Winter 2013 - Baldwin School

ALUMNAENEWSMAKERS
Julie E. Wollman ’77 was recently named the 17th president of Edinboro
University in Pennsylvania, bringing a successful background in higher education
academics and administration. She is the first woman to be named president of
Edinboro University.
Julie earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in English and American literature and
language with a minor in French from Harvard University in 1981. She has a
Master of Science degree in elementary education from the University of
Pennsylvania and a doctoral degree in elementary education from New York
University. She also attended the Institute for Education Management at the
Harvard Graduate School of Education.
She is married to Dr. Dan L. King, the Provost of the Massachusetts School of
Professional Psychology, and the Executive Director of the American Association
of University Administrators, a national professional organization. She has two
daughters, Sara Bonilla, 21, a recent graduate of Wesleyan University, and
Rosa Bonilla, 17, a senior in high school.
Emily Chesick ’77 and Marcia Reiver ’78 headlined this year’s
Alumnae Art Show, Nov. 11-Dec. 21. Emily showed intricate
landscape quilts made from cotton fabric, cotton batting, appliqué
and thread. Marcia works in the demanding Japanese-based process
of raku pottery.
Although they work in different media, a strong commonality runs
through Marcia and Emily’s work: nature. Emily, who has a Master
of Science degree in Forestry, celebrates
everything from National Park scenes to soil
structure. Marcia works directly in and with
nature: her pottery is made in the open air,
rendering her work contingent upon the
day’s weather. The pottery bears traces of
the specific atmospheric condition, be
it wind, humidity or temperature.
Each piece, therefore, is an
unrepeatable blend of intent and
circumstance.
Emily is the daughter of longtime
Baldwin science teacher
Elizabeth Chesick. Marcia is active
in BRAVA, Baldwin’s
parent-led arts committee.
