Regina "Reggie" 林, 76年

Talented, insightful, competitive, and driven, Regina E. 林, 或者我们认识的雷吉, arrived for her junior year at Foxcroft in 1974 from Miami, 佛罗里达. A field hockey and basketball player, 一顶帽子, a member of the 骑 Officers Club and the Cum Laude Society, a winner of the Math Award and the Haythe Science Award, 和一个软麦圈, this determined Fox took full advantage of every opportunity as a student. Her two years at Foxcroft should have been an indicator to all who knew her, 她一生的影响. 

After graduating from Foxcroft in 1976, Reggie received her BS in Pharmacy with high honors from the University of 佛罗里达 before matriculating to Harvard Business School where she was awarded her MBA with distinction. 在接下来的45年, she would alternate between her love of science and her keen interest in business, specifically strategic business consulting, 战略发展, 和金融, by working in various management positions for companies and organizations including Medtronics, Kaiser Permanente, 埃格莱斯顿儿童医院, 佛罗里达药房协会, 麦肯锡 & 公司，科学.

During all this time, Foxcroft was never far from Reggie’s mind or heart. In the years since her graduation, she supported her School generously, served as a Class Representative and on the Alumnae Association, 共同主持了她的聚会, participated as a Career Day speaker, and served as a Trustee during two different times in the School’s history. 第一个, she served during the recession of the 1990s, 经济困难时期, 尤其是福克斯克罗夫特. During her second tenure on the Board, she co-chaired the 搜索 Committee that brought Cathy McGehee to the School as Foxcroft’s 9th Head in 2014 and served as Chair of the Board during this important transition in the School’s leadership. Today, she continues to lend her expertise as an ex-officio member of the Investment Committee.

Reggie once wrote that her goal for Foxcroft was, “Financial stability and educational excellence.” During her first term as a trustee, Reggie led the School in the development of its most comprehensive strategic plan; a plan that has served as the basis for future strategic plans. In her second round of service on the Board, 她曾担任财务主席, 董事会司库, and then Board Chair when Foxcroft received Ruth Bedford’s extraordinary bequest of over $40 million. Knowing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the School, Reggie led the Board in financial modeling, 生成的讨论, and careful deliberation so that this transformational gift would address the current and future needs of the School while honoring the woman whose legacy ensured Foxcroft would survive for many generations to come. These are but two of the many intangible gifts that Reggie has given the School over the last four decades. 

And lest you think that Reggie is all work and no play, just ask a loyal Foxcroft Hound about the time Reggie short-sheeted her bed in retaliation for finding Hound towels in this Fox’s bathroom at Spur and Spoon!

When asked about her hopes for the School’s future, 雷吉写道, “I would like to see Foxcroft continue its traditions yet keep up with the changing world in which we live. I believe it is important for each student to graduate with self-esteem and a will to achieve, for it is only through one’s image of oneself that they will be able to strive for those ultimate goals.”

她所做的一切, 她的工作, 她的服务, 还有她对家人的照顾, 儿子罗伯特·盖利, 父母Una和Asa, Reggie embodies the qualities of a Foxcroft graduate -  intellect, 的声音, 和性格. 

感谢她的领导, 忠诚, and outstanding service to Foxcroft, the Board of Trustees and Cathy McGehee, 校长, honor Reggie 林 by presenting Foxcroft’s highest award, the Anne Kane McGuire 杰出的服务 Award.
