A Fresh Start
This past fall I had the pleasure of joining Heather Kidd, Director of Enrolment Management, on an admissions and alumni visit to Bermuda. Finally post-pandemic, this felt historic to me, both personally and as Albert’s 19th Head of School. It was my first time on an Albert College recruitment trip, my first time meeting our Bermudian alumni and parents in person, and my first time in (mostly) sunny Bermuda. In addition to the many wonderful conversations I had with the AC folks there, I was really impressed with the long-running, deep global connections we have. Bermudian students have been coming to Albert since at least the early 1900s. As a history teacher, it had my mind racing about what that experience must have been like through the decades for those students and their families. Our international communities make Albert College what it is today, and these relationships help keep us vibrant and diverse as a school firmly planted in Belleville, Ontario. Just as I love learning about Albert College’s past, as Head of School, I am very aware of the steps we need to take to stay current, to look to the future and be a school that is constantly evolving. With that in mind, I am thrilled to introduce you to the new Albert Talks magazine. It is a bold new look that helps us leap forward in how we present Albert College to the world. I hope that our alumni, young and old, parents far and wide, and the students and staff who walk these halls each day, see themselves reflected in the pages that follow.
