News and Events
The Hun School is set to honor the achievements of three distinguished individuals during Alumni Weekend 2024 and a Centennial Speaker event the following week. Find out why we are proud to call them Hun alums.
Susan Hendricks ’91 has had many roles during her storied career. From her early days as a local field reporter to the anchor of HLN’s Weekend Express, and now book author, however, it all goes back to something she heard legendary broadcast journalist Walter Cronkite say when he spoke at Arizona State University, where she was a student.
Mr. Cronkite spoke about “the responsibility of witnessing history, of witnessing stories, and the importance of a journalist,” says Ms. Hendricks. She was hooked, and went on to earn a B.A. in Journalism. A few years later, she was able to interview her inspiration. She keeps a framed photo of that interview with Mr. Cronkite displayed in her Atlanta home, reminding her of her role as a witness to history.
Another successful event in the [comic] books for the Digital Art and Animation Club! The 2024 Comic Fest was a night full of Dungeon and Dragon quests, Super Smash Bros, fandom, and endless opportunities for students to tap into their creative side. Featured activities included a workshop hosted by cartoonist Jamar Nicholas to a Q&A, a book signing with Marvel comic writer Erica Schultz, and a trivia contest hosted by Floyd Bennett from Final Boss Comics.
Gabby R. ’25 has been the president of The Hun School’s Gender and Sexuality Alliance club since her 10th grade year; she was recommended for the position by teachers who recognized both her passion for advocating for the LGBTQ+ community and her commendable leadership skills. In her two years as club president, Gabby has focused her efforts on continuing to nurture a safe space for students on campus and partnering with other clubs and affinity groups to highlight intersectionality on campus. Some of her proudest accomplishments are moments where she has been able to bring different communities together to recognize that everyone is more similar than different.

Moments That Matter
Experience Hun
At The Hun School of Princeton, we learn with joy, share in each other’s successes, and shape– action by action—a community where caring opens us to the best in ourselves and others. We meet our students at a seminal moment in their lives, when their sense of self is still evolving and their vision and capacities are beginning to emerge. We know that at such a pivotal moment, kind encouragement is as necessary as intellectual challenge.
