Paige at the Longwood House with President Reveley.

I am happily staying at Longwood for another year with a full time job working in the Office of Alumni Relations. I’ll be doing event planning for the new Young Alumni program, as well as serving as the “curator” for the Alumni Museum inside of the new Maugans Alumni Center on campus. I’m so excited to give back to the school that’s already given me so much!
