It has been a busy spring and summer at Lawrenceville. The Class of 2016 has officially joined our ranks as the newest members of the Alumni Association. Congratulations and welcome! I look forward to meeting you at a future Lawrenceville event. Speaking of spring activities, I am happy to report that Alumni Weekend was again a great success. Alumni with class years ending in 1 and 6 celebrated reunions, joined by family members and friends. A total of 719 alumni, along with 457 guests, returned to campus May 6-8; a little rain did not deter these Lawrentians! This year was particularly special for me, as I returned to campus for my 25th reunion. During the weekend, I was honored to announce several awards and distinctions during the annual Alumni Association Ceremony. Joining a long list of honorary classmates are this year’s Distinguished Alumnus, Loyal W. Wilson ’66 P’05 ’12; Admirable Achievement Award recipient, Trustee Sandra C. Allen P’14 ’16 ’17; Selectors Martha “Perry” Nelson ’96 and John C. Walsh ’99; Alumni Trustee Michael T. “Tim” Wojciechowicz ’78 P’06 ’10 ’12; and Meritorious Service Award winner Albert D. Brown ’71. Congratulations to these deserving Lawrentians! Also during Alumni Weekend, the School launched its Lawrenceville Alumni Network app. This is an important tool for our community, and every Lawrentian should take a few minutes to download it. With the app, you are able to quickly get in touch with old friends, network with alumni in similar industries, and catch up on all Lawrenceville news. You won’t want to miss out! It can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play – search for “Evertrue,” type “Lawrenceville” in the search bar of the Evertrue app, and follow the instructions. Additional help navigating the app is available on our School website, Lawrenceville.org. Finally, I’d like to take a moment to thank our many alumni volunteers for their extraordinary efforts on behalf of our School. The Lawrenceville community is a strong one due in large part to all you do. Thank you, to all 736 of you! With your help, The Lawrenceville Fund had another record-breaking year in 2015-16, with $6,484,518 raised! Please don’t hesitate to be in touch with me with any questions or suggestions you may have. I look forward to another successful year.
