There are numerous ways to get involved with other Mountain School alumni and be connected to the School itself, whether it happens where you live or on campus.
The Alumni Office and the Alumni Committee work together to organize annual events around the U.S. and occasionally abroad. For several years Big Idea Day and Mountain School Where You Live were our anchor events in fall and spring. As of spring 2018, the Alumni Committee decided to put these events on hold while taking time to garner feedback from alumni about annual programming and consider potential new formats for events. Read the Fall 2018 issue of Beyond Garden Hill, the Alumni Committee's online newsletter, for a full report on this change.
If you have an idea for an event or would like to organize something, please let us know here. |
