It’s these ideas and changes that are responsible for not only the students we become, but the people we leave the college as. We stand out in a crowd because of our ability to say “on second thought…” Our alumni, tutor, and student speakers, through talks which follow the “On Second Thought” theme, will share with the audience second thoughts that have either impacted their life, or the world.
