A panel discussion among CA alumnae/i with careers in the arts gave the Concord Academy community a chance to celebrate the creative work of its graduates during the 2018 reunion. Ben Stumpf ’88, who teaches computer science, film, and graphic design at CA, moderated the June 9 conversation with opera singer Colin Levin ’03, theater director Grady Gund ’08, architect Becky Seamans Egea ’93, and Meg Grasselli ’68, curator of old master drawings at the National Gallery in Washington.

It was a beautiful New England spring weekend ideal for reuniting old friends and mentors. This year’s reunion welcomed around 275 alumnae/i and former faculty back to Concord Academy’s campus for receptions, class dinners, panel discussions, and back-to-school sessions with current teachers. Alumnae/i had many opportunities to reconnect and explore the current campus and curriculum of CA — to look back to their formative time together and orient toward the future of this distinctive educational community of creative and critical thinkers and impassioned citizens.
