ENL Alumni Return to provide Hendrick Hudson Students with Insights on the College Experience

Four Hendrick Hudson High School Class of 2024 graduates who were members of the school’s ENL program returned after their first year of college to talk to current ENL students.

This ENL College Panel, sponsored by the HHHS ENL and Guidance Departments, was held during lunch periods in the ENL classroom. The graduates fielded questions about how students can best organize their time at college. They discussed everything from dorm life to scholarships, how to make new friendships and how to choose a major, to sports, clubs and any challenges they may have faced.

“They were forthcoming about what they learned from their mistakes in both high school and college and spoke passionately about their career plans,” ENL teacher Deborah Levy said. “It was wonderful to witness recent graduates inspiring their younger peers to work to their full potential to fulfill their educational and career goals.”

Levy said the ENL College Panel was a great success.

“The ENL and Guidance Departments look forward to making this an annual event,” she said.
