Congratulations to alumnae Julie Wang ’23 and Victoria Munro ’22 for being chosen to attend the Vancouver selection event amongst their peers at Sauder’s School of Business and then being selected as Vancouver Finalist in the KPMG Ace the Case competition. Well done!
Condolences
 It is with sadness that we announce that alumna Robyn Inman ’68 has passed. Robyn was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, and devoted loving partner for over 50 years to her surviving husband, Boba. Robyn valued education and teaching, was proficient in both, and travelled around the globe many times to draw a rich diversity of young minds. Robyn had recently celebrated her 55th reunion at Crofton House with her classmates. All who knew her benefited from her compassion, loyalty, and love.
