We’re happy to report that Alumni Showcase 2016 was a great success! We had just about 60 alumni from graduation years ranging from 1995 – 2013 volunteer to speak to students this past Friday about life after high school. Software engineer Mica Swyers (’04) talked about her decision to leave liberal arts academia for a STEM job. Austin Higgs (’09) discussed switching colleges and finding his way into a meaningful career supporting diversity and equal access at VCU. Kyle Healy (’03), a producer for The Late Show, brought down the house in the auditorium talking comedy and Colbert. Kia Jordan (’13), our youngest speaker, was an amazing representative for our recent graduates, poised and already dispensing valuable advice. We hope that hearing the perspectives of all sorts of different alumni added to current students’ sense that life is full of possibility no matter where the road leads! Thanks to our incredible alumni for giving so much back with such enthusiasm!
