Our second Alumni Service Day on Friday, October 21st was a huge success! Many thanks to our Alumni Advisory Council (AAC) for putting this event together.

The Gateway Center was positively overwhelmed with the donations and is grateful to the Paideia community!
Alumni STEMinar with Dave Fergemann
A positive post-pandemic trick we have learned is bringing alumni back to visit campus virtually! Dave Fergemann recently held a STEMinar with Jenny Middleton '06 titled Reading the Ocean's Diary: Unlocking the climate secrets recorded in deep-sea sediment. Dave's robotics class got a visit from Max Justicz '13 to talk about his startup, Charge Robotics, which is building giant robots to build solar farms. Way to go Pythons!
World Games 2022

Way to go Pythons!
