My dad has suffered with Parkinson’s disease for almost 20 years and was also the biggest baseball fan I ever knew (we had weekend season tickets to the Red Sox and even attended the ’07 World Series). However, his PD got so bad that he got rid of his tickets because it was too tough for him to get around. As a result, I’m creating a partnership between MLB and Parkinson’s to raise awareness and, most importantly, research funding for this terrible disease. Anyone in the Suffield community who would like join me on this journey to battle PD, please feel free to contact me.

Being back at Suffield was an unforgettable experience. It was so nice to see a lot of my classmates that I had not seen in five years. My favorite part about the weekend was the bench dedication for Henry Thevenin. The words that were shared by his classmates and teachers were so sweet, and I know he was looking down at everyone with his big smile that day. It was also so nice to be able to meet other alumni and hear about their experiences at Suffield. Thank you, Suffield, for making it such a great experience for all!

assistant for a business statistics course. The knowledge, skills, and professionalism that I learned at Suffield, coupled with my past experiences at Boston University, paved the way for my success while interning at Deloitte & Touche LLP and Argopoint LLC (a legal management consulting firm) this past summer. Though my internship program at Deloitte came to an end in July, I am continuing my tenure with Argopoint. Each and every day I am appreciative and grateful to have had the opportunity to attend Suffield Academy.

amazing to see how so much has changed in only five years, yet it still very much felt like home. I particularly enjoyed catching up with Ms. McCarthy and both Mr. and Mrs. Vianney, as they meant a lot to me in my time at Suffield, and I hadn’t reconnected in a long time.

My third year at Boston University was definitely the most successful one thus far. In the fall 2014 semester, I earned a perfect 4.0 GPA in the business school’s most rigorous course load while serving as a career counselor at the school’s career center. Also during that semester, I served as the treasurer of my fraternity (Chi Phi), which further honed my leadership skills and prepared me to serve as the president for the 2015 calendar year. During spring 2015, I supplemented my duties to the fraternity and career center by becoming a teacher’s
I can’t believe we’re seniors in college, graduating to the real world this May! I’ve loved my time at Elon University so far, and I’ve decided to pursue a career in advertising in New York City after graduation. I spent this past summer in Los Angeles with an internship in fashion PR. The beaches, weather, and food were unbeatable! As for this fall, I’m interning in Durham, North Carolina, with an advertising agency called McKinney. It’s so amazing and makes me even more excited to graduate.
