Alumni Learning Opportunities

Alumni learning 2.0 opportunities have returned as a member benefit for the 2022-23 program year. Recently, members visited BGE's Drone Training facility and met with members of their Uncrewed Aerial Systems Team to learn about this innovative program. Guests were even able to test out their piloting skills! Special thanks to the BGE team and fellow alum, Wendy Lenoir, LP '21, for helping facilitate our visit.

NBC'sToday Show recently featured a story about The Community Ecology Institute (CEI) to highlight the many fabulous efforts happening at their Freetown Farm. CEI was born from the passion of Executive Director, Dr. Chiara D'Amore, alongside her volunteers, including an LHC Community Impact Project (CIP) team, who have been there every step of the way from conceptualization to purchasing the Farm to developing a business plan and strategic thinking around program development and marketing. If you haven't yet visited this community jewel, plan to do so today.
