“I came back here to help the graduates by sharing my experiences and telling them how different and exciting the journey is going to be.” – Yuvraj Jaisinghani (’21)
It goes without a saying that when a student is becoming a graduate in High School, they are experiencing a spectrum of emotions as it’s hard to fathom that school life, as they know it, is coming to an end. And, who better to share their post-graduation experiences than our alumni, who have gone through a similar journey?
This is where the annual Senior Assembly comes to play. It is an avenue where our students can ask our alumni panel questions about their experiences and lessons learned as they navigate life after ISKL. Hosted by Alumni Engagement & Development Lead Kendra Jones with Nordin Abdullah as the Guest Speaker, here are this year’s dynamic alumni panel:
- Abhi Narsiman (’17), The National University of Ireland
- Anna Greer (’19), The University of Southern California
- Isabella Jokella (’20), The University of Toronto
- Thian Amarasekera (’21), Boston University
- Thomas Bogasz (’21), The University of Sydney?
- Amiiratu Muthia Wisasani (¡®18), Bandung Institute of Technology
- Sydnie Stout (’21), Texas A&M University
- Yuvraj Jaisinghani (’21), The University of London
- Bausch Koh (’20), NYU Stern School of Business
- Floris Gast (’20), Erasmus University College
Our panel gave sage advice on their transition during the pandemic and adjusting to university life as the world transitions back to the new normal, balancing new responsibilities, living far away from family, and staying connected to their international school community.
“When I left, I didn’t think I would be as attached. But coming back and seeing the campus, all these nice, happy memories were really special. It’s a sense of community that you never want to lose, and you want to guide your juniors.” – Sydnie Stout (’21)
“I think it’s a cool thing to do. I enjoyed the Senior Assembly when it happened to me. And I think this is an extraordinary year where you don’t know what will happen. People are going to be anxious about university and stuff, so hopefully, this will help them.” – Thian Amarasekera (’21)
One of the most rewarding ways for alumni to give back is by imparting valuable knowledge and inspiring students to thrive as global citizens. Echoing Sydnie and Thian, the Senior Assembly is an invaluable experience and creates lasting memories as the graduates embark on a new chapter after High School.
Welcome to the Alumni family, Class of 2022. Once a Panther, Always a Panther!
