Your Stories: Alice Lucas ’23 – Graphic Design

I attended Etown from 2019 to 2023. When COVID-19 hit it was a scary, frantic, unprecedented time. I just kept holding onto the hope that my family, my new friends on campus, and the Etown community would be okay.

I often think back to my first Etown homecoming weekend in the fall of 2019. My family drove up and saw me participate in the parade. We had so much fun that afternoon. Just a few months later the world changed. Etown was my home away from home, my safe haven. I laughed, cried, learned, and matured. Whatever roads I may take, I’ll forever be a Blue Jay!
