Kicking Off The 50th

KICKING OFFTHE 50TH

Thunder and lightning? Torrential downpour? Couldn’t stop Burke from throwing a bodacious indoor Block Party in September. From the cupcake towers to the balloon art, it was a joyous reflection of the vibrant Burke community, and an opportune time to announce our Stand with Burke Campaign. We are raising $6 million to renovate and re-dedicate Mooskin-Roth Hall (also known as Todd or Calvin) and solidify Burke’s financial future.

Following the Block Party, it was great to see so many Burke graduates (and Burke’s founders!) here for a special 50th edition of our traditional Alumni Weekend. We enjoyed a terrific party, complete with food by Oliver Friendly ‘99 and music by Chris Pestalozzi ‘69. Some alums even found themselves on the “50 Years of Burke” display on the Bridge!
