This month, parents and visitors have been greeted at the main entrance by Aturina Halverson and should continue to use Raptor when visiting campus during the day.

Aturina Halverson joined USN on Monday, April 1 as the new 19th Avenue Lobby receptionist. She comes to us from Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage, where she worked in guest services. A fairly recent college graduate, she is also an artist and especially enjoys creating string art.
Heather Davis moves upstairs to the Edgehill Lobby, where she will greet visitors at the front door and continue to support the work of the Business Office. Catherine Lemaire Lozier has moved to a new position as the Hassenfeld Library assistant.
As a friendly reminder, USN uses Raptor as the visitor management system and it is located on the left side of the reception desk. Parents, vendors, and visitors on campus before 4 p.m. weekdays should check in and print off a name tag using Raptor. First-time visitors must use their drivers' licenses to be vetted through the security system.
After gathering in Durnan Auditorium to hear from Kayla Miller ’10, Ed, D., and former teacher Betty White, High Schoolers spent the day volunteering at various organizations throughout the region during Community Action Day.
During a fun cross-division collaboration, students in Third Grade Teacher Cala Millis' class visited HS Art Teacher Chris Cheney's class to learn about printmaking and the inner workings of a USN art studio.
Rodney Crowell, legendary artist and grandfather to USN student Iris ‘26, will perform on Saturday, April 11, for Music Night, our annual adult-only concert in Durnan Auditorium. Tickets will be available soon for this fundraiser, which supports the arts and athletics at USN.
