Alumni Association
The Choate Rosemary Hall Alumni Association brings alumni together through meaningful connections that last long after Commencement. From mentorship to community events, we help alumni stay close to Choate—and to each other.
The Alumni Association Executive Committee (AAEC) provides leadership for alumni engagement, working throughout the year to build connection, strengthen community, and expand opportunities for Choate alumni worldwide.
