On Campus Terrace Dedication: Ben Rego ’07 On November 14, 2015, Suffield welcomed Ben Rego ’07 and his family back to campus for the dedication of the Rego Terrace. Located just outside the new entrance to Brewster Hall, the Rego Terrace serves as a central location for the Suffield community to convene outside of the student union and dining room. In response to the dedication Ben said, “I would like to thank Suffield Academy for bestowing this incredible honor on me with the naming of Rego Terrace on Stiles Walk. With this being the new center of campus, Bermudians should be immensely proud to have this presence and legacy here at Suffield Academy. I am so very grateful for the support of my family in this endeavor and look forward to continuing my strong connection with Suffield in the many exciting years to come.” Ben was joined by his father Buddy Rego and wife Jenny Rego, his mother Jenny West and her husband Andrew, as well as his grandparents, Allan and Gillian Gray. On campus for the first time since Ben’s commencement in 2007, the family enjoyed a campus tour followed by a luncheon in Cone Lounge with Headmaster Charles Cahn III, Phil Riegel ’87, Amy and Chris Pentz, and classmate Harry Melendez III ’07. In addition to this most recent contribution to Suffield, Ben has served on the Alumni Council of Advisors, is a strong supporter of Suffield’s boys’ squash program, and has aided Harry in coordinating alumni events in Boston and Bermuda.

Koo Family Dining Room The renovated and expended dining room in Brewster Hall was named in honor of Andre and Jana Koo, parents of Andre Jr. ‘14. They generously supported the construction project. Andre Jr. studied at Suffield for three years and now attends New York University’s Stern School of Business. The Koos are grateful for the role Suffield played in their son’s life, and Andre Jr. recently visited campus to see his former teachers. Andre said, “Jana and I think Charlie Cahn played a crucial role in our son’s development at a vital time in his life, and we want to support his vision for the school. We are happy we could help transform Brewster Hall into a multidimensional, high quality space at Suffield.”
