Rare Chance with His Majesty the King of Jordan

His Majesty, King Abdullah II, made a trip to Los Angeles in May to promote Jordanian ICT businesses in the US. On his visit he also gave a talk on Jordan’s response to the Syrian refugee crisis at the Bel Air Country Club May 13 . Little did he know, we put out the call to fellow Class of 1980 buddies in LA to join us and surprise our very good friend and harass him a bit. After his talk on Syria we dragged His Majesty into our group for some hugs and handshakes and good old New England hospitality. Those broad smiles prove that as grey as we all are now that we’re still kids at heart and our love for one another has only grown over the years. Great to see these guys! (And true to Class of 1980 we closed down the place!)

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 Deerfield Clubs in many major American cities. Please visit here for more information on specific clubs and their sponsored events. 

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?
