alumni progams

There are numerous ways to get involved with other Mountain School alumni and be connected to the School itself, whether it happens where you live or on campus.

upcoming events:

Nov. 1 event in Brooklyn to focus on food systems and policy 
On Thursday, November 1, the Mountain School will host an alumni event in Brooklyn, NY featuring a conversation about food systems, policy, and justice with Emma Clippinger f02 and Curt Ellis s97, both leaders in this arena. Please join us for appetizers, drinks (cash bar), and an in-depth discussion about food issues in the U.S. as well as abroad. For more information about the presenters and to RSVP, view the event invitation here.
Seattle alumni event slated for Nov. 4
The Mountain School invites alumni to a gathering in Seattle on Sunday, November 4 (time TBA) generously hosted by Megan McJennett f89. Faculty member Ben Tiefenthaler (orchard manager and resident apple expert, Latin teacher, and chore master), who attended graduate school at the University of Washington, will be in Seattle on admissions visits and is looking forward to connecting with alumni and talking about apples! Come with your apple observations and questions. Additional details will be forthcoming, but in the meantime, save the date and plan to attend this fun gathering.
The Alumni Office and the Alumni Committee work together to organize annual events around the U.S. and occasionally abroad. For several years Big Idea Day and Mountain School Where You Live were our anchor events in fall and spring. As of spring 2018, the Alumni Committee decided to put these events on hold while taking time to garner feedback from alumni about annual programming and consider potential new formats for events. Read the Fall 2018 issue of Beyond Garden Hill, the Alumni Committee's online newsletter, for a full report on this change. 

If you have an idea for an event or would like to organize something, please let us know here.
