Alumni Panel Evening - 9 June 2011
The Alumni Panel evening was a great success ...
On June 9 we held another successful Alumni panel evening with two panels, one from the US and the inaugural alumni panel from the UK. The US panel had graduates from Yale, Dartmouth, Fordham, USC, George Washington, Smith College and Northeastern and the UK panelists were graduates from UCL, Kings College London, Edinburgh, Manchester, York and Warwick.
We received some great feedback from a parent of a Year 12 student:
“…they all felt that this kind of information was what they could really relate to..." and "[For the panelists] To take time off like they did from their busy lives to talk to a bunch of students with such
disarming candour and honesty was why, in my opinion, this panel was such a such a success.”
Our sincerest thanks go out to all our panelists for their thought-provoking comments and anecdotes. We look forward to welcoming US and UK alumni to Island School again next year.
Some of the photos from the event are below:
