Alumni Volunteer Day Photos From Battery Urban Farm
July 24, 2021 in New York City

Fifteen alumni including Ad Walker f03, the organizer, spent a few hours connecting over soil and plantings at our first in-person alumni event since 2020. We are grateful to Ad, the dozen friends and family who pitched in, and graduates who came together to work on an urban farm which provides educational programming and produce to those in need.
