Grateful for the opportunity to give back and serve my alma mater in a NEW capacity, as a member of the CC Alumni Board (circa July 1 2025)!  The energy and excitement on campus during Harvest Fest 2025 / Parents Weekend was visceral -- and, inspiring!

Too many amazing memories and connections made through the College to count. Pictured is a sampling of the friends across class years and geographies who are still such a huge part of my life today. Shoutout as well to Luis Rodriguez who was not only my boss at OVCS but a friend and go to for any and all food-based recommendations!

Connecticut College has rewarded me with friends across so many generations. I gained organizational skills and valuable experience during my campus days, and credit Conn with making me a better human. Also, there is just no finer place to live and learn!

Conn made it possible for women of my era to think bold thoughts and express them. And Tom Havens taught me that history is about ideas not dates. Grateful isn’t saying enough

I am grateful for so many things from my time at Conn, but the most significant has been the wonderful friends that enriched my life and studies at Connecticut College, and that continue to add love and so much laughter to my life today. Those bonds of friendship continue to leave me thankful for the special experience I had in New London - not a day passes without a text from my "cc ladies" to remind me of my great luck at finding myself at Connecticut College all those years ago.

I made some lifelong friends at Conn...in addition to finding (albeit after graduation) my husband! Prof. Jeff Singer was an exceptional professor/advisor who solidified my interest in psychology; I still vividly remember traveling down to New Orleans with him and a few classmates to attend the APA convention and do relief work.

I had a great four years at Conn with so many awesome memories with amazing people! Top of the list had to be when my crew won the inaugural SAAC Dodgeball tournament! Sadly, didn't win the following year but still have my tiny plastic trophy
