1. WELCOME TO IPED
Leyla Zaloutskaya

2. Asia studies law,
Some have done pre-Med,
Where then they go?
Welcome to IPED!

3. Searching for the food –
Hummus, Coke and bread –
Go to 5th floor:
Welcome to IPED!

4. There Will and Brie are reading
While Tony models the latest brand,
Who else here needs some feeding?
Dr. S. is IPEDer’s best friend!

5. Hunks in our class,
Andrew, Angelos and
Matt,
Always walk girls to the
bus –
Welcome to IPED!

6. Brendan dances well,
Jordan can attest,
The Clintons hang with
Donniell:
Ain’t IPED the best?

7. Lindsay is kind and…hot,
Peter knows that,
Michael Kevin’s super
smart:
Welcome to IPED!

8. Oh, Jerica plays soccer,
Anson lives for curly fries,
Brandon’s life got darker:
If he doesn’t leave NY, he dies!

9. Those I haven’t
mentioned
Are real awesome in
some way:
Karen’s great at breaking
tension,
Kristen bakes desserts all
day.

10. We’ve had the
greatest time,
Our eyes are
turning red,
We pass the torch tonight,
First-years, welcome to IPED!!!
