We are thrilled to welcome Cynthia Chapman '83 as the new Chair of Stevenson's Board of Trustees! As a dedicated alumna and past parent, Cynthia brings unmatched expertise and enthusiasm to our community. Her leadership marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Stevenson, and we look forward to continued growth and success under her guidance.

A heartfelt thank you to our former Chair, David Colburn '76, for his exceptional service and unwavering commitment to Stevenson.

Stevenson School elects board chair committed to financial aid accessibility Chapman aims to make more financial aid available to give more students like she was the opportunity to attend Stevenson.

It was wonderful to see over 300 alumni and guests for Reunion Weekend 2024. Those attending had the opportunity to be a DJ for their own radio show on KSPB, stay in the dorms on campus, attend the State of School with President Dan Griffiths, learn about plans to update the new math, science, and engineering center, dip their feet in the Pirate Pool, enjoy dinner, music, and visit with one another at the Reunion Reception and Dinner under the tent on Wilson Field, among other activities over the weekend. Go Pirates! 👏👏🏴‍☠️

Today, the 40th Robert U. Ricklefs Scholar Award special assembly took place in the Wandke Amphitheater. Aimée Bates, upper division head, led the assembly and Dale Hinckley, faculty member, spoke about this year’s impressive recipient, Xinrui (Lily) L. ’25.

Our School’s founder, Mr. Robert U. Ricklefs passed away in 1985 and that year our Stevenson Alumni Association created the Ricklefs Scholar Award in his honor. It is given each year to a member of the Junior Class whose academic achievement and contributions to school life are exemplary, and who manifests in his or her daily life the values Mr. Ricklefs admired most in people: determination, responsibility, loyalty, unselfishness, consideration for others, duty, and courage. It is the highest non-academic honor a member of the Junior Class can receive.

All of the candidates worked hard and did an incredible job this year. Well done Luke B. ’25, Ale De L. ’25, Michelle H. ’25, Lily L. ’25, Wonjin E. ’25, and Victoria D. ’25!

And, a very big congratulations to Xinrui (Lily) L. ’25 for being presented with the 2024 Robert U. Ricklefs Scholar Award!

Our great thanks to this year's Ricklefs Scholar Award alumni committee members, Larry Hunter ’79, Sarah Lee ’96, Judah Padilla Matthews ’98, Terrence Riley ’00, Laura Merfeld '09, and Tori Lecomte ’09 for their time and dedication to this alumni effort.

(L-R: Dr. Dan Griffiths, Luke B. ’25, Ale De L. ’25, Michelle H. ’25, Xinrui (Lily) L. ’25, Wonjin E. ’25, Victoria D. ’25, Dale Hinckley, and Aimée Bates)
