ALUMNI GATHERINGS

Ashbury alumni gathered for several successful events in the fall, which kicked off with a return to London, England. September’s reception marked 60 years of Ashbury events in London. After a two-year absence, alumni returned to campus for Homecoming 2022. Three years of reunions were celebrated, with alumni from the Classes of 1957 to 2022 attending the weekend.

Alumni reconnected for branch receptions in Montreal and Kingston in November. Faculty members Brian Storosko, Michelle Holman and the recently retired James McKirdy were in attendance in Kingston. The year ended with the annual Ottawa alumni holiday party at Metropolitain, where

110 alumni and staff gathered before the holiday season. After the holiday break, alumni and staff participated in the annual Winter Classic hockey game in late January at the Rockliffe Rink. The winter and spring months saw several receptions and meet-ups. Over 70 alumni gathered for a reception in Toronto in March at the National Club. Throughout February and March, alumni meet-ups were held in Washington, DC, Vancouver and Calgary. The final reception of the year took place in New York on May 4, the first in that market since 2019. Over 40 alumni and staff were in attendance for the reception and panel moderated by Victoria Shore ’07, featuring panellists Dr. Sam Chandan ’92 and Brian Storosko. AN
