A Message from Deena Qubein

Class of '01, Alumni Association President

Dear Fellow Westchester Alum,

Wouldn’t you like to influence the life and education of a deserving student?

We were all fortunate enough to be a part of the Westchester family, and it only makes sense that, as a group, the alumni help make that same opportunity available to others.

This year the Alumni Council is forming a special fund through the Tuition Assistance Program where 100% of alumni donations will be used to support students at Westchester. That’s right, we as alumni can actually support the education of young people through our donations. To kick-start this fund, my siblings and I have decided to extend a challenge. Ramsey, Cristina, Michael, and I are committed to match – dollar for dollar – any donation from Westchester alumni up to a total of $12,500. The goal is to raise $25,000 this year.

Westchester helped to shape and to grow our talents and abilities; let’s give other students the same opportunity. Remember that every dollar counts. We need your help to reach this goal! Thanks in advance for supporting this worthy cause.

Raise your hand if you can name your favorite teacher.

Now you can honor him or her through your gift to the inaugural Alumni Fund.

When making your gift to help send a student to Westchester, please reflect on a teacher, coach, or administrator (past or present) who made a difference to you and make your pledge in his or her honor. This faculty member will be invited to join you for a special gathering this spring celebrating both your and your honoree’s commitment to Westchester. Remember, no gift is too small or too big, and thanks to the Qubein Challenge, I know we will not only meet, but exceed our goal! Thank you for your support!

Adam Schwartz
Director of Alumni
