A member of the Lyme-Old Lyme High School Class of 1976, Katherine Bergeron, was named last week as the 11th president of Connecticut College in New London.

We are hoping to conduct an interview with this Old Lyme native as soon as possible and would welcome memories of Bergeron from other members of the Class of ’76. We have already been contacted by a few, who wished to express pride in their fellow alumna.

Bergeron is currently dean of Brown University in Rhode Island.

Meanwhile, here are two stories published by The Day about Bergeron’s appointment:
