MS2 Reunion (MS)2 Class of ’95 Celebrates 20th Reunion Ten members of the Mathematics and Science for Minority Students Class of 1995—rising 11thgraders when they graduated from PA’s three-summer outreach program—returned to campus July 10–12 for their 20-year reunion. From left are Sue Damaris Rodríquez, Angele Arthur, Jamila Perritt, Christal Joy Forgenie, Marcus Austin, Jesús Beltran, George Williams, and Bernice Howse Middleton. Not pictured: Kristina Halona and Dionne Nickerson. The alums joined current (MS)2 students for a mentorship lunch; attended the program’s popular Cultural Sharing performance, during which they announced a series of fundraising goals for their class; and challenged third-year students to a volleyball match. “I loved the current students and could see myself in many of them,” said Rodríguez. “My classmates and I look forward to building a network for all (MS)2 classes and creating a fund to help the program.” Rodríguez and friends are already planning for their 25th reunion in 2020.
Alumni Trustee Election in Spring In spring 2016, the Andover alumni body will have the opportunity to elect two alumni to serve on the Board of Trustees for four-year terms beginning July 1, when the terms of Rejji P. Hayes ’93 and Marjorie Wellin King ’75 expire. The Executive Committee of the Alumni Council will nominate four alumni to stand for election, and additional alumni may be nominated upon receipt by the director of Alumni Engagement of petitions signed by a minimum of 100 alumni for each candidate. Ballots will be e-mailed to alumni in the spring and mailed to those without e-mail. For more information, please contact Dick Howe, associate director of Alumni Engagement, at 978-749-4280 or rhowe@andover.edu.
