Presented by John Howard \u201986, Vice President of the Alumni Council, at the Alumni Awards Ceremony during Reunion Weekend, Saturday, June 7, 2025.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ann Clark Tucker, a member of the Class of 1978, has long embodied the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ ideals of service and civic responsibility, living out those values through deep and consistent engagement with both her local community and the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community. A Magna Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate and English major, Ann has remained a shining example of what it means to lead with purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, her impact as an Alumni Volunteer is varied and longstanding. Over the years, she has given generously of her time and energy as a Class Agent, Reunion Committee member, Reunion Gift Committee member, Career Advisor, and Alumni in Admission Volunteer. Her dedication has strengthened the fabric of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community and supported generations of students in countless ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spring 2024, Ann returned to campus as a Practitioner-in-Residence with the Center for Purposeful Work, where she designed and taught a month-long course centered on the values of service and civic responsibility. She continues to mentor those students today, helping them prepare for lives of impact beyond ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recognition of her extraordinary dedication and deep impact on the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College Alumni Association gladly bestows the Bruce Stangle \u201970 Award for Distinguished Service to Ann Clark Tucker \u201978.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ira Waldman, Class of 1973, is the definition of an active ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumnus. His commitment to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ spans generations, as evidenced by his children’s attendance at the college and his continuous engagement as a volunteer. Ira’s contributions extend far beyond financial support; his invaluable time and expertise have left an indelible mark on various ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ programs and initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n

From his tireless advocacy for the legacy of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Athletics to his innumerable efforts as a Reunion volunteer, Alumni Council member, Alumni in Admission representative, and his leadership on the John Jenkins Scholarship Committee, Ira’s impact resonates across campus. He never misses a ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Reunion and is always at the ready when the college or his classmates call. What\u2019s more, this unwavering presence for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ remains a priority for Ira despite residing in California as a leading real estate lawyer and equally active volunteer for UCLA\u2019s Academic Advancement Council. <\/p>\n\n\n

In recognition of his extraordinary dedication and profound impact on the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College Alumni Association gladly bestows the Bruce Stangle \u201970 Award for Distinguished Service to Ira Waldman \u201973, P\u201908, P\u201911.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

Presented by Kevin Moore \u201993, President of the Alumni Council, at the Alumni Awards Ceremony during ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Reunion 2023. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

For the past 7 years, Nathaniel \u201cNate\u201d Walton, Class of 2008, has provided mentorship and real world experience to students through his government relations consulting firm, Sachem Strategies. He works with ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students through the Purposeful Work employer partner program, job shadows, and in correspondence with those who reach out to him. During the pandemic, Nate stepped up as a core partner for the Purposeful Work staff to strategize on how best support students in a virtual world. In the summer of 2020, he also hosted four virtual internships for students and recent graduates to ensure that they could land on their feet with experiences that helped to support their next purposeful endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n

Nate is an exemplary alumnus who not only prioritizes ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ in his philanthropy but has provided countless hours in hiring, training, and engaging students in Purposeful Work and providing meaningful career exploration. These experiences receive excellent reviews from students who are able to take advantage of them. One student noted \u201cNate Walton was an excellent mentor. This internship taught me an immense amount about building relationships with clients, researching markets, and lobbying efforts on the federal level. My work involved researching and building relationships with clients in Maine in the blue (ocean) technology sector. This work was very rewarding and insightful for what I may want to do with my career going forward.”<\/p>\n\n\n

For his commitment to the values-driven mission of Purposeful Work, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College Alumni Association is pleased to recognize Nathaniel Walton \u201908 with the Bruce Stangle Award for Distinguished Service to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Community.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

David Morris \u201889 has been instrumental in assisting students who are looking to break into investment banking through his role with Barclays, offering help in preparing for interviews, making professional connections, and navigating the financial services industry. His mentorship and coaching set ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ graduates apart, which is especially impressive as a small liberal arts college without a finance program.<\/p>\n\n\n

Despite the challenges of the pandemic in recent years, David has maintained a long-term commitment to supporting students\u2019 personal and professional exploration of this field through his connection to Purposeful Work, Investment Club, and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students and alumni in various roles at Barclays.<\/p>\n\n\n

For his investment in the success of his fellow ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ graduates and for sharing a wealth of knowledge about the world of finance, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Alumni Association is pleased to recognize David Morris with the Bruce Stangle Award for Distinguished Service to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Community.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Presented by Kevin Moore ’93, President of the Alumni Council, at the Alumni Awards Ceremony during Back to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½: Alumni Big Game Saturday on October 15, 2022.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

In 2020, Sara Cummings \u201989 & Beth Tener \u201989 conceived and offered a 21-Day Anti-Racism Conversation Challenge to the Class of 1989. This thoughtfully-planned virtual program offered daily readings, visual, and auditory materials on Black history and anti-racism, bringing their classmates together for a weekly conversation over Zoom that left a lasting impression. One nominator noted, \u201cI believe giving us the time and space to reflect on this issue, learn more about systemic racism and racial justice, share our varied experiences, and talk about how we can be leaders in our workplaces in these areas has had a deep impact on those who participated.\u201d Many others echoed this sentiment with gratitude for their mentorship. Following the profound impact of the challenge, Sara and Beth offered a similar course to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ volunteer leaders. <\/p>\n\n\n

For their commitment and conviction to disrupt systemic racism and engage the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community in these important conversations, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College Alumni Association is pleased to recognize Sara Cummings \u201989 & Beth Tener \u201989 with the Bruce Stangle Award for Distinguished Service to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Community.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

In 2022, the Sesquicentennial Prize was presented to Dr. Ben Lowenstein \u201992, P\u201923, \u201925 by Jennifer Crawford \u201901, President of the Alumni Council, during the President\u2019s Address at Reunion Weekend.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

Ben Lowenstein has become the \u201cgo-to healthcare person\u201d in Maine for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students and alumni, according to nominator Karen Daigler, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½\u2019 director of graduate and professional school advising. He regularly returns to campus to share his experiences as a cardiologist at Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick and offer guidance to current students. He also often brings colleagues with him so students can learn not just about becoming a doctor, but about other healthcare paths like nursing or physician assistant. Dr. Lowenstein is heavily involved in panel discussions, job shadows, and classroom visits. Since 2015, he has hosted approximately 25 job shadows, and he invites those students to return again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rising senior Elizabeth Bennet had this to say of her experience shadowing Dr. Lowenstein: “This job shadow was an amazing experience, and Dr. Lowenstein was excellent at taking the time to explain everything to me. I was able to observe all his procedures and patient appointments. This experience was very insightful regarding my interest in attending medical school and further sparked my desire to pursue a career in healthcare.”<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

In 2019, the award was presented to Kathleen Ann Burke \u201903<\/strong> by Sarah R. Pearson \u201975 during Boston ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Business Network: Research, Biotech, and Pharma event. <\/em><\/p>\n

Katie Burke has been a champion and cheerleader for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ both in her professional life and as a volunteer for the college. As Chief People Officer at HubSpot, she has been a tireless advocate for hiring and promoting women in the workforce, and has gone out of her way to advise and hire ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumnae.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outside of work, Katie has been an inspiring speaker at a number of Business Network events in Boston. In 2017, she participated in a successful panel on Women in Leadership that provided young alumnae crucial insights into leadership and career development. Katie\u2019s remarks on the panel were so astute that they were featured in the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Magazine and ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ News. She was subsequently chosen by members of the College Key to be the 2019 Distinguished Alumni in Residence. During her time on campus, she lectured, attended classes, and met with students and faculty. We were thrilled to have her share her expertise, insight, and experience with the campus community, especially with our students.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear to anyone who meets Katie that she loves her work. What\u2019s exceptional is that Katie wants others to love their work as well. That\u2019s why she has done so much to help young people identify their passions and professional interests, and harness those interests in their careers. She has been instrumental in hiring ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumni and student interns at HubSpot, a leading tech company known for its positive workplace culture\u2014a culture that Katie has played an active role in creating and maintaining. Katie prioritizes candidates from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ because she knows the value of a liberal arts education and has ensured that HubSpot is strongly represented on campus through The Center for Purposeful Work and other career programming.<\/p>\n

Katie, you have touched countless members of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community and served as a model both in your professional career and your volunteer commitments. You have shared your time, treasure, and leadership with us. Your eagerness to serve as a mentor and resource for others is inspiring, and we are pleased and honored to recognize you with the Bruce Stangle Award for Distinguished Service to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Community. <\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t+<\/span>Robert E. Cramer \u201979, P\u201913, P\u201914<\/a>\n\t<\/h5>
<\/p>\n

In 2017, the award was presented to Robert E. Cramer \u201979, P\u201913, P\u201914<\/strong> by President Clayton Spencer during Reunion Weekend.<\/em><\/p>\n

This award, as many of you know, is given to acknowledge ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ leaders whose body of work has helped alumni and students become better professionals, in their careers or in their volunteer work.<\/p>\n

Rob, it\u2019s no exaggeration to say that this honor was made for you. As an executive with RBC Wealth Management and now with Oppenheimer, you have, for many years, provided ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ graduates who are interested in the world of finance with invaluable advice. Beyond offering wise counsel that has set many young alumni on the path to career success and lives of meaningful work, you have also, in a number of cases, played a direct role in placing ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ graduates at your firms.<\/p>\n

One such grateful alumnus is Zak Ray, of the Class of 2007, who, when asked to share his thoughts about the power of your support, said, \u201cAnything for Rob.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zak, who, at the time, was the third ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ graduate Rob brought into the Boston office at RBC, says that Rob knows the adjustment to investment banking for liberal arts students can be a challenge, which is why he structured his analyst program such that each new ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ hire would learn the ropes from a ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ graduate Rob hired two years prior.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnlike many investment banking bosses,\u201d says Zak, \u201cRob encouraged us to be curious about other opportunities and to prepare for them. He also made it abundantly clear that he respected our work and that he would be thrilled to have us stay on for as long as we wished. His devotion to helping students has created, outside of Lewiston, an ever-expanding circle of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumni. We often meet as a group for lunch with him to discuss business opportunities, consult with each other on career opportunities, and most importantly enjoy Rob\u2019s company. Many of us never set foot on the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ campus together as students, but we all have two things in common \u2014 ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and Rob. From the day we met him, Rob was the best of bosses, our career consultant, and our friend.\u201d<\/p>\n

At ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, we strive to give our students a strong bridge to life after college. Rob, you have been a champion in this effort.<\/p>\n

For your long service to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ as co-chair of the Mount David Society Committee as well as a member of the Alumni Council, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Fund Executive Committee, the Parents Fund Committee, the Class of \u201979 Reunion Gift Committee, and the College Key \u2014 and your dedication to helping ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumni acquire the knowledge, experiences, and relationships necessary to pursue their career aspirations, it is my great pleasure to present you with The Bruce Stangle Award for Distinguished Service to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Community.<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t+<\/span>Edmund J. Wilson \u201962<\/a>\n\t<\/h5>

\n<\/a>
\nIn 2016, the award was presented to Edmund J. Wilson \u201962<\/strong> by President Clayton Spencer during Back to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½: Homecoming & Family Weekend.<\/em><\/p>\n

With the alumni honor he is receiving today, it is fitting to say that Ed has achieved the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ equivalent of horse racing\u2019s Triple Crown. In 2012, Ed received the Helen A. Papaioanou Distinguished Alumni Service Award. That same year, he received a ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½\u2019 Best Award. Today we honor him with the Bruce Stangle Award for Distinguished Service to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Community.<\/p>\n

Ed, rarely, if ever, has a ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ graduate received all three alumni awards. We find ourselves faced with the wonderful dilemma of running out of ways to honor you for your long and loyal service to the college and to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumni.<\/p>\n

For those of you who may not know, Ed\u2019s service to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and his classmates began 57 years ago, when, in his freshman year, he began the first of his four terms as class president. Faculty and staff elected him to the College Key. He also distinguished himself in athletics by captaining the baseball team and winning All-East ECAC honors in football and the team\u2019s Alan C. Goddard Achievement Award.<\/p>\n

Not long after graduating from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ with a bachelor\u2019s in history, Ed landed what he considered to be his dream job \u2014 the chance to work at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ as assistant to Dean of Admission Milt Lindholm. It was, as Ed described it, the chance to learn college admissions from \u201cthe master. The dean of deans.\u201d Three years on, his appetite for work in college administration whetted, he left ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ to earn a master\u2019s in student personnel services at Columbia. He then earned an MBA at Northwestern\u2019s Kellogg School of Management, where he would become among the school\u2019s most popular administrators over the next 30 years, first as director of admissions and financial aid, then as director of the executive master\u2019s program, and finally associate dean for student affairs.<\/p>\n

While he may have rooted for the Wildcats throughout his storied career at Northwestern, he never stopped being a loyal Bobcat. In addition to generously serving ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ as a member of the Board of Trustees, Ed has been a class agent for nearly 20 years, an Alumni-in-Admission volunteer, and a 50th-Reunion chair. He is now a member of the Cheney Society and is hard at work to make sure the Class of 1962 has a splendid 55th Reunion this coming June.<\/p>\n

If you ask alumni about Ed, you will hear about his eagerness to mentor alumni and make them feel at home in the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community. \u201cAfter I was accepted to Kellogg,\u201d recalls one alumnus, \u201cI traveled to Evanston to visit the campus. When Ed learned of my arrival, he was kind enough to show me around, introduce me to faculty, and take me to lunch. When I moved there, his grace and generosity only expanded. His selflessness continues to show me what it means to be a loyal and supportive member of the alumni community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ed, through your deep affection for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumni you have done just what the Stangle Award recognizes \u2014 you have always helped make connections for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ people, for the benefit of their careers, their lives, and the college.<\/p>\n

It is my great pleasure and privilege to present you with this year\u2019s Bruce Stangle Award for Distinguished Service to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Community. <\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

In 2015, the award was presented to Jennifer Guckel Porter ’88, P’15<\/strong> by Michael Lieber \u201992, president of the Alumni Association, and Lisa Romeo \u201988, vice president of the Alumni Association, during Back to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½: Homecoming & Family Weekend.<\/em>
\n
\n<\/strong>Since she graduated from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ in 1988 with membership in Phi Beta Kappa and honors in economics, Jennifer Guckel Porter has compiled a resume that is, without a doubt, a Fortune 500 headhunter\u2019s dream: an MBA from Stanford, vice president of operations for Einstein Bros. Bakery, chief operating officer of the corporate concierge service Circles, managing partner of the consulting firm Spencer and Bean, chief operating officer of Sentinel Jet, and now founder and managing partner of The Boda Group, where she now provides leadership development and executive coaching to a broad range of multinational companies, all household names.<\/p>\n

In that same time, she has compiled a record of service to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and her fellow alumni that is equally impressive. A ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Trustee since 2005, Jennifer was one of the founders of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Boston Business Network and has been an active member of the Alumni Council, the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Fund Executive Committee, her Reunion Gift Committee, and the Parent\u2019s Fund.<\/p>\n

It is especially fitting that Jennifer receives this award since she frequently shares her expertise in leadership development and coaching with other alumni, offering invaluable career advice to those in need \u2014 something she generously credits Bruce for doing with her and so many other ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ alumni. Jennifer, the same can be said of your stewardship of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community.<\/p>\n

Jennifer, you are a tireless and devoted champion for our alma mater, demonstrating the power of engagement in service to alumni and the college. On behalf of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ College Alumni Association, it is our privilege to present you with the Bruce Stangle Award for Distinguished Service to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Community.<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

In 2012, Bruce Stangle \u201970, P\u201996<\/strong> was the inaugural recipient of this award in recognition of his work mentoring, guiding, hiring, and advocating for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students and alumni of all ages throughout their career exploration, professional advancement, and service to the College.<\/em><\/p>\n

At ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½, Bruce majored in English. He played hockey, golf, and intramural sports. He earned an M.S. in management and a Ph.D. in applied economics from the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Bruce\u2019s wife, Emily Siegel Stangle, Class of 1972, and their children join us this evening.<\/p>\n

Bruce has always been a very engaged alumnus and Trustee. He sits on the Board\u2019s Governance, College Advancement, and Investment committees. He served on the Leadership Gifts Committee and the Campaign Committee for the most recent Campaign for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. Bruce and Emily have generously supported the Harward Center for Community Partnerships, student and faculty research in Economics, the Betty Doran Stangle Chair in Applied Economics, Frank\u2019s Lounge in the dorm at 280 College Street, and Pettengill Hall. Bruce chairs the Friends of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Athletics Leadership Council and was an early and active supporter of the Garcelon Field Project. He is also a founding leader of the Boston ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Business Network, serving on the Steering Committee and vocally supporting the Business Networks for the past ten years.<\/p>\n

But even beyond his great dedication and general service to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community at large, we create and confer the new Bruce Stangle Award with a focus on Bruce\u2019s extraordinary leadership in career development. Bruce has devoted countless hours to talking with, advising, and connecting ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students and alumni so they could reach their full professional potential. Bruce has served as a ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Career Development Center advisor, a Career Discovery Internship sponsor, a speaker, and a host for many Career Development and Business Network events. He and his firm have been committed to recruiting and hiring from ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ for many years. This goes beyond just looking at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ resumes: Analysis Group actively recruits ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students and creates internships for them during school breaks. In addition, Bruce gets personally involved and provides critical feedback to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ about how our students are faring, what additional preparation they need, and what is necessary for them be competitive in the job market.<\/p>\n

A true testament to the depth of his personal commitment, Bruce often has the most significant impact behind the scenes. Whether it\u2019s a current student who has no idea where they\u2019re headed and sends him an email, a recent alum he meets at a BBBN event, a mid-career acquaintance considering a career shift, an entrepreneur with a new idea, or a Bobcat nearing retirement, Bruce can be counted on to listen, offer thoughtful and straight counsel, make an introduction, and give endless encouragement.<\/p>\n

Beyond helping ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students and alumni in their careers, Bruce has mentored many ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ volunteers to achieve excellence in the work they do for the College. From brand new alumni serving on a committee, to members of the Business Network Steering Committee, to fellow Trustees looking for guidance in fulfilling their potential, Bruce provides clear insight, straight talk, helpful guidance, and warm support. Bruce\u2019s impact will ripple through the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ community and multiply in the world for decades to come, as the alumni he has touched go on to accomplish great things and serve both our community and society at large in countless important ways.
\nBruce, you and your family have given more to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and our community than we could ever thank you for. Your career development leadership on behalf of ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students and alumni, your gifts of time and talent to important programs at the College and in the wider world, your personal leadership, shining example, and long dedication to so many priorities for ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ \u2013 all these things have had immeasurable impact on ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and the world. We are forever touched, and ever grateful, for your generous devotion.<\/p>\n

It is our distinct honor to present to you this inaugural Bruce Stangle Award for Distinguished Service to the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ Community. <\/div>\n\n\n\n
