Alumni News: An Unforgettable Three Years

Asad Dean ’90 presided over his final Alumni Council meeting as President on Monday, May 13. Asad enthusiastically served in this role for three academic years – since 2021-22. Typically, a President serves a two-year term, but Asad agreed to serve for a third year since it was the School’s 60th anniversary. During his tenure on the Alumni Council, Asad created the Peer-to-Peer FWCD Fund Challenge (and his Class of 1990 won it two years running!), helped to revise the Alumni Council bylaws, and made memorable speeches at graduation ceremonies and alumni induction events. Asad is known for getting the crowd excited. His graduation speeches, which involve fun music, lots of cheering –and this year, a live falcon (watch the graduation video at fwcd.org/ graduation; Asad’s speech starts at the 2:07 mark), are legendary. He is one of the most spirited alumni around. As a parting gift, the Alumni Association gifted him with an FWCD tie and a one-of-a-kind FWCD plaid bow tie and pocket square.
