Isabella Epstein ’16 was working as an investment banking analyst in 2021 in New York City, with its millions of people and a million things to do. Isabella was a little lost, having a tough time finding her place in the social scene. She was determined to change that, which led to building a social startup, Kndrd, an app now in its testing stage with a release scheduled this spring. Kndrd says it allows like-minded people to share experiences around New York City to “find (or post) spontaneous hangouts whenever you want and wherever you want. No swiping, just doing.” 

The town of Windsor, Conn., recently celebrated its fourth annual Phenomenal Women Awards, given to those who have made a difference in a variety of ways. Two of the five honored were Delaney Denno ’23 and senior Anuva Kolli.  

Terry Jacobs Walters ’84 started out needing to help herself, then her two daughters. Over the years many people have benefited from her knowledge and convictions. 

Nearly 1,500 members of the Loomis Chaffee community contributed a total of $721,704 on Philanthropy Day this year, shattering records in both donor participation and funds raised. 

Barbara Erickson spent 39 years at Chaffee, 21 years as the head of the school. She retired in 1976, four years after Chaffee and Loomis joined as Loomis-Chaffee. Ralph Eriskson was a multi-sport coach and athletic director for Loomis from 1946 until his retirement in 1969. Few people had a greater impact on Loomis, Chaffee, and Loomis Chaffee than Barbara and Ralph Erickson.
