Thanks for coming home

More than 1,100 alumni, families, and friends joined us October 9 through 11 for Tumbleberry's first Homecoming with graduates in the crowd. The Class of 2026 led the Summit Sunrise hike, and the Berry Harvest pie table sold out by noon.

My thesis started as a question at the Evergreen Field Station. Now I manage watershed restoration for the county, and I still call my advisor every month.
