A new academic year and two alumni worth celebrating! 🎉

Last Thursday, the Washington College community came together for Fall Convocation to mark the beginning of another academic year and celebrate the accomplishments of our students, faculty, and alumni.

During the ceremony, Alumni Board Chair Kate Lowry ’05 presented the Alumni Horizon Ribbon Award to Phaedra Michelle Scott ’14 and Billie (Ricketts) Brice, Ed.D. ’13. The award honors alumni who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, service, or scholarship in their fields and communities.

Congratulations, Phaedra and Billie! We’re proud to celebrate all you’ve accomplished and the continued impact you’re making in your communities. ♥️

Looking forward to joining Governor John Carney at Washington College on September 10 for the first public event of the Hogan Institute’s Distinguished Speakers Series.

We’ll be discussing the environmental legacy and future of Delmarva, and how we worked across party lines and state borders as governors to protect our shared resources.

This is exactly the kind of conversation the Hogan Institute was created to encourage: civil dialogue, practical thinking, and bringing people together to solve problems. The event is free and open to the public.
