Letter from Alumni Board President

Letter from JASMINE TURNER

When I think about Collegiate School, the words community and connection come to mind. As a 9th Grader, back in 2007, I honestly couldn’t have imagined stepping into the role of Alumni Board President 15 years in the future. I am grateful for the faculty, staff and friends who helped make Collegiate an impactful experience. Saying yes to serving in this capacity is meaningful for many reasons, including the opportunity to give back to the place that has given so much to me. I care about our Collegiate community, and I want to see it thrive, grow and evolve.

As we start a new school year, our Alumni Board wants to focus on connecting with students and families. We want all students, especially those preparing for life after Upper School, to know they are supported. There is a network of people waiting to guide and assist them in whatever way they need. Our intention is to foster connection — connections between alumni, students and the Collegiate community. One of the ways we intend to bring people together is through our alumni student connection committee, which is new this year. The goal of the committee is to offer and highlight networking opportunities and programming. Please contact me or Anne Gray Siebert ’97, our Director of Alumni Engagement, to learn more about the many ways alumni can get involved in the activities happening on Collegiate’s campus.

The 2022-23 Alumni Board is composed of people who care deeply about this School and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to each of their roles. I am so excited to be working with our tremendous community of alumni, and I can’t wait for all the connections we are sure to have this year.

We look forward to a year of community and connection!

With warmest regards,

Jasmine Turner ’11 Alumni Association President
