Alumni Connections September 2015

25 Scholars and alumni came together for our first fall reception in Denver earlier this month. Scholars were joined by special guests from Swire Coca-Cola, the Daniels Fund the Boettcher Foundation (who provided the beautiful venue pictured above), and Scholars Foundation staff.

We also hosted a reception for students in Atlanta this month. The dinner served as a great way for our college-aged Scholars to connect with Jamie Williams, our new Director of the Undergraduate Scholars Program.

Nancy Redd (1999) and Elizabeth Galbut (2007) were on HuffPost Live together on Monday, September 21. Nancy, a HuffPost Live host, interviewed Elizabeth, Founding Partner at SoGal Ventures, about recent efforts to revitalize the concord airplane. Watch the video here, and find them at the 18:40 mark.
