Admiration of Deerfield

It is a very humbling experience to read the Deerfield Magazine and learn of the wonderful accomplishments of so many alumni , but it makes one very proud of the school and it’s ongoing excellence. It is rather disheartening, however, to see one’s own class notes move closer and closer to the start of that section! A quick update on the Shively’s has us back at our country home in France where we hope the calm , good food and plentiful wine will help my wife Red cope with the rare brain infection which has sadly , taken from her what was a remarkable energy and zest for all life has to offer. Of Deerfield friends we have recently seen, Garry Bewkes and Kim Stewart , daughter of John Louis–both looking and being in great shape. Best regards to all classmates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upon graduating from Deerfield, alumni enter a diverse network of former Deerfield students. Deerfield alumni have ventured into almost every area of employment, and many are at the top of their respective fields. The advantages of this vast network are numerous and significant, as every member of the Deerfield family receives the following:

Alumni are also eligible for alumni awards, such as the Ashley Award, Heritage Award, and the Mimi Morsman Award.

There are no membership fees or dues for members of the Deerfield family, but Deerfield does ask for assistance in a few areas. First of all, in order for Deerfield to have the most up-to-date records possible, we encourage members to keep us apprised of their current contact info. Alumni are also urged to direct all concerns and suggestions regarding Deerfield’s operations through the Executive Committee, the governing body of the Alumni Association. The committee acts as the voice of the alumni body, and works closely with the school administration. In order to keep tuition affordable and the quality of a Deerfield education at its highest, the Academy depends upon the continuing support of alumni and their families. This support can take the form of annual or capital gifts, or time spent volunteering on behalf of Deerfield.

There are regional events in many major American cities. Please visit here for more information on regional engagement. 

Of course! Be sure to read the latest issue of From Albany Road in your email’s in-box for current news of what is happening on campus. As we also send out periodic invitations, it’s always best to make sure we have your current physical address. And if you do plan on visiting campus, why not tell us ahead of time?
