Talcott Mountain Science Center and Academy alums, parents of alums, and former faculty and staff caught up during Talcott on the Road this weekend. Under blue skies with Talcott Mountain as a backdrop, folks traded mountaintop memories and made a few new connections along the way.

If you're a Science Center or Academy alum or parent of an alum and haven't heard from Talcott recently, send your updated email address to [email protected] so we can keep you in the loop.

Stay tuned for information on future Talcott on the Road meetups. We'd love to see you at the next one!

Talcott alums always have a home on the mountaintop ⛰️

Maqueda G. (TMA '24) is back on campus for Summer of STEM Adventures, serving as a Science Center Scholar.

Scholars like Maqueda have distinguished themselves in STEM-related activities and returned to campus to work alongside Summer of STEM instructors--setting up labs, running games, wrangling the tie-dye station, taking photos, and serving as role models for curious students on the mountaintop today.

In Maqueda's words, Talcott is "a place that you never truly leave." We're proud to have Maqueda back on the mountain!
