Friends and WC alumni Zack Shively '16 and Elizabeth Buechele '15 on a roadtrip for The Smile Project.

Happiness is.. an alumna making an impact!

4,411 days ago, Liz Buechele '15 posted a simple, happy thought on Facebook. "Day 1: Happiness is.. those perfect car rides where the radio just plays all the right songs." 

12 years later, her intentional effort to share a positive thought unintentionally started a movement, and an organization called The Smile Project.
