Alumnae
Beyond Baldwin Alumnae Panel
On May 3, four alumnae — Kat Copeland ’85, Carmen Lennon ’95, Emily Scott Frankel ’00 (P ’35, ’37) and Amanda Keller Silveira ’09 — returned through the gates of Baldwin during Reunion Weekend to participate in a “Beyond Baldwin” discussion panel for the Class of 2024. They spoke to our seniors about their careers, the paths taken to achieve their current positions, the tools and strengths they learned while students at Baldwin and their fondest Baldwin memories. They all agreed on one thing: Baldwin builds confident, resilient women!
