I work as a telescope operator doing research for UASEDS (UA Students for the Exploration and Discovery of Space). For free time, I also play club ultimate Frisbee, representing a currently-ranked 8th national team. I look forward to coming home during spring break. I feel really isolated from Pingry and my fellow alums out here.” Dan Weiniger, a freshman on Bowdoin College’s Men’s Ice Hockey Team, was named “Rookie of the Year” for the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference). The third leading scorer for Bowdoin, Dan had 11 goals (4th all-time among Bowdoin first-year players) and 11 assists for 22 points, second among NESCAC first-year players. He helped lead his team to a first-place finish in the NESCAC regular season standings.
2009
Matt Ford, who earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT in October 2008, was honored for his accomplishment at the ACT College and Career Readiness Workshop at Seton Hall University on October 19, 2009. Less than one percent of the 1,480,469 students in the Class of 2009 who took the ACT in 2008 achieved that level of performance. Averill Morash attended Pingry’s annual “Back-fromCollege Luncheon” on January 6, 2010, before leaving for a 90-day sailing trip across the Atlantic. She looks forward to sharing more about the trip when she returns.
