Alumni Connect – August 2018
Most fun weekend of the year: Homecoming Oct. 5-7
Fall is one of the best times of year in ÂÌñÉç. There's the indescribable energy that's only felt during the fall in ÂÌñÉç, the weather is crisp and the trees come alive with fall colors. This alone should get you to come back for Homecoming, but there's so much more. Friday-Sunday, Oct. 5-7 will be a weekend of celebrations across campus.
Scholarship supports future ÂÌñÉç alumni
Legacy families have a special place in the heart of the ÂÌñÉç Alumni Association, as multiple generations within the same family share a connection to ÂÌñÉç. Each year, your Alumni Association reaffirms its commitment to legacy families by offering scholarships to two academically deserving students with an immediate family member who graduated from ÂÌñÉç.
Life as an extra on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
One day, Conrad Taylor ’17 was walking past The Forum in ÂÌñÉç when he took notice of the marquee. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, the Amazon show that won a Golden Globe for best TV comedy, was having a casting call in ÂÌñÉç! The series, which follows a young, Jewish, aspiring comedienne in 1950s Manhattan, became one of his favorite shows in 2017 – which compelled him to investigate this exciting opportunity.
