Alumni Association Elects New Slate
The gavel of the Alumni Association's president, carved from the wood of the College Elm, was passed at the annual business meeting on Reunion Saturday in May. Representatives of the 8,000-member association who attended the breakfast meeting unanimously approved the slate of new officers and members as read by Glen Beebe '81, Association President since 1998.
Susan Stobbart Shapiro '91, an attorney for Council, Baradel, Kosmerl & Nolan in Annapolis, MD, was elected to a two-year term as president, effective July 1, 2000. Valarie Sheppard '86, a research scientist for Human Performance Systems in Lanham, MD, was elected vice president. Glen Beebe, deputy executive director, New Jersey Assembly Majority, will remain on the Council for two years as past president.
This year's alumni-elected trustees also were announced. Jay Marchant '63, a consultant on the use of interactive communications technologies based in Queenstown, MD, and Ralph Snyderman '61, chancellor for Health Affairs at Duke University, and president and CEO of the Duke University Health System, will serve six-year terms on the Board of Visitors and Governors, beginning July 1, 2000.
Becky Brown Owens '25, on campus for her 75th Reunion, was recognized for being the first female president of the Alumni Association. She was president in 1964, when the Association purchased the Alumni House as their gift to the College. As part of Reunion activities, Owens and others sorted through and identified an attic full of photos for a permanent exhibition planned for the Alumni House.
