Stuart Poplin, who goes by AJ, enrolled at Loomis Chaffee as a new sophomore and graduated in 2013. He returned to the Island in 2022 as the Alumni Admissions Fellow after spending five years as a science teacher at Success Academy Charter Schools in New York City. AJ earned his bachelor’s degree in biology and anthropology at Amherst College in 2017, where he was a member of the football team and Black Student Union. 

AJ lives off-campus in his hometown of Hartford, Conn., but remains connected to campus as an assistant football coach and faculty affiliate in Taylor Hall, where he lived during his senior year at Loomis. His favorite place on campus is the Athletics Center, which is right next to his office in Sellers Hall, overlooks our football field and track, and has plenty of equipment for his workouts and the sports he loves.
