Alumni Features

Rosati’s message to make the world a better place is being lived daily at the Rosati Leadership Academy.

Tom Beischer '87, Andy Crawford '97 and Margie Gudaitis Hess '07 have committed to giving back and staying connected to DA.

As he looks back now, a few months removed from his second full season in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Tate Fogleman ’18 admits there were some tough times.

Samantha Lanevi ’14 has an international background — her father is Swedish, her mother was born in Cuba, she was adopted from China when she was 6 months old and lived in Switzerland until she was 2-and-a-half — and she’s taking an international approach to pursuing a master’s degree in American history.

“Seeing these alumni engage with their alma mater is gratifying on so many levels,” Head of School Michael Ulku-Steiner said. “They are simultaneously helping and imitating their own life-changing teachers. They are building their skills in real-life roles that — this year more than ever — make an immense difference.

Torsie Judkins has more than 20 years of experience working in independent school education, and the Durham Academy Class of 1991 graduate says he owes his career to a chance pairing thanks to his passion for golf.
