College Scholar & Alumni Winter Party

On Tuesday, College scholars, alumni, and SSP staff came out to the annual Winter Party at Mickey Finn’s this year. The evening began with appetizers and a presentation by Harvard Ph. D. candidate, Anthony Jack. Anthony spoke to scholars about his experiences as a first-generation college student and highlighted some of the skills and strengths he accrued throughout his childhood that helped him through his undergraduate years at Amherst and into his graduate studies at Harvard. His simple message highlighted his belief that there is nothing more beautiful than someone who believes in him- or her- self. If you weren't able to make it to the party, you can catch Anthony's speech here:

Following Anthony’s presentation, scholars enjoyed catching up over pizza and cake, raffle prizes, and dancing. Visit our Facebook page to see the whole Winter Party album!
