E&H in the City 2023 was successful because many alumni agreed to serve as coordinators. Thanks are in order to everyone who set up Facebook pages, reserved locations and served as charming hosts! You can see a link to photos from the big night, March 31, 2023, at www.ehc.edu/ehcity.
We’re already lining up volunteers for the event in 2024, so let us know if you’d like to get involved. Email the E&H Alumni Office at alumni@ehc.edu to get involved.
Emory & Henry College will sponsor women’s rugby as a varsity sport for the 2023-24 academic year season. This move aligns with the increased interest in women’s rugby on the E&H campus and its status as an “emerging sport” with the NCAA.
In March, the College hosted Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author Barbara Kingsolver (left) and co-founder of The Origin Project (TOP) and New York Times best-selling author Adriana Trigiani (right) in celebration of the 10th anniversary of TOP. The Origin Project is a program that helps second to 12th graders find their voices through writing about their family and regional roots. Trigiani brings in outstanding authors to talk with students participating in TOP each year. Teachers and high school students who participated in The Origin Project were invited to campus for the unique opportunity to spend time with Trigiani and Kingsolver. Kingsolver discussed her latest book, Demon Copperhead, a modern-day story set in Southwest Virginia. The event was a pre-event of the Virginia Festival of the Book.
