Following the morning sessions, students and faculty gathered in the Martin Theater to hear from Keynote speaker, and Dalton alumnus, Anderson Cooper.  The respected television news anchor received a warm welcome and spoke to the packed theater, including in his speech anecdotes from his time as a Dalton student, reflections on his experiences as a foreign and domestic correspondent, and addressing current news stories, including Super Tuesday, which took place the day before.  The audience was also given a chance to engage in a Q&A session with Mr. Cooper, leading to an informative and exciting discourse.  Mr. Cooper’s presentation was received with enthusiasm and praise:  Sarah Squire ('08) says, "Anderson Cooper was a fantastic choice.  He was funny, topical and very informative." 

Congratulations to the Curriculum Committee Heads, Tommy Evans and Andrew Swift, the entire Curriculum Committee team, and faculty advisor Lisa Stifler, for a very successful and educational day.
