After six days of unrelenting rain, the sun came out just in time for SpringFest 2016 at midday on May 6. This year, the pre-finals week celebration was also a thank-you for President H. Kim Bottomly’s nine years of service to Wellesley College. There were food trucks, bouncy houses, the gift of a red oak tree planted on the Chapel lawn in Bottomly’s honor, Aiko drummers—and yes, a flash mob, which accompanied a surprised, but dancing, president to the podium to the tune of Beyoncé’s “Run the World (Girls).”
