Campus Notes

WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING AT BREWSTER ACADEMY

IT’S GOOD TO BE TOGETHER AGAIN

The Campus Notes section is your peek into what has been happening on campus since we last “met” in Brewster Magazine. That’s a lot of ground to cover, so we’ve pulled the highlights, starting with this beauty shot of the heart of campus, the Academic Building. On Christmas Weekend, while students were home snug in their beds, a water leak at the top of “the Ac” wreaked havoc on several offices, classrooms, and lab spaces. The damage was significant, but repair work began immediately and offered a chance to make some merry improvements, including a new lobby area. Stay tuned for the big reveal—all new spaces are scheduled to be open in the fall. There have also been three in-person Commencement ceremonies since our Bicentennial issue…turn the page to experience all the joy and meaning of those important days.

Special Note: Class of 2020

As we prepped the coverage of recent Commencement ceremonies for this section, we were reminded that your class was not able to have an in-person event due to the pandemic. The Events team is eager to work with you to make your upcoming 5th year Reunion in 2025 very special. Please share your ideas with the team at alumni@ brewsteracademy.org.

WORLD WIDE!

Diversity is our strength, and Estabrook was buzzing in April with what has become one of Brewster’s most anticipated annual events: Culture Night! Students, staff, and faculty prepared dozens of activities, presentations, and games to share more about their cultures with our entire community. The Dining Services Team also put together a delectable menu of international food, including Korean BBQ Beef, Chicken Yassa, Pork Adobo, Vegan Borscht, and Strudel—and that’s just naming a few!
