The packed program kicked off with a "greatest hits" food menu, which the grade presidents helped to select. Members of the Advancement and Alumni Office distributed some classic swag, including Dalton laundry bags and pennants. 

Head of School José M. De Jesús congratulated the soon-to-be graduates. He shared the exciting news that Jodi Kantor P ’24 will be our commencement speaker and that each senior will receive a copy of her new book, How to Start: Discovering Your Life’s Work. 

Director of College Counseling Tiffani Hooper introduced Alumni panelists, from the Class of 2025 — Anysa Bickici, Izzy Marra, Mo Toure, and Zafi W C Dvorozniak. They answered questions about the transition from Dalton to college and offered invaluable tips. 

We’re grateful to Senior Year Coordinators Roxanne Feldman, Arlo Klinger, and Susie Lilly Ott, and Associate Director of College Counseling Andrea Velazquez, for their help organizing this program. Thank you to Alumni Council members Abbe Gluck ’92 and Emma Rothberg ’11 for attending.

Congratulations again to the Class of 2026 — we look forward to staying in touch!
