ALUMNI ASSOCIATION | A Message from our President
’89
PARISA JAFFER
As the new President of the Alumni Association, I am deeply honored to lead this dynamic organization and look forward to building on the legacy of those who served before me. I want to thank in particular outgoing president Patrick McCurdy ’98, whose guidance and friendship over the years have been invaluable. The Alumni Association works to extend the richness of our Choate Rosemary Hall experiences. Just as we celebrated teammates’ goals, classmates’ performances, and friends’ successes, Choate alumni also share each other’s successes. Through both professional and personal support, we build the power of the Choate network and ensure that Choate continues to be a vibrant force in our lives. The refrain we heard at graduation, “Choate is not where you are, it is who you are,” is true now more than ever. One of my goals for the Alumni Association is to actively promote and support professional networking as well as mentoring and internship opportunities. The officers of the Alumni Association are pleased to share with all alumni some exciting new ways to connect with each other and the School.
