Congratulations to Bill Lewis, C’00, who has been appointed to the Alabama Supreme Court by Gov. Kay Ivey, becoming the fourth Black justice in the court’s history and the first in more than 20 years. A judge on the Alabama Court of Civil Appeals and a former circuit judge and prosecutor, Lewis brings decades of legal experience—and a Sewanee education in political science and economics—to the role.

Incoming Sewanee freshman Ward Richey was one of five McCallie School seniors who answered questions from their sixth-grade selves in a video that’s gone viral in the last couple of days and was featured on the Today Show. We’re looking forward to welcoming you to the Mountain, Ward! See the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2LQ7Omr3IU (fb)
