Beautiful picture of Ms. Harrison and son. It says so much that is unspoken.

I missed my son’s first days at �ֲ��ý. He sounded enjoying every moment at �ֲ��ý every time I called, but I never imagined the fun he was realy having till I saw the slide show. It is a comfort he feels already at home, as he keeps telling me every time.
Thanks to all �ֲ��ý community and students for the helping hand you gave to Ahmed. I feel he didn’t miss the warmth of his hometown Alexandria, Egypt.
I long to see more photographes of those exciting �ֲ��ý moments.

Thank you for the terrific slideshow! What a creative and connective way to provide an alumni window into the rich range of emotions and experiences that arise as the �ֲ��ý campus community welcomes the incoming class, and as first-year students say “Hello” to their new home while also sharing a bittersweet goodbye with parents. These images evoke for me a deep and warming gratitude, as well as a humble-yet-fierce pride, that even as �ֲ��ý continues to grow, to stretch, and to evolve… our beloved school’s spirit of academic excellence, personal discovery, and service above self — endures!

Fantastic slide show! It’s nice to see there are some old traditions that continue at �ֲ��ý as well as some newer rituals welcoming the incoming class. �ֲ��ý is truly one of a kind. The class of 2017 is just beginning to discover what a special place it is.

Sanford was my freshman adviser. And if there was anyone who believed in my potential, it was him. I remember our playing basketball, one-on-one. Uh, he’s your man if you have fouls to give. So long ago, he pushed me through. And I am grateful.

Thank you for sharing these precious sights, my husband and I really enjoyed them reminding us the emotional and touching moments we lived when bidding “Adios, we love you…” to our Rosemilia, today a enthusiastic sophomore. Please keep communicating, it soothes anxiety, specially when you are so far away and input on what’s happening at school seems to diminish the distance. Blessings!!

As the mother of an only child who is also a freshman this year, I was particularly touched by the photo of Sarah Harrison and her son, Raymond. I’ve had several of those moments. It’s hard to let go, but great to know that my daughter is in great hands.

Please keep the communications and photos coming!
