Husky Tales - September 2022

Gould's 187th School Year Begins ... in the woods
Into the Unknown: Orientation at Gould
Within 24 hours of arriving in Bethel, all new students and Gould student leaders are whisked away on group expeditions into the Maine wilderness and the White Mountains of New Hampshire. They are off to explore mountains, rivers, and lakes with tents, backpacks, canoes, kayaks, and bags of food, but there is more to Orientation than a simple camping trip.

“[Students are] nervous getting out of the car, and we instantly put them out on a three-day backpacking or canoeing trip,” says Hayward. “They come back relaxed. They’ve made new best friends and feel like they’ve been here a year already.”

It’s an intangible piece of Gould magic.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition from last year titled In America: A Lexicon of Fashion included two pieces from Gould alumna, Alexa Stark '07, a fashion designer with a newly opened pop-up, Everywhere, in Rockland, Maine. Alexa is known for her sustainable fashion design and has served as an Alumni Artist for Gould's Sophomore Four Point program for the past few years.

And, it was the summer of babies for Gould alums! See below.
