Just a Year Out, Already Back on Campus

Recent grads from the Class of 2025 found their way back to campus in the spring: Olivia Masterson, Graeme Plant, and Ella VanWiggeren, just a year out and already back to visit.

Olivia is thoroughly enjoying her Fashion Marketing and Communication studies at IED Barcelona, which she's finding effortless thanks to her passion for the field.

Graeme, who attended ASB for eleventh grade, has stayed closely connected with his former classmates. He fondly remembers experiences like ski week, RefugArt, and especially the Botswana service trip, which he called "the best trip of my life!" He's currently studying Business at Bentley University in Boston and spent the month in Europe visiting friends before heading back to the US in June.

Ella was also back in Barcelona visiting friends and the city her family called home during her IB years. "My whole family misses Barcelona and ASB," she shared. Two of her four younger siblings also attended the school. She's currently studying Marketing and Management at the University of Illinois.

All three share a special bond with Coach Javi, who, alongside Ms. Marta Vernet, chaperoned their unforgettable Botswana mission trip junior year. They reconnected with many of their IB teachers and were thrilled to hear how ASB's most recent service trip continues to build on the work of their cohort and beyond.

Thanks for stopping by, Olivia, Graeme, and Ella. Remember: ASB will always be your home.

Once a Lynx, Always a Lynx.
