Springtime at Apogee means lilacs, daffodils, and lots of sweet-smelling leader profiles. On this May afternoon, what could accompany the beautiful sunshine better than reading more about our leaders? For this batch, we are going to start with Marino Leone and Erin Leddy who will be making their way up the steep slopes of Mt. Katahdin on
Grab your sunscreen and put on your bike shorts because this summer rock stars Trevor Shorb, Kate Lemly, Matt Monahon, and Jeanne Barthold will be heading out to Oregon and California on our Pacific Coast trip! With their students, our leaders will explore the majestic Redwoods, surf in Northern California, and ride along some of the most
It is almost May, and spring is in full bloom! As the weather is getting warmer, we are getting even more excited for the summer! And what could help cultivate this excitement than introducing more fantastic Apogee Leaders! We will start with Will Robertson and Lucy Brennan, two unstoppable leaders that will be heading down

Moderated by Hannah Gensheimer Happy holidays from Bates College! The snow is falling, the decorations are going up, and the caffeine-driven Bates students are filling the library. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, finals are upon us! Despite the fact that this is the craziest time of year for college students, I was lucky enough to be
By Hannah Gensheimer Turkey Day is just around the corner, and here at Apogee we love the stuffing (smoked oyster, walnut, and sausage, if you’re at Chad’s house – and feeling like leaving your diet at the door…) and potatoes that come with this favorite holiday.
