ALUMNAE/I EVENTS

Looking Back to Alumnae/i Weekend 2021

Alumnae/i Dinner 2021 in the Lovejoy Chapel with Catherine Doucette '00 joining virtually to discuss her book and answer questions from attendees.

A hybrid Alumnae/i Weekend was held in 2021. Alumnae/i joined us on campus for classes with students, hikes, lectures, memorial daffodil plantings, receptions, and dinners. Here are some highlights from Alumnae/i Weekend 2021.

Brett Kaull and Bill Ney, Class of 1980, at a special reception held at Rek'lis Brewery in Bethlehem, NH.

We were honored to have Catherine Doucette ’00 as our guest speaker for the Alumnae/i Weekend Dinner on Saturday, October 23. Joining us virtually, Cate shared with alumnae/i on campus and those joining us from around the country. She shared with us the background and process of writing her book On the Run: Finding the Trail Home with a selected reading revolving around themes of landscape, home, belonging, and adventure. Following the reading, she answered questions from the audience.

Catherine Doucette grew up in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. She now writes from her home in Pennsylvania not far from Hawk Mountain. Her writing ambitions were sparked at White Mountain and continued at St. Lawrence University. She went on to earn her MFA from Oregon State University and has been writing nonfiction ever since.

Hybrid programming included a presentation on historic gardens of the area and this presentation by Catherine Doucette '00 at the Alumnae/i Dinner.
