President & Trustee Representative

My goal as Council President is to advance the Council's mission by strengthening relationships among Alumni and their connection to Dalton. In the coming academic year, one of the Council’s priorities is to engage younger Alumni – those that have graduated from Dalton over the past 10 years. We want to encourage younger Alumni to connect and engage with the broader Alumni community by developing programming that appeals to them. Dalton’s Alumni network, of over 6,000 graduates, comprises many dynamic individuals spanning a wide variety of backgrounds, interests, and professions. We aim to harness the power of the Alumni network to support our younger Alumni who will then pay it forward in the future.

 

The Council is always looking for volunteers and future Council members, so if you are interested in helping with one of the Council's many committees, please reach out to the Dalton Alumni Office at alumni@dalton.org. Lastly, if you attend one of the many Council events throughout the year, feel free to say hello to Wynter Lastarria, the Council Vice President, or me. 

 

Go Forth Unafraid!
