SolBridge Homecoming 2018: Creating Life-long Memories
This year’s homecoming was a perfect way for SolBridge
students to unwind from the long and exhausting week of mid-terms. In
preparation for the homecoming celebration, the Student Council organized
various activities like “Hollywood Surprise” where students were given
different treats to boost their morale during exam week, charity and free hugs
by Student Council, and Sol-Caring Volunteers all gearing up to the final event
on Friday.
SolBridge Homecoming is an annual event held every
spring semester that highlights some of its prominent alumni. Current students
get to network with the alumni as they share words of wisdom on how to thrive
at SolBridge and prepare for the world post-SolBridge. They receive first-hand
experience by learning from these alumni who exhibited excellent academic
records and received distinguished job placements after graduation. Homecoming was
also a great way for Alumni to refresh their social ties and connections they
built during their time at SolBridge.
This year SolBridge was thrilled to have Elena Chen, who
is currently working at Sol International School, Woosong University, and Oh
Soyoun, Associate Consultant ABLE Consulting share their experience with
students and faculty. They both shared their experiences about how to make the
best of what SolBridge offers and their journeys to their current job
positions. “Networking gives you the opportunities to meet new people,
influences you positively, and helps to build your confidence,” said Oh Soyoun
as she encouraged students to network. “Find happiness in whatever you do,
enjoy where you are and enjoy what you have,” she added.
It was exciting to see SolBridge students dressed up
as their favorite movie characters for this year’s “Hollywood” theme. Dr.
Endicott shared a brief history of “Homecoming” and how SolBridge homecoming
has grown through the years. “This is a great evening for fun, relaxation,
networking and forgetting about the midterms for a while,” Dr. Endicott said
while encouraging the students to enjoy the evening and network with the
alumni.
Students put together a great show with open mic
performances from Darina Starostina, Latisha Pinkan, Hanh Nguyen and Khanh Dau;
Music by our Music Club, and a dance routine by the D2 Crew among others. The
highlight of the event was the crowning of Homecoming Queen Charlotte
Souksamlane, and Homecoming King Amir Kamalov.
There is something about Hollywood that captivates all
of us, and this event did just that, from the food, performances, decorations,
the paparazzi, the glamor, and costumes made each and every one feel like
celebrities if only for one night.
SolBridge would like to recognize the SolBridge
Student Council for organizing and all the participating clubs for making this
event memorable.
