alumni welcome letter

Dear Fellow Hornets,

As your Alumni Board President, I treasure the opportunity to help you connect with each other and foster a positive relationship with your alma mater. Since the pandemic began, many alumni from across the country connected with us through our virtual events, alumni panels, and industry meet-ups.

We are proud of our robust alumni network and the relationships that started and strengthened during these distanced days. I am inspired by our collective creativity in maintaining connections to each other and to the School in the digital world during the past year.

In considering the safety and wellbeing of our extended Greenhill alumni community, we made the decision to postpone our in-person reunion gatherings until later this year or next spring. We recognize the importance of observing our alumni traditions together, as well as the value in being together socially as a community. We are hopeful that we will be able to do so safely in the not too-distant future.

Speaking of the future, I hope you received the information about Greenhill’s new strategic plan earlier this spring. The plan includes an updated mission statement, vision statement, and set of core values. Created with input from parents, alumni, parents of alumni, trustees, students, faculty, and staff, the plan is built on a foundation of strong traditions, loyal alumni and parent support, and amazing faculty and staff. You can learn more about the plan, Greenhill 2025: Growing Stronger Together, in this issue or online at https://www.greenhill2025.org/.

As we continue to build our community, we are looking forward to our Alumni Giving Day on May 4, 2021. Donations of all sizes add up to a huge impact for our students, supporting financial aid, academics, athletics, student experiences, programs, and more. Many thanks to those of you who have supported Greenhill through your donations of time and gifts, especially those to the Greenhill Fund, the School’s most flexible, unrestricted source of support for students and faculty.

Let's continue this amazing tradition of helping our students have access to the best possible education and experience.

May you and your family remain in good health and keep the Greenhill spirit with you until we gather together again.

Per Aspera Ad Astra!

Clayton Lougee ’03 Alumni Board President, 2020-2022
