Faculty and Staff Introductions and Transitions With each school year, we welcome new colleagues and support returning colleagues in new roles. Both instantly enrich the community with their new energy, ideas, and perspectives. We also wish happiness and success to colleagues who moved on to retirement and other pursuits.
INTRODUCTIONS Soma Choudhury Soma Choudhury joined Fenn last summer as our new registrar. She hails most recently from a similar position at Vedanta Life Academy and held prior roles as a teacher trainer at Modern Montessori International and executive assistant to the business manager at American Embassy School, both in New Delhi, India. Dominic Dipersia In October, Dominic Dipersia dove enthusiastically into life at Fenn in his new role as assistant director of marketing & communications. Prior to Fenn, Dom
served for three years as a communications analyst at Fidelity Investments and for nearly an equal stint of time as a communications coordinator and three-season coach at Bancroft School in Worcester, MA. Dom’s passion for coaching has been put to good use at Fenn, as he assisted with JV Soccer this fall, coached Thirds Basketball, and will coach Varsity Tennis this spring. Joanna Dunn An artist and art educator, Joanna Dunn joined Fenn as our new ceramics teacher this year. She is most passionate about helping Fenn boys connect to their intellectual and emotional growth through art. Joanna most recently co-directed and taught at the Sugarhill Art Center, following
positions at Pinecones and Needles in Belmont, MA, Mass College of Art, Rhode Island College, and North Park College in Chicago, IL. Alison Flanagan We were thrilled to welcome Alison Flanagan back to Fenn to become our new administrator of health services. During a recent four-year span, Alison had served as a substitute nurse at Fenn. She offers deep experience in schools—Groton School and Nashoba Brooks School, among them—as well as other institutions and organizations in and around Concord, and she has played a vital role in helping to guide Fenn’s COVID management strategy and practices to keep the community healthy and safe.
A GRATEFUL COMMUNITY “Thank you for helping us in these hard times!” “COVID can’t keep you down!” These are among the sentiments that our Lower School students conveyed in creative and colorful cards and notes that their class senators delivered to Mrs. Flanagan in the Health Office this winter. They now adorn the hallway outside her office, echoing the gratitude of the larger Fenn community for her tireless work helping to keep the community healthy and safe in the face of COVID while supporting the various other health needs that arise during action-packed days at Fenn.
