Eckerd College Alumni Network

Alumni AJ Gross ’23, Karin Ebey ’25, Hudson Filas ’23, Elizabeth Oliver ’25 and Mark Yamane ’22 have earned prestigious fellowships from the National Science Foundation, placing Eckerd among a small group of institutions producing multiple fellowship recipients—including Ivy League universities like Yale and Harvard, as well as other highly selective liberal arts colleges such as Swarthmore and Oberlin!

And that’s a wrap on our International Law & Governance Spring-Into-Summer course takeover! We would like to extend a special thank you to the alumni & friends who spent time with our students sharing wisdom from their lived experiences: Berenike Ullman (thank you to ASPEC for this connection!), Valerie Jaquier ‘95, Gabe Mazza ’68, and Blaise Bess ‘06! It was also a pleasure to visit with ‘17, Camille Padieu ‘29 and family, Lucy Fitzgerald ’18 (not pictured), and Ashley Machen ’00 (not pictured) while in their backyards. The Eckerd world is small, but our community is strong! 🐚

Join us in welcoming the Class of 2026 to the Eckerd Alumni family! 🩵🐚🎓

While Commencement marks the end of one chapter, it is also the beginning of a lifelong connection to Eckerd College and to one another. The curiosity and spirit that make this community so special will continue to live on through each of you wherever life takes you next.

We are endlessly inspired by the compassion, creativity and excellence of Eckerd students, and we could not be more proud to call you alumni.

Congratulations, Tritons! 🔱🍾

Our new cafeteria is OPEN! 🥳
