The Alumni Office recently caught up with Dr. Ritu Sahni ā85, who will be celebrating his 40th reunion this June. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Sahni shares how he met his wife on the first day at the University of Michigan, fits in co-hosting an EMS podcast, and still follows Greenhills soccer.
Lyda Ness Garcia ā88 has been a judge of the Texas 383rd District Court in El Paso since 2021. We had an opportunity to speak with her recently about her childhood in Greece, her familyās menagerie of pets, and how law school wasnāt even on her radar in college.
Itās not easy starting a new school in the middle of your high school years. But when Teagan Reese ā14 first arrived at Greenhills at the beginning of her junior year, she felt immediately welcomed by faculty and classmates alike.
Leigh Greden attended Greenhills from sixth grade through 12th grade and graudated in 1991. After earning his undergraduate degree and completing law school, he would go on to practice law, serve as an Ann Arbor City Councilmember, and work as Chief of Staff for Congressman John Dingell. Heās now Chief of Staff for Eastern Michigan University, working with the presidentās office on everything from finance and fundraising to enrollment initiatives and student government.
Young Alumni AchieversĀ As an incoming scholar and Division 1 athlete in track and field at Yale in the fall of 2021, Greenhills alum Makayla Harris thought her first year of college would be demanding. She knew the academics would be rigorous, and track and field commitments would take up around 13 hours of her week, so she decided against participating in any extracurricular activities her first year. But the successful student habits and study skills that Greenhills armed her with allowed her to more than rise to the challenge.
Peter Ross ā85 is a Brooklyn-based commercial and creative photographer with a client portfolio that reads like a list of the most prominent businesses, designers, institutions, and magazines in the world. But the first publication he ever shot for was Forward, Greenhills School's yearbook. The Alumni Office recently caught up with Ross to learn more about his journey from an earnest student with a used camera to one of today's most sought-after portrait photographers, and how it feels to be celebrating his 40th reunion next summer.
