ALUMNI GATHERINGS FAR & WIDE
An inability to travel or gather has not dampened LCC alumni spirit. Alumni worldwide have enjoyed a number of opportunities to connect virtually and there has been impressive attendance at our various events. Here’s what we have been up to:
ASK AN ALUM SPEAKERS’ SERIES
Launched in fall 2020, the Ask An Alum Speakers' Series provides invaluable learning opportunities, as alumni from a variety of different industries share their stories in an interactive presentation. It is an occasion to celebrate and showcase the success and diversity of our alumni, and gives graduates the chance to come together without any geographical boundaries.
SPEAKERS HAVE INCLUDED: (Photo 1) Jeffrey Bernstein ’96, Design Director, Apple; (Photo 2) James Piccoli ’08, Pro Cyclist; (Photo 3) Madeleine Ballard ’06 (Pre-U ’07), Executive Director of the Community Health Impact Coalition; (Photo 4) Maryam Saleh ’96 (Pre-U ’97), Executive Director of the Ed Kaplan Family Institute for Innovation and Tech Entrepreneurship, Illinois Institute of Technology; (Photo 5) Tariq Khan ’98, Record Producer, Entrepreneur & Philanthropist; (Photo 6) Stephen Hamilton ’78, Judge, Quebec Court of Appeal; and (Photo 7) Pierre McGuire ’78, Hockey Analyst, TSN/Sports Illustrated/NBC Sports.
NON NOBIS SOLUM LUNCH
The Non Nobis Solum lunch is a long-standing tradition of Montreal-area alumni. Each month, alumni from the graduating classes from the 1930s through the 1970s are invited to join. Even the pandemic couldn’t stop these enthusiastic grads who held a virtual version of the NNS Holiday Lunch in December. While nothing can replace being together in person, it was nice to see everyone online and catch up. All are looking forward to being in person for the next lunch together.
ALL-CANADIAN ALUMNI WINE TASTING
Nearly 50 alumni from across Canada gathered for a Virtual Wine Tasting Event, hosted by Carl’s Wine Club and showcasing wine from Ontario’s 13th Street Winery. What a lovely way to learn about some beautiful Canadian wines and spend time with alumni across the country.
