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.
Throughout April, the College celebrated National Poetry Month by hosting the Catherine Burns Larmore Visiting Poet Series with ecopoet Sherwin Bitsui and the Daniel Leidig Lectureship in Poetry with Pulitzer Prize winner Carl Phillips. Both Bitsui and Phillips are nationally renowned and award-winning poets. Each poet visited an English class taught by Professor Matthew Kelley, gave a poetry reading and signed broadside poems for attendees.
Thanks to the support of the Board of Trustees, Wiley Jackson Hall is undergoing a tune-up this summer. All 314 windows and screens are being replaced; fresh paint is going on the walls; new plumbing is being installed; and a new elevator will eventually be added. The hall houses more than 200 students and offers double and single rooms. The complex features a lower outdoor patio, fire pit and sand volleyball court.
