AIE Alumni Gatherings

On November 29, 2007, more than 30 AIE alumni from the northeast gathered in the Eliot-Lyman Room, in Longfellow Hall, to re-connect and talk about current issues in the field of arts education.

Read AIE alumna Andrea Sachdeva’s report (505KB pdf) on that event—complete with excellent photographs and a transcript of AIE director Steve Seidel’s introductory remarks.

On April 24, 2008, another dozen or two graduates of the AIE program gathered, with current AIE students and members of the AIE Advisory Council, in the Gutman Library Reading Room, also known to AIE people as Gutman Gallery, for a reception preceding the Askwith Education Forum talk by AIE founding former director Jessica Hoffmann Davis on her new book, Why Our Schools Need the Arts.

On May 22, 2008, AIE alumni are invited to gather again in Eliot-Lyman Room from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. for a similar gathering—this time especially to explore the effects of AIE alumni work in the field. (AIE alumni are invited to rsvp to AIE program coordinator Scott Ruescher at scott_ruescher@harvard.edu or 617-495-9068.)

Thanks to AIE’05 grad Brynn Hale, AIE’04 grad Joy Lamberton, and AIE’07 grad Andrea Sachdeva for their continuing efforts to bring AIE grads in the loop! And please stay tuned for bigger and better developments.
