The celebratory event, which had not taken place since January 2020, was expertly hosted by Master of Ceremonies Jim Jackson '78. The attendees were elated to finally reunite and pay tribute to the inductees, while also being treated to motivating speeches from both faculty and students. Ashley Tidey, alongside Dylan Charney '24, and Staci Richard, accompanied by Thomas Couvillion '23, led inspiring presentations showcasing the impressive achievements of the Humanities and Science Research Programs.
