community purpose There's no time to waste As David Chen '23 heads into his senior year, the lesson he hopes to impart to younger Exonians is to seize every moment on campus. Meet David '23 "I was knocked out by the sheer power of that sound, transported really I thought the only kind of music that had that kind of genius, virtuosity and earthy directness was Beethoven and Chopin." John Davis '75 "I love taking inklings of ideas that resonate, rolling up my sleeves, and trying to figure out how to make it happen." Diana Zhang '02 "While I hope that my kids embody the spirit and gift of Exeter in their lives, I feel that I must do the same in ways that I have been too busy or distracted to do so far." Madhur Deora ’96; P’22, P’22 "Exeter taught me how to be discerning and interrogate things, how to be a better math student and, thanks to [Mr.] Knowles, how to write." Jake Crane '00 "My greatest joy is spending time with the team. We have great kids — they are thoughtful, genuine, kind and competitive.” Matt Callahan '09 “We take an activity that’s about the individual — running, walking, cycling — and make it about partnership and community.” Emily Glasser '85 "We really want every child to have exposure to STEM fields, irrespective of their background or socioeconomic status." Tanish '23 and Riya '24 "It’s a way of looking at the world, of wanting to understand how the people who live closest to the problem see the problem." Miles Hoover '15 “Our team played a key role in [Barbie's] recent evolution as a contemporary empowering icon for young girls.” Grant Moran '74 "To waddle along on short legs (like a duck or a fat child) is tapa.tupu. The word has a pithy beauty, doesn’t it? The world would be a poorer place without it." Gregory Anderson '85 “One hundred forty students, 10 boats out, this place is packed. I love it." Boathouse Manager Bob Burnham "In times of distress, my tendency is to overthink and over-feel; reading a book like Middlemarch slows me down to the pace and rhythm of the sentences."
