Chris Sullivan, whose family has been visiting the island since 1990, will play lacrosse for the University of Denver in the fall. The Pioneers in May defeated Maryland to win their first ever NCAA Division I championship.

Where's the story?7 Points Mentioned

While Denver this spring will begin its quest to defend the national title, Sullivan will play his senior season at Deerfield. His brother, Ted, a junior on the Deerfield lacrosse team, also verbally committed to Denver. He is expected to sign his letter of intent in the fall.

Both Sullivans also play football at Deerfield. Their oldest brother, Ben, is a recent graduate of the University of Arizona. He played tight end for the Wildcats’ football team.

BECAUSE HUNGER KNOWS NO SEASON.

The Experimentory Year Two announced

The Experimentory at Deerfield Academy

A four-week summer program for students entering seventh and eighth grade, the Experimentory allows students to delve into project-based, interdisciplinary learning.

Students explore music, technology, communications, architecture, and more! Rather than teaching these areas as isolated courses, the Experimentory focuses on the intersection of subjects, honing observation skills, fostering new forms of creativity, and developing new methods for looking at the world.

Outside of the classroom, students engage in activities geared to inspire leadership and collaboration. They also take their learning further afield with a series of day trips to explore locales around Massachusetts.

Contact Program Director Jill Schaffer with questions.

Visit the Experimentory online, or on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Flickr

Bruins - Avalanche Fun

We didn't all make it into the picture but we had fun as the Bruins found their first win of the young season over the Avalanche 6-2.  Seven DA alums were able to attend the second Bs-Avs contest of the calendar year and we had a lot of fun meeting and catching up.  Great to see you:
Adeline '07, Gus '05, Jane '04, Jamie '03, Meegan '97, David '90 and John '83!

And we're using the picture to send a little gift to each of our six Colorado kids currently studying at DA!
