Herricks Alumni ECS-Casts ecsalumnipodcasts

Bringing people together. It’s not always easy to do, but for Jordan Magid, it’s a love that has grown into countless unique opportunities. In this episode, join Nikita, Rhea and Mr. Magid through a journey of seeing interests come to life in companies, startups, and other experiences. If you’re worried about the future or where things will go, this one’s for you—and remember to follow your nose.

Just do it. Nike, and the world, tell us to just go for our passions and dreams. But when you’re like Mara Jill Herman and have a path that puts you in positions of failure and rejection, it’s not always easy. In this episode, join Rhea and Ms. Herman on a journey through the worlds of acting, educating, writing, producing, and advocating. And even when things don’t work out as planned, remember, you can do it.

Failure. It’s something nobody likes, but something everybody has to go through at some point. For Ms. Laura Ahrens, what seemed like a failure turned into a whole new world of opportunity. In this episode, join Shubh and Ms. Ahrens for a trip down memory lane through the arts and yoga. If you’re worried about things falling apart — this one’s for you — because they’ll always come back together.

We explored public policy before, but here’s another perspective of a field relevant to society in ways both big and small. On this episode, join Hubert and Ms. Sarika Saxena to see Herricks from the view of another alumna. If you’re unsure about how high school can connect to your next steps, or you have an interest in immigration policy and law, or both, we hope you learn more about Herricks — and just how influential high school can be.

From Herricks to fashion. It’s definitely possible and in the case of Ms. Julia Ahrens, it’s good for the planet too. On the second episode of the Herricks Alumni ECS-cast series, join Aveena and Ms. Ahrens to see Herricks as a platform for the arts. If you have a passion in the arts, fashion design, sustainability, or business, we hope you see the artsy side of Herricks — and how high school experiences can help improve the planet.

As a high schooler, you probably wonder(ed) at some point: what happens next? On the premiere episode of the Herricks Alumni ECS-cast series, join Rhea and Mr. Vivek Viswanathan to see Herricks through the lens of an alumnus. If life beyond Herricks is a big unknown to you, or you have an interest in public policy, or both, maybe you'll learn a little something about our school and opportunities — and pick up some life lessons along the way.
