A DAY IN THE COUNTRY Alumni, families, and friends flocked to the countryside for Alumni Day at Boordy Vineyards, a favorite new fall tradition. There was live music, food vendors, wagon rides through the vineyard, and wine tastings. SU guests received Stevenson bottle stoppers. MUSTANGS ARE MOVING IN! More than 20 alumni volunteered at Student Move-In in August, sharing in the anticipation felt by new students and their families and reviving memories of beginning their SU journeys. Mark Moody ’18 took video of his fellow alumni sharing that they helped out because they enjoyed giving back the support that they received as new students; seeing for themselves the changes to campus; and witnessing the world of possibilities ahead of the new students.

Beverly Bareham ’01 was the keynote speaker, delivering words of wisdom gleaned from her own experience as a Villa Julie student.
