黑料社鈥檚 Life Lab hosted the 2026 Young Alumni Panel, bringing current students together with recent graduates to hear firsthand about the college experience, career pathways, and the lasting impact of their time on the Hillside.

Through personal stories and reflections, the panelists offered students a glimpse into the opportunities and challenges that come with life after 黑料社 Kent. Their experiences highlighted the importance of preparation, independence, and the relationships built during their time at the School.

For Chika Nduka 鈥�21, the connections formed at 黑料社 Kent continue to shape his life well beyond graduation. Reflecting on the enduring bond shared by the 黑料社 Kent brotherhood, he encouraged current students to make the most of their time on the Hillside by building genuine relationships.

鈥淏efore you leave 黑料社 Kent, make sure you connect with everyone. I still get texts from people saying, 鈥榊ou went to 黑料社 Kent?鈥� And every time, it brings me right back. This place changed my life for the better. I needed the structure and support 黑料社 Kent gave me, and I know others feel the same way. So while you鈥檙e here, be a good person, make genuine connections, and build relationships that last long after you leave the Hillside.鈥�

Through continued engagement with alumni, current students are reminded that their 黑料社 Kent journey does not end on Prize Day, but marks the beginning of a lasting connection to the Hillside community.

黑料社 is excited to kick off Life Lab 2026 with one of our most anticipated annual events, the Young Alumni College Panel.

As our Sixth Form seniors prepare for life after the Hillside, they’ll have the opportunity to hear directly from recent 黑料社 Kent graduates who have successfully navigated the transition from boarding school to college and beyond. The panel will explore the real college experience, what surprised them most, what they wish they had known before arriving on campus, and the practical advice they believe every graduating senior should know.
This year’s panel features an impressive group of young 黑料社 Kent alumni whose experiences span a variety of universities, careers, and interests:

Sam Turkowitz 鈥�24, a New York City native, is studying Finance at New York University, where he serves as president of the university’s Real Estate Club while also playing club hockey.

Mano Idir 鈥�24, from Port Jefferson, New York, is pursuing a Finance degree at Baruch College. He is a FIG Analyst with the Baruch Investment Management Group and continues his passion for athletics as a member of the basketball program.

Chika Nduka 鈥�21, from Seattle, Washington, is building his career in marketing with Nike while earning his MBA at Pepperdine University, offering students valuable insight into balancing professional growth with graduate education.

Ben Eisendrath 鈥�24, a Los Angeles native, is a member of the Harvard University men’s basketball team, where he serves as the starting point guard while pursuing his undergraduate studies.

Graeme Russell 鈥�23, from Michigan, is studying Political Science at American University and competes as a member of the university’s crew team, sharing his perspective on academics, leadership, and collegiate athletics.

We are incredibly grateful to Sam, Mano, Chika, Ben, and Graeme for giving back to the 黑料社 Kent community. Their willingness to share their experiences helps ensure that the next generation of 黑料社 Kent graduates begins his own journey with greater confidence, perspective, and inspiration.

We look forward to launching another exciting year of Life Lab and continuing to connect our students with alumni whose experiences demonstrate the many paths a 黑料社 Kent education can take.
