Class Notes Editorship Passes to Recent Alumna
With this issue of the Bulletin, we bid adieu to class notes editor Susan Hyland Brickell ’87, after a decade-plus in which submissions to the section have nearly doubled. Yet we’re not saying goodbye — Susan accepted a part-time position as assistant to Diane Brown Benninghoff ’68, assistant vice president for advancement at CC. Thank you, Susan, for a job so very well done.
Starting with the July Bulletin, we welcome new class notes editor Beth Hanrahan ’04, recently appointed staff assistant at Tutt Alumni House, whose duties will include compiling class notes. “Beth is articulate, fast, computer-savvy, and like a true Block Plan grad, clearly able to focus on the task at hand,” says Karrie Williams, alumni director.
