Mark Terrero '76

I arrived on campus in the fall of 1973 an introverted, nerdy young man and was embraced into the Loomis Chaffee culture on so many levels and warmly welcomed and mentored by upper classmen, teachers, coaches, and staff. We were — on our Island — a community united: equal, included, and diverse. Inclusive learning was and is at the heart of the LC experience. Teachers’ offices or homes were always open for students. Thoughtful questions from teachers like Joffray, Archibald, Knowles, and so many others created the foundation for our learning. In turn, these foundations provided us with a tremendous head start to our college and life experiences.

Giving back to Loomis Chaffee is an honor. I’m joining a group that will support the next generation of students who will experience the pure joy of learning and sharing within the LC community and beyond.
