a competitive spirit, the students gathered around, eager to take on the lively leprechaun in a game of skill and wit. And so, amidst the clatter of plastic players and the cheers of onlookers, Jerome dove into the game with gusto, his tiny hands darting to and fro as he worked his magic on the foosball table.
Of course, this was all just a wish for Jerome seeing he was too small to actually play the game…
Jerome has looped Kelly into his antics before she heads off to the Center for International Programs! With a small frame and a plan to go home, he consulted with Kelly to determine his ride home at the end of the month. His cost? $18.33 for a trip across the world!
Jerome the Leprechaun gnome tiptoed into the President’s suite at Kalamazoo College, his small stature making him almost invisible against the opulent furnishings.
“Top o’ the morning, Wendy and Sarah!” Jerome exclaimed, his green attire shimmering in the sunlight streaming through the window.
Wendy and Sarah chuckled at the sight of the unexpected visitor. “Well, well, if it isn’t Jerome the Leprechaun! What brings you across the Quad today?”
Jerome’s eyes twinkled mischievously as he produced a small pot of gold coins from his coat pocket. “I’ve come to share a bit o’ luck and cheer with you ladies,” he declared, presenting the pot with a flourish.
With a wave goodbye, Jerome danced out of the office, leaving behind a trail leprechaun luck down the hallway.
