Rudy Brandl

Nov 21 2024

Dr. Corinna Crafton, Head of School, traveled to California this week to meet with W+H alumni at gatherings in San Francisco and Los Angeles. She provided updates on the state of the school and shared her vision for the future while reconnecting with some alumni and meeting others for the first time. Dr. Crafton was accompanied by Bill Jenkins, Assistant Head for Institutional Advancement, and Katie Vetland Picado '02, Alumni Association President and Development Assistant.

Matt Forman '07, a new member of the W+H Board of Trustees, hosted a dinner at The University Club in San Francisco on Nov. 19. Guests included Margaretta Mitchell ’63 and Dr. Liza Geary, daughter of Elizabeth Barwise Geary ’54.

On the next evening, Nov. 20, Dr. Crafton met with a larger group at The Henry in Los Angeles. Alumni in attendance were Charlotte Greaney '13 , Katie Vetland Picado ‘02, Scott Gibson ‘04, Brooke Selitto Heller ‘02, Sidney Daniel '17, Lisa Horwitz’89, Julia Linger ‘15, Mary McCormack ‘87, Claire Greaney '16, Sydney Johnson '20 and her mom, Karen Johnson, Matt Forman ’07 and Collin Howard ’00.

One of Dr. Crafton's primary goals is to re-engage alumni from all across the country and this trip marks part of the beginning of that journey. She's also visited Washington, D.C. and is planning more trips to visit alumni in 2025.
