Transformations
Personal stories of growth at Eckerd College
Eckerd College has been transforming lives for 50 years, and, not surprisingly, many of the people whose lives have been touched by Eckerd, have poignant, inspiring and remarkable stories to tell about the experience.
This section of the 50th site is devoted to those stories. Please join alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends of Eckerd College by submitting a Transformations essay. Think about an event at Eckerd that had a powerful or lasting influence on you. Reflect on why it was significant. Turn your reminiscence into a story that is specific, succinct, yet detailed. Describe when and where the experience happened, who was involved, what took place and how it turned out. Be personal by writing in your own voice, in first person. Submit your essay of 200–350 words via e-mail to Cathy McCoy '71, College Archivist, at cathymccoy@eckerd.edu.
