Lucinda Leach
Visual Arts Burke Tenure: 2005-2020
We are wishing Lucinda the very best after teaching 15 years at Burke, not to mention her years as a Burke parent (‘07). Lucinda has long been a driving force for the arts at Burke, and she led both the expansion and interdisciplinary integration of the visual arts across our school’s curricula. We will miss how she rallies the community during the holiday season for our annual communitywide art project, and how she helped us use the arts as a vehicle and tool for social justice.
Christiane Connors Director of Civic Engagement Burke Tenure: 2012-2020
Throughout her eight years, Christiane had a far-reaching influence on how Burke teaches social change and leadership. From helming the senior projects in the spring to leading the social justice “growth track” for faculty, from planning trips to West Virginia and South Dakota to integrating the social change curriculum into the classroom, Christiane has been part of countless students’ and teachers’ Burke experiences. Your passion for and commitment to equity are unmistakable.
