July 2017

Austin College Magazine - July 2017Margaret Jonsson Fountain Restored
Hundreds of Austin College students have celebrated significant events of their college years with a “dip” in Margaret Jonsson Fountain at the west end of Windsor Mall.

Another Class Crosses the Stage
Commencement is always exciting for seniors and their families, friends, classmates, and faculty. The May 2017 event was no exception.

The Adventure of a Lifetime
From camping alone in the Great Blue Mountains, hitchhiking my way back to my hostel, sharing a hotel room with a group of Spaniards, and then traveling  with them to the Gobi Desert, I had the greatest adventure of my life.

Au Revoir to Dr. Marjorie Hass
Amidst the pride, happiness, and well wishes for graduates of Austin College during Commencement 2017, a bittersweet thread also ran through the weekend for alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends of the College.

The Momentum of Discovery
When Brittany Subialdea ’17 came to Austin College, she realized a dream as the first in her family to attend college out of high school.

John Hitt ’62: Year 26 as College President
John C. Hitt ’62 was honored in March for 25 years of service as president of the University of Central Florida. He and his wife, Martha (Halsted) ’60, joined the UCF family March 1, 1992.
