The Young Scholars Alumni Mix & Mingle, held on December 19th at Utica University, was a heartwarming celebration of connection and community. Alumni of all ages came together to catch up, share stories, and enjoy some holiday cheer. From the laughter and conversations to the lively karaoke session that wrapped up the night, it was clear that this event was about more than just reconnecting—it was about celebrating the bonds that make the Young Scholars community so special.

This is what the Young Scholars Liberty Partnerships Program (YSLPP) is all about: supporting and inspiring students to dream big, achieve their goals, and stay connected long after they’ve left the classroom. Since 1993, the program has worked to motivate talented students to stay in school, succeed academically, and pursue higher education while providing them with the tools they need to thrive. Seeing everyone come together for this event was a beautiful reminder of the lasting impact of the Young Scholars program and the vibrant community it continues to build.
