AI at The Episcopal Academy: AI in Education with Eric Hudson

50th Reunion Class Pen Pal Tradition at The Episcopal Academy

Each year alumni of The Episcopal Academy, celebrating their 50th reunion, receive a special invitation for Alumni Weekend. Third graders send handwritten letters inviting the class to campus for the special weekend and ask them to be their pen pals. Alumni write back with great enthusiasm and answer questions about their favorite recess activity (maul ball), favorite teachers (Mr. Greenwood, Mr. Baldwin, Mr. Harper), and what it was like to be an EA student 50 years ago. As the reunion weekend gets underway, pen pals meet in person where EA students of all ages learn how many things have changed over the decades, while many other special moments of an EA education remain the same.
