When faced with three great options, why pick one? Pick them all! That was ultimately our decision in choosing three fantastic cover images for the Winter 2018 Andover magazine. When we decided on the cover story “Tech for Good,” we knew we wanted to highlight alumni Stay tuned! who use their tech savvy to help others, and to connect these stories to the theme of our new campaign, Knowledge & Goodness. May 2018 After compiling a list of potential candidates, we asked colleagues for suggestions and even queried class secretaries. Of course, we ended up with an enormous list of interesting and diverse alums. So how to choose? The 10 alumni profiled—in our cover story and complementary feature—represent a variety of industries, from health care and finance to beauty and education. “Tech for Good” also showcases a trajectory of business models. Architect Hadley Soutter Arnold ’82 has recently created a new green tech solution that she hopes will address the problem of limited drinking water in the future. Atima Lui’s ’08 recently-launched company uses tech to allow women of every skin tone to access beauty and fashion items, and established designer Jake Barton ’90 pushes the boundaries of technology to tell meaningful stories. As for choosing the cover, each of the three photo options (two taken by Kezi Barry ’02 in NYC) were just too good, so we made an unusual decision: split our mail list three ways and publish three different covers with a common interior layout. This cover story is by no means an end point. Our new website, www.andover.edu/magazine, includes additional photos, content, and audio and video clips. If you have suggestions of other alumni whose work embodies “Tech for Good,” please share! As always, we welcome your comments and feedback.
