  Colorado Alumni Gather in Denver

  The 2024 regional alumni outreach calendar wrapped up with a wonderful gathering in Denver, Colorado. Denver alumni representing seven decades came together for an evening at the Oxford Hotel in downtown Denver.  The event provided an opportunity for alumni in the area to connect, enjoy good food and conversation and get to know new alumni that have moved to the region.
  
  A big thank you goes out to CRAN representatives Betsy Rumley ’72, Gregg Barker ’80, Missy Christie de Koning ’80, Meg Richard ’92, Diana Lawrence ’75, and Jamie Loucks Cowan ’95 for all their hard work in promoting the event and getting a great group representing generations to come together! If you are interested in getting involved in our Denver regional network, or any of the other regions where we have a high volume of alumni, please reach out to Mackenzie Friedman, Associate Director of Alumni Relations at mfriedman@cranbrook.edu.

  Exploring Cranbrook Kingswood with the GMS

  Students in the Exploring Cranbrook Kingswood class at the Girls Middle School had the opportunity to tour campus with their instructors Loren Roumell ’99 and Shannon Howell Johnson ’00, touring seven different campus buildings and doing a deep dive into four different campus landscapes that included Kingswood Lake and Japanese Garden, the Cranbrook Quad and Mini Golf at Cranbrook Art Museum. The students finished their semester with a study of the different flags of Cranbrook with Center for Collections and Research curator Kevin Adkisson, who also led many of their tours.
  
  Click here to view the PowerPoint presentation the students created to share with their Kingswood alumni pen pals, with whom they have corresponded over the course of the semester. The PowerPoint contains many of the facts the students found most interesting. Did you know the study of flags is called Vexillology?

  Mentors Needed - CKAA Career Fair Wednesday January 29

  The annual Cranbrook Kingswood Alumni Association career fair is scheduled for the evening of Wednesday, January 29 from 6-8pm at Kingswood Auditorium and alumni mentors from a wide variety of fields and backgrounds are needed! Click here to register if you are interested in serving this year, or at a future Career Fair.

   

  Each year over 70 career mentors from a wide variety of fields and educational paths answer questions and carry on informal conversations with current Cranbrook Kingswood juniors and seniors. The onus is on the students to ask questions.
  
  The career fair is an event that is eagerly anticipated by junior and senior students at Cranbrook Kingswood, and each year a majority of upperclassmen look forward to participating. Often students are able to network with alumni as they begin their search for a Senior May Project internship, which takes place the last three weeks before graduation. During that time the majority of CK seniors take on an internship in a field of interest, and many interesting opportunities have been provided by alumni over the years.
  
  Immediately following the Career Fair, the CKAA sponsors a networking event for the mentors who serve at a nearby pub that proves to be a great draw.
