Faculty
It's quite a change to see Roger Hatch holding something other than a rugby ball, but as you can see, he's already got the right moves in his new role as a first-time grandpa! Beautiful granddaughter Khaleesi Hatch was born on October 30, 2013, bringing great joy to her proud parents Danny and Samantha and her delighted grandparents, Roger and Madeleine Hatch.
Congratulations to everyone in the family and a note to little Khaleesi . . . get ready to watch a LOT of rugby!

Katarina Angus '13 is off to a great start playing field hockey at Brown University. We caught a recent article in Brown University's sports news, reporting that Katarina scored the game-winning overtime goal, giving Brown its first win over a nationally ranked opponent since 2005. Congratulations, Katarina!
Katarina has joined a growing list of Collingwood grads who have gone on to play sports for their colleges and universities, including a number of Ivy League institutions.

Calling for Nominations for 2013 Alumni Awards
Mackenzie Awards
Established in 2007, the Mackenzie Awards recognize Collingwood alumni who have exhibited outstanding excellence in one of the four strands (Academics, Arts, Athletics or Service). The Mackenzie Awards need not be awarded every year.
Announcing two new Alumni Association Awards
In recognition of the fact that not all achievements fall within the four strands, that the Alumni Association has created two new awards, which need not be awarded every year.
The Alumni Association Honours Award will recognize outstanding accomplishments as a result of business or professional achievements, or the display of great courage in the face of adversity.
The Alumni Association Volunteer Award will recognize service to the Alumni Association and/or to Collingwood School.
If you wish to nominate a Collingwood alum for any of the above awards, please send in a completed Nomination Form by December 15, 2013.
