On Monday, April 25, The Dunham School held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Carpenter- Randall College Counseling Suite, located in the newly renovated McVea Quest Center. The updated college suite was dedicated in memory of Dave and Erica Carpenter by their daughter, Laurie Randall Duchmann, and their grandchildren, Ally Randall ’19 and Jackson Randall ’22.

Thanks to a generous gift from Duchmann and the David and Erica Carpenter Foundation, the McVea Quest Center has been transformed into a multifunctional learning and research space. The updated college counseling suite provides a modern, functional space where students can meet with college representatives and explore their future options with the school’s college placement director, Dr. Deidra Johnson.

The renovation of the McVea Quest Center is the first campus improvement completed as part of the school’s five-year strategic plan. To learn more about additional campus updates and capital projects, please visit dunhamschool. org/strategicplan.
