Banbury Crossroads School NOTABLE ALUMNI

What Banbury Crossroads School says about their alumni network:

• As we are a small school, and have few graduates each year, our alumni list is smaller than those of large schools. Nevertheless, our graduates are distinguished in many ways that are unusual. One is that their writing skills and their social/communication skills tend to be markedly superior. In addition, they often tend to be entrepreneurs. As one graduate said, "I realize that every job I have ever had, I created." We have started a section on our website called "Alumni Reflections" that highlights the experiences of our graduates, post-school, and how their lives were influenced by their attendance at Banbury. One of these graduates, Delaney Boyd, who graduated in 2003 with her Master's in EVDS in Ecology, was awarded the Gold Medal for the Faculty. She has now completed her Doctorate in EVDS, and is working as the Land Planning and Policies Officer for the Department of National Defence at Suffield Base in Alberta. Another site in which her thesis is referenced resulted from her invitation by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy as one of five delegates from around the world to present at the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) World Parks Congress in Sydney, Australia, in November of 2014. An article on the basis of this work was published by GlobalPost at the following link: www.globalpost.com/dispatches/globalpost-blogs/groundtruth/bombs-biodiversity-military-lands-conservation-WPCSydney. Otherwise, many alumni keep in touch, and we have just begun to develop a formal alumni organization. Alumni are invited to anniversary events and other events hosted by the school.
