In the last couple days of the year 2000, as nerds debated whether we were about to finish the first year of the 21st century or the last year of the 20th, NFA Wildcat Aleeya Stewart prepared to turn the calendar into the back half of her senior year. That senior year ultimately launched Aleeya on a post-graduate academic career that earned her not one but TWO Masters degrees, effectively matching the education of all three “Red & White @ Silver” interviewers combined.

In this episode, learn how Aleeya’s life took her from Norwich to Baltimore, which of course prompted Ian to ask our latest Zoomer some Maryland trivia. She also shouts out several NFA teachers that made an impact on her, including some from her and Jim’s freshman year Gamma House.

Her name is Aleeya Stewart, and she’s a member of the NFA Class of 2001.
