RECENT APPOINTMENTS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS AND DEVELOPMENT & ALUMNAE RELATIONS OFFICES JENNIFER STEWART is Brearley’s new Director of Communications. Jennifer, who started in July, comes to us most recently from Mount Sinai, where since 2011 she had served as chief of staff and director of marketing and communications for the Department of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine. ELIZABETH (LIZZY) YOUNGLING assumed the position of Alum Relations Manager in September. Lizzy began her Brearley tenure as a development associate in 2019.
One of the world’s preeminent modern choreographers and dancers, Lucinda Childs visited Brearley virtually for the Dance Assembly on October 12, 2021. Sharing slides and videos, Ms. Childs discussed Dance, her critically acclaimed piece from 1979 that her eponymous dance company was gearing up to perform at the Joyce Theater on October 19–24. The event was made possible by Kyle Gerry, a Brearley math teacher and member of Ms. Childs’s dance troupe who introduced Ms. Childs as the assembly speaker. Not the first time Ms. Childs has “returned” to Brearley, in 2014 she was featured in the Bulletin’s Brearley in the Arts issue, which highlighted her phenomenal and clearly unstoppable career, now in its sixth decade.
Congratulations, Jennifer and Lizzy!
