Alumni Return to Provide Guidance for the Class of 2027

On September 8, our Class of 2027 seniors spent the morning with ASB alumni who returned to campus to talk about transitions and university life after high school. 

University counselors, Allison Davis and Shanice Kok Kamibeppu, guided the conversation, covering everything from choosing a major and applying across countries to what a normal week at university looks like and how alumni at local universities adjust to studying in Spanish or Catalan.

The answers were honest, entertaining, and full of real personal anecdotes. Balancing IB with applications, missing home the first few weeks, realizing year two feels nothing like year one, and figuring out who you are once you step outside the ASB bubble.

We are grateful to Alumni Relations Director Michelle Collin and HS Assistant Principal Monica Villaneuva for organizing the panel, and especially to our panelists for giving their time to the next generation of Lynxes:
