While visiting these institutions, various alumni imparted their knowledge and experience to the first-year students. These alumni included Jennifer Haines ’01, Peter Wisbey ’88, Michael Barone ’18, Nicholas Ricketts ’95, Marjorie B. Searl ’74. Additionally, students enjoyed connecting with local alumni at the Cooperstown Graduate Association Reception at Radio Social. Please see some photos from the trip taken by Professor Cindy Falk and Professor Katie Boardman.
