Alumni Spotlight: Scott S. Richards '77    

 

Scott S. Richards '77When I was asked if I would be willing to write about my overseas career for the Alumni Spotlight, I said, "You bet!...but wow, where will I start?" So here I go.

 

I LOVE my life! Most pointedly, I want to say to this audience that I will always be grateful to Webb for affording me the opportunities and building the confidence to live a life that I could never have dreamed of as a kid growing up in the suburbs of NY. 

Immersion and Excursions:

Webb's Semester Abroad Program 

 

Sam and Amy in Rome

When you tell people you did a semester abroad, they expect you to have lived with other American exchange students in a foreign country while frolicking around a new city, taking the occasional class or two.  Being with American students and taking one or two classes doesn't really sound like a full immersion into foreign university culture to me, however.

Great Progress for Parent Annual Fund

By Alison and Hal Granger P'14, Co-Chairs, Webb Parent Annual Fund

 

Scholarships

We extend an enthusiastic "Thank You" to the 46 families of Webb students, representing more than half of the current student body, who have generously donated to the Webb Parent Annual Fund so far this academic year.  Dollars raised to benefit Webb are meaningfully higher this year than last.

 

In a testament to Webb's enduring legacy, 70 parents of Alumni have also contributed nearly $34,000 to this year's Webb Annual Fund.  Thanks to Howie Frauenberger for leading that effort!  And thank you to Webb's grandparents who have shown their generosity.
