After NOLS: The Evolution of the Alumni Experience

November 19th || 4:30 pm (MT) || Zoom with journalist, non-fiction writer, and NOLS alumni Kate Dernocoeur II The historical relationship between the school and its alumni group has an interesting trajectory, starting with Paul Petzoldt's view that he never wanted to hear from former students again. He insisted that they should just take what they had learned out into the wider world and be gone. Over time, the alumni group has become an important asset to the school. Let's explore that history through the years, to the current view of alumni as a rich resource of knowledge and connection into the world. Included in this virtual reunion is the irresistible urge to infuse a bit of historical story-telling about the man who, at age 57, started building his dream of NOLS.
