2024 Alumni Summit Celebrates Curiosity

The 2024 Alumni Summit gathered 23 distinguished Millbrook Alums for a day of engaging presentations on their lives since graduation. From Jed Diemond ’87 to Lars Heidenreich ’20, alums have thrived in academia, entrepreneurship, arts and entertainment, science and technology, and government. The diverse group of panelists were encouraged to craft presentations with this year’s core value of curiosity in mind.

 

After a stirring three-song performance by recording artist Anna Rose Menken ’03, students attended sessions selected according to their interests. The summit is a unique way for alumni to stay connected to Millbrook and give back to current students, who are undoubtedly inspired by what they learn in their sessions. The alumni presenters volunteer their time and often provide contact info for students who wish to connect beyond the summit.

 

The theme of curiosity was writ large in the keynote address, delivered by past Miller Brown Health Center director Larry Atlas. A true Renaissance man, Larry has indulged his curiosities at every turn. Describing his path from U.S. Army drill sergeant to successful actor, playwright and screenwriter, software developer, skydiver, educator, and health professional, Larry suggested the incredible possibilities for Millbrook students committed to curiosity.
