New Association Connects Shore Alumni
In April, Shore launched an official Alumni Association to provide the alumni body with a lifelong connection to the school and to foster ongoing relationships within the Shore community.
“This initiative stands on a strong tradition and foundation of passionate and engaged Shore alumni,” said George Noble ’85, trustee and Alumni Association Chair. “For decades, Shore alumni have been demonstrating their continued commitment to and engagement with the school and greater community. Now, we are thrilled to be able to help even more alumni connect with the school and with each other in order to perpetuate the warm and caring relationships that have existed at Shore among students, faculty, and staff for generations.”
The stated goals of the Alumni Association include forging greater connection among Shore alumni and across class years, interest, and geography; promoting alumni engagement and voice; assisting in supporting the initiatives, values, and reputation of the school; fostering increased communication between school, alumni, and alumni families; providing opportunities for alumni to give back to Shore (in ways other than financially); and serving as a resource for the Shore community.
“A sense of community is in many ways a hallmark of Shore,” said Director of Advancement Katie Kozin, “and, ultimately, the Alumni Association aims to cultivate that feeling for alumni around the country and the world.”
The Alumni Association is lead by an Executive Committee composed of a representative group of graduates with a demonstrated passion for supporting Shore. The Committee meets periodically to discuss matters of interest to alumni, including alumni events, programs, regional activities, communications, and networking. The members of the Executive Committee are:
- George Noble ’85, Chair
- Taylor Chin ’11
- Edith Iler-Wiedemann ’80
- Nate Morgan ’08
- Brandon Stroman ’94
- Alex Yen ’08
Shore is seeking to expand the Executive Committee. Interested alumni should e-mail alumni@shoreschool.org to learn more and get involved.
According to Katie Kozin, “We are eager to see more alumni involved in the Association in whatever way they can. Alumni are encouraged to share updates with the school, look for future alumni events and programming, and visit the Alumni Association website.”
Shore Country Day School’s mission is to provide an education that inspires a love of learning and encourages children to embrace academic challenge. We seek to build character, cultivate creativity, and value diversity as we help our children become healthy, compassionate citizens of the world.
