2024 Recipient

Class of 1990

The Class of 1990 has made a significant impact through its exceptional efforts to encourage engagement and participation among classmates, especially in preparation for their 35th Reunion. Over the past several years, they have focused on connecting with their fellow alumni through various activities, including biannual, virtual panel discussions featuring classmates who are authors or professionals in the education field. They publish a quarterly newsletter that features an article highlighting an "unsung hero"—someone who may not be in the spotlight but actively contributes to the community. For their upcoming 35th Reunion, they are planning a variety of events to appeal to a wide range of classmates. This approach has significantly increased engagement and garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback. The leadership of the Class of 1990 in these initiatives has inspired fellow alumni and proven to be an invaluable asset to the Brown community.
