ALUM BENEFIT The Benefits of Alumnae/i Engagement NCAA interviews outgoing Alum Coordinator Claire Michelsen (2008-2009), who re flects on the Alumnae/i Association, the Alum Coordinator position, and the benefits of continued alum engagement CAA: Why u ere you fir t interested in the po ition? M: I first heard about the Alum Coordinator poition from my friend, alumna Holly Lilli. 3, who wa, the fir t person to hold the position ju t l\'er two year ago. ln corwer arion with her during my la. t year a a ew allege snrdent, I learned that alumnae/ i continue to engage with ew olleg in many ways not ju 'tat P P and Reunion Weekend_ Holly and l would often eli, uss the experien e of being a recent graduate, and eventually dis ussed CAA's po t-graduation engagement. In my fifth year at F, I wa beginning to get nervou about my post-gradu ation transition. Thinking about the po ition, l took a closer look at CAA and talked with Holly about her feelings about the importance of the Alumnae/ i As ociation. I never thought the fir t way I would reconnect with ew Col lege a a graduat would be a an employee! In the end, I think I applied because ew College waand remain important to me and CAA i a place where I could hdp keep ew College culture alive, as well a learning new kilL and profe ionali m to aid my tran ition from academic to profes sional life. (Aith )Ugh, looking back, I think I didn't actually know what l wa in for.) NCAA: Wlw.t tms the most significant or Claire Michelsen '03 t aluable experience you't e lw.d as Alum Coordinator! M: I have to ay that over the cour e of the year, I wa sur pri ed by the significance of CAA' pre ence in o many impor tant programs. Ultimately, I have been impacted the mo t by the breadth and scope of CAA's program many of which imul tancou ly benefit tudents, alum and the college it elf. Perhaps the mo t tangible and moving experien e I hac.l were CAA's "Coffee Talks," which arc part of the Mentoring Program. l had the pleasure of meeting many amazing alums who came back to campus to talk with small groups of mdcnts about their paths after New College. Every alum wa uniquely in piring and I loved hearing their torie and candid advice. I felt o proud of cw College, but also o grateful to the alum for baring and offering opportunitie to student But I was more moved by the tudents' enthusia tic appreciation. After these talks, tudents ll IMBl l R expressed the importance to them of hearing about the path of a ucce ful alum in the careers they plan on pur uing. CAA : Why should alums stay involved with ew College and the Alumnae / i Associatwn? CM: Continuing to engage with the college, CAA, faculty, and current tudents i what make ew College more than a past experience u eful for no talgic remembrance. Beyond keep ing ew College alive, engaging with CF show alum what their n w relation hip with the college can be. I think many young alums feel that they are cut off after four or five years of inten e connection with the community they felt so supported by. And while the relation hip between al um and the college is nece sarily different than that of current students, CAA offers both an avenue for young alum to eek upport for their careers and a way to keep a en e of community with ew Colleg Additionally, the chool i hanging and growing and many alum have experienced how continued contact, donating time, and donating money allows them to give input and enjoy participating in the suc ce of an important institution as it grows. CAA: How has working as Alum Coordinator slw.ped your future? CM: I will never take AA or ew College for granted! I will alway appreciate the ervice and program that theN AA board and office provide, which are ever-improving. I've been deeply shaped by working for a non-profit who e pur poe i to upport the in titution that just allowed me to have uch wonderful educational opportunitie and continued to as sist me after graduation by guiding me through the Fulbright application proces Working in the Foundation and at M, l learned about the many ways alum have used their experi ence at ew College to make new path and careers that are both socially and per onally meaningful. But I've al o learned that it i continuing alum engagement, am ng other things, that en ure that ew College remain::; the uniquely tran formatiYe in. titution that it wa for o many. I want to tay involved with my alma mater-to continue the benefit of that engagement, and, importantly, to give back!

ION WEEKE Reflections From Reunion Weekend 2009 By Ray Burgman '91, NCAA Board Member When I vi ired the ew College campu in the spring of 1991, I wa amazed at how much I already I ved the trees, water, and funky pink marble buildings. My mother, how ever, had re ervations that la ted until the day of my graduate school commencement. R cent experience taught me how common this i : many fir t-year students fall head-over-heels in love with their college, without con idering the in titution'wart and wrinkles. ostalgia is imperfect, revis10m t hi tory. o college experi ence i without its challenge but a I tell my own tudents, you can grow from the e experiences. During Reunion 2009, I realized how m u h growth I experienced throughout my ew ollege years. I recognized that I learned three im portant life le ons: 1. Friends come in many hapes, sizes, and colors. 2. You can smg any song and dance to any beat. 3. ometimes being is all tt'e need It was wonderful to see old friend and, perhaps, make some new friends. miles, hug and ki se are alway welcome wh n you can look into the eye of another per on knowing you share a common experience. The common experience could be that thing you did in Palm ourt when your favorite ong wa playing, or how you managed to complete your the i with hour left to pare. In any a e, it seem every ew College graduate ha a harcd experience that we can rally around for year to come. My love of ew College ome from a ense of being who 1 am without mask or guard. I could alway just be me. Almost four year before reunion 2009, I decide I to give back to ew olle >e by erving on the CAA Board. This i the main rea on I wa on campu in May, but I was around enough to oak up the New College vibe. I had an opportunity to attend the alumnae/ i toast to the graduate create ome ew College trivia que tion and attend commencement. With regard to commenc ment, the pa age of time mean almost noth ing becau e there were many excel lent 1ght -a bathing uit, balloon dre many formal uits and ties, a Captain Morgan, and a lone "her etic" wearing a cap and gown.
