Meet the new Director of Alumnae Relations, Mary Pat Nolan Staats Dear Alumnae, Greetings from the Office of Alumnae Relations! My name is Mary Pat Staats and on July 1 I joined the Baldwin community as your director of alumnae relations. I bring to this position years of experience as an administrator in higher education, most recently serving as senior associate director of alumni affairs at Lafayette College in Easton. My childhood home is in Louisville, KY where I attended Sacred Heart Academy, a private girls’ academy and where I earned a B.S. and M.A. in education from Spalding University, a private women’s college at the time I attended. I taught in a traditional second grade classroom for three years before joining the admissions team at my alma mater. Eight years later I left my position as Spalding’s director of admissions and student support services for an administrative position at Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame, IN. After 20 years at Saint Mary’s, I joined the Lafayette College admissions staff and soon became the senior associate director of alumni affairs. Now, five years later, I am proud to say that I am one of the newest members of the Baldwin community. I have been an active volunteer for my alma maters, serving as a class agent, planning class reunions, serving on the Sacred Heart’s alumnae association’s executive board and as the president of the alumnae association. I look forward to putting my educational and volunteer experience to good use as I support the Baldwin alumnae and parent programs and events. “She is excited about the challenge and has hit the ground running! I’m looking forward to forging this relationship and serving the Baldwin alumnae community.” -Shawn Lacy ’71, President, Baldwin Alumnae Association As your director of alumnae relations, I hope to serve as a helpful resource to strengthen your connection with the school and among your Baldwin classmates and friends. One of my priorities will be to enhance your networking opportunities, and I will look to you for your questions and “Mary Pat comes to us with over 30 years of experience in the academic arena. Former colleagues have praised her strong work ethic, her professionalism and most importantly, her enthusiasm for alumnae relations. I, too, am enthusiastic about her arrival and look forward to seeing her impact at our school.” - Head of School Sally M. Powell ideas as we work together to plan future alumnae programs and events. If you are in the area and would like to stop by to say hello, or would like to discuss how you can become more involved with the school and other alumnae, please contact me at 610-525- 2700, ext. 268 or by email at mstaats@ baldwinschool.org. In my first weeks at Baldwin, members of the community have embraced me and made me feel very welcomed. My new colleagues have thoughtfully introduced me to the Baldwin history and many of its traditions. I also have begun to meet wonderful alumnae who were willing to share some of their stories with me and help me learn the campus culture. I look forward to hearing from you the next time you are on campus, perhaps at an upcoming event or your reunion! Best regards, Mary Pat Nolan Staats D I R E C T O R O F M A R K E T I N G Anne Burns ’96 named new marketing director Former Director of Alumnae Relations Anne Plutzer Burns ’96 has been appointed Baldwin’s new director of marketing. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Anne has had previous experience in marketing and development at Philadelphia Magazine, a Philadelphia law firm, and the Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. She returned to Baldwin in 2007 to become the director of alumnae relations, a position she held until this past May when she became the new marketing director. “It is imperative, in these economic times, that we position ourselves in the most effective manner, the development of this new position will concentrate on doing just that,” said Head of School Sally Powell. “Our alumnae know better than anyone, the benefits of a Baldwin education, and it will be crucial for us to share your experiences, among others, with prospective students and their parents.” S U M M E R E C H O E S 2 0 1 0 1
