Alumni Council Executive Committee plans spring meeting

The executive committee of the Alumni Council gathered on Jan. 25 to discuss the spring council meeting in May. The group took time to hear an overview by Paul Gallagher '64 and Director of Alumni Affairs Mike Ebner ’70 on the Class of 1964's inaugural weekend in Washington, D.C. (For more on this celebration, see Inside the Beltway.) Ebner also outlined the responsibilities of the council, which include staying connected to the school through regional events and contact with alumni; being creative in local event planning; and communicating ideas and feelings to other members of the council. The committee decided the topic for discussion at the council's spring meeting May 11-12 would be the senior year at PA. Three panels planned to consider the nature of the senior year at Andover, the transition to college and the transition to alumni status. After examining the issues involved, the Alumni Council was asked to share its own understanding of that critical year with the PA community.

 




It's reunion time

It's still not too late for all Abbot and Andover alumni in classes ending in 1 or 6 to plan to attend their reunions June 8-10, 2001. Reunions provide a great chance to re-establish ties with your classmates and reconnect with Andover. If you would like to participate, please contact the Office of Alumni Affairs at (978) 749-4287.

AAASC dinner at Cal Tech

The California Institute of Technology's Athanaeum provided the setting for the Andover/Abbot Association of Southern California's dinner and panel discussion on science. Nearly 60 alumni and parents attended the Jan. 18 event, which featured remarks by David Baltimore, president of Cal Tech and father of Lauren Baltimore ’92, and a discussion with Andover faculty members Carl Bewig, director of college counseling, and John Rogers, head of the division of natural sciences. The panel participants spoke on teaching science at Andover and Cal Tech and on the future of science in education.
