  • Evergreen alumni event at downtown San Francisco art gallery.

    Evergreen alumni event at downtown San Francisco art gallery.

    I hosted The Evergreen State College alumni gathering at the beautiful Wessling Contemporary art gallery in downtown San Francisco with Marni Sweetland. It was an incredible evening filled with connection, creativity, and community.

    We were honored to welcome Evergreen’s President, John Carmichael along with leaders from the college, Javier Womeldorff, Enrique Del Castillo Ramirez, and Caroline Bell who shared updates on the initiatives happening on campus. The gallery setting provided the perfect space to celebrate the arts, engage in meaningful conversations, and reconnect with fellow Greeners from across the Bay Area.

    A huge thank you to Tony Wessling and everyone who attended and helped make this event such a success! Moments like these remind us of the power of the Evergreen community, no matter where we are in the world. 💚
