MEET BEN PASTOR P'27, '29

Rumsey Hall's Director of Advancement

Ben Pastor P'27, '29, a veteran independent school advancement officer, recently joined the Rumsey team as the Director of Advancement. Previously, Ben led the advancement programs at Branson School in California and The Community School of Naples in Florida.

Ben began his advancement career at The Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut, from where he is also an alumnus. As the Assistant Director of Development, Ben served on the major gifts team and he and his wife, Ledlie Mosch ’92, ran multiple dorms on campus.

“I am so thrilled to be joining the Rumsey Hall community. My family has a long history with Rumsey: my father-in-law, Woody Mosch, was in the class of 1962; my wife, Ledlie, was in the class of 1992; my brother-in-law, Carter, was in the class of 1997; and my nephew, Jack, is a rising Pre-Prime. My daughters will be attending Rumsey in the Primes and IInd Form classes. The school—through its incredible faculty and staff—has been transformative for my family. I could not be more excited to be a part of the team to make this possible for future generations of Rumsey students. I look forward to meeting current families and alumni on campus this fall.”

Rumsey Trivia: Where did Blue Dogs originate from?

Did you know, that up until 2000, we were known as the Red Raiders? When it came time to reevaluate our mascot at the turn of the century, we realized a dog has always been a part of our crest...and the legendary Blue Dogs came into being.
