More than twenty-five alumni came together to advise juniors and seniors and share their expertise about college life and career paths. Earlier in the year seniors expressed their interest in particular topics and the Alumni Office recruited alumni to speak on each. We are very grateful to our roundtable moderators and panel members for sharing their time with Falmouth Academy students. Read all of the articles resulting from conversations that day.

2010 Classmates Ride Across France

It takes character for two young men to travel by bike the length of France, setting daily goals and reaching them, eschewing creature comforts in favor of a simple life, making every action and word count. But it took characters they met along the way to make the trip that much more memorable. In early September, Falmouth Academy 2010 classmates Ben Bianchini and Mike Deasy set off for a fourteen-week adventure of a lifetime. Read more.


Alumni Panel on Sustainability

In January, six Falmouth Academy alumni collaborated on a panel for students. Moderated by physics teacher Peter Conzett, the group addressed issues of sustainability from different viewpoints, including legal, political, economic and social/cultural in addition to the science. Each alum brought theoretical and pragmatic expertise to the table. But, in the end, the answer to some of the important ecological questions of the day boiled down to a line from Hamlet, Act V. As Jay O’Hara ’00 elucidated: “It’s all in the readiness.” Read more.

To Nat Shaver ’04, it’s a dream job – and it’s his for the next year.
