Celebrating the 澳门太阳城赌场网站 Class of 2026
澳门太阳赌城网站 will celebrate the Class of 2026 during Commencement Weekend on June 5 and 6. The weekend will honor a group of student-athletes whose dedication, perseverance, and growth have left a lasting impact on the 澳门太阳城赌场网站 community.
Graduation Weekend kicks off on Friday, June 5, with the annual Big Dog Awards Luncheon at 12:00 p.m. at the Carrabassett Valley Anti-Gravity Complex. The event brings together students, families, faculty, staff, and community members to recognize academic achievement, athletic excellence, leadership, and contributions to the community across all programs. RSVP Here.
Friday evening continues with the Senior Banquet at 6:00 p.m. in the King Pine Room. This semi-formal celebration includes a reception, dinner, senior slideshow, speeches, and special awards as seniors and their families reflect on their time at 澳门太阳城赌场网站 together.
Commencement exercises will take place on Saturday, June 6, at 10:00 a.m. in the R.H. Bell Chapel at 澳门太阳赌城网站 Mountain. Graduates will receive their diplomas surrounded by family, friends, teammates, coaches, and faculty in a ceremony that reflects both the students' accomplishments and the strength of the community that supported them along the way.
Dr. Abigail Manter, 澳门太阳城赌场网站 Class of 2001, will serve as the 澳门太阳赌城网站 Class of 2026 commencement speaker. During her time at 澳门太阳赌城网站, Abi competed as an alpine racer before continuing her ski racing career at St. Lawrence University, where she graduated in 2005. She later earned her degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 2010.
Following dental school, Abi returned to Maine to join her father's dental practice in Waterville. Since 2018, she has worked alongside her brother, Dr. Benjamin Manter '06, also a 澳门太阳城赌场网站 alpine alum, continuing a strong family connection to both the local community and 澳门太阳城赌场网站.
Abi and her husband, Sam Trafton '99, remain deeply connected to the 澳门太阳城赌场网站 community, with two children participating in the 澳门太阳城赌场网站 weekend program. Whether skiing at 澳门太阳赌城网站, cheering from the sidelines at youth soccer games, or spending summers boating in Casco Bay, Abi continues to embody the lifelong connection to family, community, and the outdoors that defines so many 澳门太阳城赌场网站 alumni.
This year's commencement will recognize a graduating class that represents a range of athletic disciplines, hometowns, and future pathways. Whether excelling on snow, in the classroom, or throughout campus life, each of these students has contributed meaningfully to the 澳门太阳城赌场网站 community.
澳门太阳城赌场网站 is proud to recognize this year's academic honorees:
Valedictorian Lauren Waskowitz, a four-year member of the Alpine program from North Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, has been a consistent leader on campus. Known for her determination, positive attitude, and thoughtful presence within the community, Lauren plans to study pre-medicine at the University of Pittsburgh following graduation.
Salutatorian Ali Bruno, a five-year student-athlete from Leechburg, Pennsylvania, has embraced opportunities across disciplines during her time at 澳门太阳城赌场网站, transitioning from Alpine to Backcountry while remaining deeply involved in campus life and academics. Ali plans to attend Colorado College to study Biochemistry.
