CONNECTING Alumnae

A MESSAGE FROM THE CHS ALUMNAE ASSOCIATION
The Alumnae Association placed priority this school year on promoting connection among alumnae and working in partnership with the School on a number of events and initiatives . An expanded group of Association directors trialled new initiatives addressing a range of
interests and age groups through new event , communication , career and governance efforts .
Further collaboration with the CHS Advancement team , as well as the CHS Parents ’ Auxiliary , enabled a diverse and inspiring suite of initiatives that piqued the interest of alumnae from grad years ranging from 1958 to 2021 . In the end , the book clubs , career nights , jamming and baking , charity collections , golf and Pilates had woven over 200 alumnae more closely with former classmates , the school community and the broader alumnae community .
In June , the Alumnae Association Graduation Tea welcomed our newest alumnae , the grad class of 2023 . Congratulations to the Class of MVP ’ 23 — we look forward to connecting with you soon !
Young Alum and Alumnae Career Exchange events are encouraging our recent graduates to lean into the wealth of experience and connection our now 4,500 + strong CHS alumnae family can provide .
The 125th-anniversary celebrations and stories have drawn together alumnae of all ages and reminded us of the diversity , courage and creativity that we have to share .
The Alumnae Association and CHS alumnae look forward to continuing to connect with each other , and with students and staff , whether at alumnae and school events or through the Senior School Career Conference and Capstone Projects .
