The Pennington School Alumni Office hosted two young alumni and faculty luncheons this winter. College-aged alumni, graduates from the Classes of 2019 to 2022, returned to campus for an afternoon of reconnecting with each other and seeing their beloved teachers.

On Friday, January 6, two recent alumni of The Pennington School returned to campus to talk about their involvement with the Better Kitchen Sink project, an ongoing initiative to help refugees in Malawi have access to clean, reusable water.

“I feel like I can go anywhere, do anything,” says alumna Feven Negussie ’18. She just completed the Glacier Bay Year, a Tidelines Institute Program which brings small groups of students to Alaska for a six-month immersive educational experience. Negussie lived, studied, and worked in rural Alaska alongside five other students, bringing home a newfound sense of her confidence and resilience and a deep respect for the natural world.
