ALUMNI LEADERSHIP DAY EMPHASIZES CAREERS AND CONNECTIONS This year, the EHS community was excited to see the return of Alumni Leadership Day and Alumni Chapel. On October 18, James Lloyd '02, a Rice University and UT Law alumnus, spoke in Chapel about the importance of his time at EHS and how it shaped him and prepared him for professional pursuits. Lloyd's comments focused on three main points: first, get involved and start early. His experience volunteering at the VA and for political campaigns gave him a head start on his own run for Congress. Second, start small. "Be humble and demonstrate that you have a good attitude," said Lloyd, who credited his willingness to do any task, however menial, with opening the door to a White House internship. Third, ask for help. Lloyd encouraged the students to turn to the EHS community for help, both now and in their future ventures. Ray Balch, Lloyd's former government teacher, was one of the first people he called when considering a run for Congress. On October 19, the 2nd annual Alumni Leadership Day welcomed over 50 alumni back to campus to speak with seniors about their careers and the paths that helped them achieve their professional goals. Each senior attended two panels in a classroom setting before moving onto lunch, where students and alumni could have a more casual and personal conversation. Students and alumni alike engaged in lively conversation. Alumni spoke honestly of their experiences, what worked well and what required several attempts. Most importantly, alumni encouraged the students to plan as best as they can, but be prepared to be flexible and willing to take calculated risks. 15
