How people around the Eccles School celebrated summer
Excitement is building as the first day of the new fall semester draws closer. As summer is coming to a close, we decided to take a moment to reflect on the commencing school year and took the opportunity to ask the Eccles School community the same question: What did you do this this summer?
The wide variety of answers showcases individuals holding the spirit of the Eccles values true to heart as they make their impact on the world in their own way. It’s been a successful summer, and we look forward to another great school year at the David Eccles School of Business.

“Throughout four weeks in June and July, I had the opportunity to participate in a service abroad trip through Help International. While serving in Thailand, I was able to become directly involved in the development process. Some of the projects we completed as a team included public health lessons, English lessons, water filtration pipelines construction, playground building, tea tree planting, rice planting and more. The most meaningful part of this experience was forming connections with the village leaders and children. I am so grateful I was able to have this experience.”

I’m writing this from the seventh hole at Alpine Golf Course in Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, where I’ve just birdied the sixth hole (this is extremely rare). My family and I are in the middle of summer vacation with my extended family, where we’ve seen Hamilton in Chicago (amazing, of course), attended the baptism of my new niece, and are now relaxing in my family’s favorite spot, Door County, Wisconsin’s peninsula. Pre-vacation, I spent most of my summer shuttling my kids from basketball camp to anime camp to theater camp and am now anxiously awaiting the first day of School – both for them and for our Eccles School students!
