Winter 2025
by Diana Tesni
CfA’s Abbot Hill Alumni Group has launched its online alumni directory on February 1, 2025.
“This has been a project that has been many years in the making,” says Abbot Hill leadership team lead Diana Tesni. “We are excited to see what was a vision take shape as a reality.”
The Abbot Hill leadership team is a group of volunteer CfA alumni who were interested in creating a way for graduates of the CfA teacher training programs to stay in touch. All teacher training program graduates have been entered in the database; when it goes live, they can sign in and begin using the system to connect with former classmates, make professional connections, and create interest groups to share resources.
Be looking for more information from Abbot Hill and CfA about this new resource for all teacher training program graduates!
The CfA Abbot Hill Alumni Group consists of Diana Tesni, Bev Boyer (Antioch Class of 1993), Kellee O’Shea (will graduate in 2026-2027), Robyne Plaga, and Caitlin Rooney (WHiSTEP Class of 2025).

The Abbot Hill Alumni Group is pleased to announce that the online alumni directory is now live! If you are a graduate of the CfA’s high school teacher training program, Antioch University’s teacher training program or TSHE, your name is already in the directory, and you are invited to login, create a profile and start connecting with other alumni. Our goal in creating this directory is to provide a way for our community to connect and share resources. To that end, everything that you put into your profile is searchable to facilitate those connections. If you are interested in providing teacher support and mentoring, for example – then you would put that into your profile. Maybe you are no longer teaching but are working with a community organization that promotes emergency preparedness – put that in your profile, and then someone could find you and contact you to lead a course or a presentation.
The more profiles that the directory has, the richer and more diverse the potential connections will be!
To connect to the directory and set up your profile:
- Go to the Center for Anthroposophy website
- Click on “Alumni”
- Set up a new password. If we don’t have the correct email for you, contact the Directory Administrator, Kellee O’Shea, at kellee@centerforanthroposophy.org.
- Start making your profile and connecting with friends old and new!
This project is the fruit of many years of labor from our volunteer team, but it is also the seed of a new beginning for our alumni group. The directory includes discussion groups and information about upcoming events both at CfA and regionally. We are looking into ways to share alumni news and profiles of what our alums are doing in the world. We are exploring possibilities for our community – how can we grow together?
We are looking forward to this next phase of our journey together.
Warmly, The Alumni Leadership Team
