Summer Alumni Social
On July 19th, over 40 young alumni who graduated between 2005 and 2019 met up at Harry’s Bar in Hamilton. It was a great chance for everyone to re-connect with each other. Some alumni were just finishing their first year at university, others were able to talk about exciting businesses they had started, and some spoke of their wedding plans. Going forward, BHS is looking for new and enriching ways to engage with our young alumni; through social events, mentoring and networking opportunities and continuing education. If you have any ideas on events you would like to see, topics of discussion we could offer, or speakers to invite, please contact
jbutler@bhs.bm. We would love to hear from you.
