ALUMNI NEWSLETTER

May 19, 2022

I recently stumbled across a sweet quote from Dr. Seuss that caused me to pause, “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” In the hectic pace of our world today, it can be easy to forget to stop and reflect on the meaningful friendships and experiences that helped shape who we are today. In that spirit, we would like to thank everyone who took time from their busy lives to visit campus during Alumni Weekend. To those who have been unable to connect with Forman, we look forward to seeing you soon!

Sincerely,

Heather Ford

Director of Parent and Alumni Programs

Alumni Weekend

While the weather may have been dreary, spirits were high as many alumni were able to come home and celebrate reunion weekend on campus! It was great to see friends and classmates connect and reminisce about their days on campus. We hope you enjoy the photos from the weekend.

Athletic Hall of Fame

We were pleased to induct Lawrence S. Culleton ’65 and Lindsey E. Watkins ’11 into the 2022 Forman Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday, May 7th. View photos from the ceremony here.

Remembering Those We Lost

On Sunday, May 8th, we honored those alumni, faculty, staff, and trustees we lost over the past three years since we have been unable to gather since 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a beautiful, heartfelt program where special memories were shared.

Alumni, past parents, and trustees joined us for a fun evening in April at Gallaghers Steakhouse in New York City. A special thank you to our hosts, Linda and Dean Poll P’16 with James Poll ’16, for their hospitality and generosity. Click here to view pictures from the event.
