63 inducted into Old Boys’ Association

The members of the Graduation Class of 2018 are now also members of the Selwyn House Old Boys’ Association, following their induction dinner on November 1.

 

As the Grade 11 class gathered in Coristine Hall for a steak dinner, they were joined by 17 Old Boys and staff members to discuss their future plans, and the establish ties between this year’s graduates and their older peers.

 

The Grade 11s were reminded that, when they graduate they join an exclusive club, one that offers great benefits to their careers as well as their social lives.

 

Older Selwyn House Old Boys often say that their classmates at Selwyn House have continued to be their best friends throughout their lives. The OBA sponsors many events throughout the year in which Old Boys get together to support school endeavours, or simply to have a good time with old friends.

 

Connections to the school and its graduates also offer great benefits to students as they leave the school and go on to higher education or enter the job market, as well. Old Boys’ Association Past President Ben Spencer 2000 reminded the guests that Old Boys around the world are always glad to help a recent graduate who might need a recommendation or a bit of advice about their education or career path.

 

Graduates and staff members participating in the Induction Dinner were: Stephen Albers 2008, Charles Bierbrier '93, Evren Boisjoli 2008, Mary Ann Cloherty (staff), Michael Downey (staff), Abhinav Gupta 2009, Hal Hannaford (staff), Tom Konigsthal '74, Michael Maurovich (staff), James F. McMillan (staff), Cindy Morton (staff), Patrick Shannon (staff), Ben Spencer 2000, Peter Szilagyi '99, Jason Tsoukas '99, Richard Wills (staff) and Josh Wisenthal '99.

 

Grade 11 students automatically become official members of the Old Boys’ Association when they graduate from Selwyn House in June.
