An Enthusiastic Turnout at the NYC BIPOC Regional Gathering

Dalton was delighted to warmly welcome 30 alumni from the Classes of 1971 to 2018 to the Dalton BIPOC Alumni at the NYC Regional Alumni Gathering uptown at Oliva Tapas on February 15.
Alumni Council Vice President Wynter Lastarria ’11 introduced Chief of Equity and Belonging Johára Tucker who spoke briefly about the recent regional gathering in Washington, D.C. and shared that more BIPOC regional events are in the works. Head of School José M. De Jesús thanked Alumni for being there and reminded them about the importance of simply reconnecting as a broader community in common purpose. 

Mark Robinson '74, Raymond Smaltz '74, Desirée Pilgrim-Hunter '75, Anne-Carmène Almonord '99, and Jared Leake '91 spoke to the group about their individual experiences while at Dalton. They talked about the importance of having an active BIPOC Dalton community and encouraged alums to get involved by serving as a resource to other community members, providing internships, and sharing their experiences with families.

First Program Director Gillian Todd and MS Librarian Roxanne Feldman, and HS English teacher Will Fisher also attended. A big thanks to those who joined us, and we look forward to seeing you at an upcoming BIPOC Alumni Event.
