34 Alumni News & Events From the President of the Alumni Board of Governors OUTREACH fall 2007 As we began the 2007-08 academic year, the alumni board of governors welcomed Donald M. Austin, our new head of school, to the Newark Academy family. At Convocation, the board of governors committed itself to helping Don learn our history and culture. During the coming year, we will work to connect him to the more than 5,000 Academy alumni – from our oldest in the Class of 1927 to the most recent graduates in the Class of 2007. At Reunion/Homecoming, the board of governors celebrated the achievements of Madeline Vasquez ’77 with the Alumni Achievement Award, Jeffrey Silverman ’82 with the Fulton MacArthur Award, Pat Ciccone ’62 with the Athletic Hall of Fame Award, and Joe Borlo with the Distinguished Faculty Award. All four individuals, once again, represent the best that Newark Academy has to offer. Last June, the board welcomed its newest members – John Bess ’69, Noah Franzblau ’86, John Gregory ’99, Mark Menza ’71, Lara Samet ’01 and Kim Griffinger Wachtel ’85. These alums bring new energy and perspective to the work of the board and will help the governors in their efforts to create a more dynamic and vibrant alumni community. The board of governors thanks everyone who helped make last year’s Minuteman Golf Invitational a great success. Proceeds from the Invitational have been designated to the faculty fund in the Academy’s endowment. This fund is used to assist faculty study for masters’ and doctorate degrees, engage in continuing education programs and pursue experiential learning opportunities through sabbaticals. We are proud to announce that, since 2004, more than $150,000 has been raised for the faculty fund. Your continued support is essential as the board of governors works toward its goal of $500,000 by 2012. Plan to join us at the 2008 Golf Invitational to support the Academy’s faculty. In the coming year, we hope to see you at various alumni events in the greater New York area and at other events across the country to renew friendships, to bring you news of the accomplishments of students and staff, and to provide information about the focus and direction of the Academy.

Five new members were welcomed to the board: John Bess ’69, Noah Franzblau ’86, John Gregory ’99, Mark Menza ’71 and Lara Samet ’01. One of the evening’s highlights included a special presentation to former Head of School Penney Riegelman.
