I will never forget the excitement of that evening and the feeling of making such a monumental difference in the lives of deserving children.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Be a part of the celebration of 125 years of excellence at Etown by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSf0_mMHzsHhefJwHsHwLbLM8IO1xZoytdjv1-Tol6wceYio8Q\/viewform?usp=sf_link\">sharing your Etown story.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we celebrate Elizabethtown College\u2019s 125th anniversary, we\u2019re sharing the favorite stories of our alumni, students, staff, and faculty during their time at Etown.
