Please join us on February 24 for Founder's Dinner, an evening to celebrate the College’s founding and our vibrant community of students, families and alumni.

Our keynote speaker is Martin Kon ’89, president and COO at Cohere, a leading independent, data security-focused enterprise AI company. At Cohere, Martin is focused on bringing commercial products and solutions to market that help make businesses more efficient and productive. Prior to Cohere, Martin served as CFO of Google’s YouTube division. Martin has also held senior leadership roles at BCG and Oliver Wyman, and has more than two decades of experience advising C-suite executives at companies across the U.S., Canada and Europe, especially in tech, media and telecoms.

The evening will also celebrate two extraordinary individuals who have made tremendous contributions to our community. We’re delighted to present and celebrate Stu Lang ’70 with the 2025 Old Boy of Distinction Award, and Ken Tanenbaum with the John D. Stevenson Award.
