For nearly 20 years, R. Barbara Gitenstein has been the upstanding, buttoned-down president of one of New Jersey's most prestigious public colleges.
But she's retiring at the end of this year. So, what the heck, right?
Gitenstein, the 70-year-old president of The College of New Jersey, had some fun over the past few months checking off the unofficial campus "bucket list" for graduating students.
Riding the campus lion statue? Check.
Sliding down a hill on a dining hall tray? Check.
Jumping into the campus fountain? Well, you can watch the video above to see how that went.
Gitenstein hopes the video, produced by students, will inject some levity into the stress of finals week, she said.
