Two weeks, six send-offs, 2 alumni events, 2,000 miles, and one tech-filled Gopher Mobile later, we have finally completed our whirlwind adventure tour with Goucher’s Alumni Affairs and Development (and Admissions) Office.  What started off for us as something we jokingly thought about doing (“Hey wouldn’t it be cool to do Vagabonds this summer?”) has turned into a trip that ...

The gang has gotten back into our summertime groove. Alex is hard at work with The Intersection and will soon start Leadershape! We can’t wait to hear all the developments going on with his internship as well as other Goucher College students getting involved with The Intersection through the Community Based Learning course. Jenna, post-graduation, landed a job as Assistant ... Read More »

Stepping into the Schlesinger Library at Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute, you immediately begin immersing yourself in the stories of the past– exhibits hold letters infused with time-worn splatters of ink, ironwork and molding curl overhead, and the smell of books permeates everything.  Women from all walks of life and from all over the globe send everything from their tax statements to ...

Driving through mountains, fog, and lots of pine trees, we arrived in Vermont two nights ago with our thoughts solely on finding our beds and falling into them as soon as humanly possible.  I think this is probably an overarching theme of the trip—going to really cool events and meeting awesome people, and then collapsing into our beds and forgetting ...

The endless highway indicative of travel in the southwest granted me a brand of peace that I haven’t experienced since my childhood. With the landscape dwarfing our van it becomes pathetically clear that no man truly has dominion over the natural world. In fact, there is something sad about the occasional sites of industry that punctuate the vast fields and ... Read More »

Huge, green, and terrifying, The Green Monster in Boston’s Fenway Park intimidates even the most impressive slugger in Major League Baseball. But today, 2 Goucher Vagabonds and a Goucher alum stood next to it without an ounce of fear in their hearts (well aside from maybe getting sunburned or having a sprinkler magically pop out of the ground).  Thanks to ...

Along the way, we’ve picked up useful witticisms/advice in Boston such as calling things “wicked,” that the Red Sox are the best baseball team (if you don’t want to get yelled at), and that the Charles River separates Cambridge from Boston (and that the two towns are two completely different places). We haven’t been able to post in a little ... Read More »

Today, we got the chance to come visit my parents at my childhood home. My parents have always been so supportive of my move about 1,700 miles across the country and it was great to have three of my friends to see where I grew up. Better yet, Alex gets to stay with my parents because he has an externship ... Read More »

When I applied to Goucher College, I always had arts administration in the back of my mind. I had been volunteering my time to the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver since I was fifteen years old, but it seemed more like a hobby than an actual career choice. I told myself I had to study Economics, which probably lasted three ... Read More »

What happens when you let three college students sleep in on a Sunday after traveling and roadtripping for a week? They sleep forever. So after rousing ourselves out of bed yesterday around 11 am, we traipsed off to brunch in a cute cafe nearby to get our day going.  On our agenda for our last full day in NY was ... Read More »
