The Naffziger Society held its annual Chiefs’ Welcome Picnic on Saturday, June 7th, at the Elk Glen Picnic Area in Golden Gate Park. Thank you to Dr. Sosa, our esteemed faculty, and all society members who joined us to celebrate and warmly welcome our newest alumni into the community.
Spearheaded by President Jen Wang, the rising chiefs added a fun and personal touch to the event by creating lighthearted awards for this year’s chiefs. Special thanks to Tom Sorrentino and Basil Karam for putting together an outstanding presentation that brought laughter, reflection, and camaraderie to the celebration.
This tradition offers a meaningful opportunity to connect, reflect, and share insights as the chiefs begin the next chapter of their careers. As Dr. Kenzo Hirose aptly put it, it’s “like the brunch following a wedding”—a time to celebrate, reminisce, and look ahead together. We’re truly grateful to everyone who helped make this event a success.
