Four Years, One Memory

Meeting friends for life. Mayfest. Studying abroad. Running naked in the rain. What’s your most memorable college experience?

Filmmakers Ted Rysz and Emily Shearing asked that question of 40 seniors on the Syracuse University quad. With classes done and seniors preparing final papers and studying for the last exams of their college careers, there's no better time to reflect on how they will fondly remember their time at SU.

Most of them had no idea what the question would be when they stepped up to the tape and looked into the lens. Others saw posters around campus or Tweets promoting the project. But even with time to think of an answer, some students still struggled to sum up their SU experience.
