We welcome Leon Tai (Class of 2017) to our board. She was a NU History major who has gone on to complete a Master of Arts in International Conflict & Security with a second degree in Political Strategy & Communication at the University of Kent in Brussels School of International Studies. Leon brings many skills that will be useful to us and to our scholars. More information will follow in her website bio. Committee and mentor class assignments will be determined by October.

It's time for our fall dinner. We will gather for dinner at the Thomas and Dutch Restaurant located in the space of the now closed Farmhouse Restaurant. The restaurant obtains its foods from a farm owned by Thomas and Dutch. The space has been remodeled and looks beautiful.

Thank you, Carolyn

We extend a special thank you to our outgoing board member, Carolyn Utech, for her support and board work throughout the years. Her time, knowledge and skills have been invaluable to WEAA.

Carolyn joined the WEAA board in 2010 and served on the Scholar Engagement and Educational Aid Committees.

Best wishes, Carolyn, in your future endeavors.

Thank you, Vanessa

Vanessa has decided to step down from serving on the WEAA Board after the recent and sudden passing of her husband. Vanessa joined the WEAA board in 2018 and has served as Secretary and chair of the Communication Committee. She has also served on the Educational Aid Committee.



Thank you, Vanessa, for your dedication and time on the board. We wish you the best. You will be missed.
