Join PBHA-A virtually for their annual Alumni Weekend on Saturday, October 16 from 3-6 PM ET. It will be an afternoon of connection, celebration, and reflection.
At the event, PBHA will award Ethel Branch, former Attorney General of the Navajo Nation, with PBHA's Outstanding Alumni Award. During her time in PBHA, she was involved in the Summer Urban Program's Native American Youth Enrichment Program (NAYEP). Ethel is an elected Director of Harvard Alumni Affairs and currently serves as a Member of Kanji & Katzen in Arizona, where she advocates for Indigenous legal rights.
We will also be celebrating Kenneth Aldrich ‘60 with the Outstanding Supporter Award. Kenneth was the Graduate Secretary of PBHA from 1960-1962. In addition to his exceptional and long-standing financial support of PBHA, which has made the Leaders and SUP programs possible, Kenneth has served as an invaluable advisor to PBHA. He has led the establishment of PBHA's National Development Advisory Committee, which works to increase giving among alumni. Join us on Saturday, October 16th to congratulate Ethel & Kenneth!
The celebration will be followed by a healing justice reflection led by Tatiana Chaterji, a PBHA alumna with over a decade of experience in schools, prisons, re-entry, juvenile justice, and community settings. Tatiana brings deep commitment to peace building, violence prevention, and healing.
