Freshman and College of Business Administration student Sajjad Ali snapped a shot at Saturday’s Serendipity Sendoff at the University of Missouri–St. Louis. Every year, the incoming class joins returning students, faculty and staff for a procession that symbolically kicks off the new school year and welcomes new students. The group starts at the Thomas Jefferson Library and ends at the Wayne Goode Statue where each person touches the statue for luck and signs a wooden trident.
