Dear BrownHEN friends and members,
This June we celebrate the first anniversary of the launch of BrownHEN. As you surely recall, the inaugural interview focused on Dean Barrett Hazeltine!
The idea of creating a Hazeltine community germinated in 2006, when I crossed paths with numerous alumni who were enthusiastic about participating in Dean Hazeltine’s 75th birthday celebrations. Some friends and alumni also expressed interested in connecting with one another as well, so after some reflection and numerous conference calls and emails, I presented the idea of BrownHEN to the Dean and received his unconditional support.
For the past year, we’ve enjoyed stimulating conversations with so many Hazeltine alumni who have been generous with their time. I have been grateful for each interview—getting to know the individual alum a bit better and gaining insights into how Dean Hazeltine and Brown have played a role in his/her personal and professional successes. Each encounter has been a gratifying experience, an inspiration for excellence, and an affirmation that we each—in the Hazeltine tradition—can make a difference by sharing our gifts with our community and the world.
Thank you all for your enthusiastic participation and endorsements!
Kind regards,
My-Tien
