Visit CA’s Virtual Classroom with Abby Laber P’16, retiring English Faculty, and Stephanie Manzella P’14 ’17 ’19, History Faculty

What’s it like to be a CA student today? How have faculty reimagined their teaching practices during COVID-19? Join fellow alumnae/i for this lunchtime program and get a glimpse into two virtual classrooms.

Remember the energy, the curiosity, the eager embarrassment, the confusions and discoveries of English class? What might that look like in a virtual setting? Come and experience the dynamic space of the infinite whiteboard as Abby leads a close read of Ross Gay Delight.

How do you prepare students for the 2020 presidential election–the first ever of an impeached president? Join Stephanie Manzella for a conversation about teaching The Presidency last fall and hear how students processed the election turmoil, from revelations about tax fraud and Covid-19 to the January 6 insurrection, while also learning about presidential precedents of the past.

Wednesday, May 19 | 7:30 p.m. EDT 

Courageous Conversations

In recognition of the inequities laid bare by the global pandemic, the racial violence and unrest this past summer and fall, and the recent presidential election, the Community and Equity (C&E) team shared the framework of “Courageous Conversations” with new and returning students in programming throughout the fall semester. The tools and principles in this framework will help CA work through this dynamic and complex year together in a spirit of compassion, truth, and inquiry.

Rob Munro, dean of academic program and equity, and Laura Twichell ’01, interim dean of faculty, are pleased to reprise this workshop at reunion. We hope you will join us to see how CA brings the community into social justice engagement and the hard work of striving for equity that the mission describes. This work offers opportunities to reflect and engage and is accessible to those who wish to listen and learn privately as well.

The Student Experience: Life at CA today

In a year unlike any other, CA students have met the moment and in true chameleon fashion, adapted to a hybrid living and learning experience all while keeping CA’s traditions alive and well. Hear what it’s been like to be a CA student today – from living in the Houses, to chapels, meals on campus, and more. A student panel will be ready to answer your questions, and share stories about the CA experience — the spirit you know and love is still there!
