Parent Socials are a wrap

Shout out to the team of USNA volunteers and USN staff who made these parent and guardian gatherings possible over the last month.
By Anna Cramer and Joanna Hall, 2000-2022 USNA Co-Presidents

Over the course of the last month, parents and guardians from each of the 13 grade levels gathered on the Berkman Goodman Library Terrace to hang out with familiar faces and meet families who are new to USN. Special thanks go to volunteers Helen Jahangir, Audra Ladd, and Felicia Tibbs for organizing the hosts for these gatherings. And we especially appreciate the Operations Team and Vanderbilt Community Service Officers who worked so hard, including beyond their normal hours, to make sure that everything went off without a hitch.

1st grade — Emily Johnson
2nd grade — Clare Clarke
