ALUMNI REUNION
A Magical Alumni Reunion
Alumni from the 1960s to the 2000s returned to Albert College for the Alumni Reunion weekend from April 28 to 30. It was a magical weekend, with new friendships forming and old ones rekindled all weekend long. Activities included a reception on Friday night, followed on Saturday by on-campus activities and tours, a wine tour in Prince Edward County, the Wall of Honour Induction Ceremony, dinner and dancing in Ackerman Hall, and a farewell brunch on Sunday. The AC love was tangible. Melanie Barrett, Director of Development, was thrilled to hear the stories (and tall tales) shared on a full-day all-request radio show on County FM hosted by Pat Larkin ’89 and co-host Kevin Balmer ’90, who called in from Oregon. “We hope our alumni enjoyed being back at Albert, catching up and reminiscing with fellow alumni, no matter what the decade,” she shares. Plans are already in the works for more events to help alumni re-connect with their alma mater. We were pleased to welcome John Barritt ’68 to the Wall of Honour at Albert College, and to recognize Carly Heffernan ’03 for her induction in 2020. Our honourees were formally inducted into the Wall of Honour during a special ceremony on the Saturday evening of Reunion Weekend. The Alumni Wall of Honour inspires current students by featuring alumni that have been recognized for outstanding achievements or accomplishments in their careers. The wall also includes an archive display of our annual whole school photo, a tradition dating back to 1857 that continues to take place to this day.
Congratulations, Wall of Honour Inductees!
Carly Heffernan ’03 and John Barritt ’68, Wall of Honour recipients.
