Saturday evening, August 23rd, Phillips alumni in the Pasadena/San Bernardino Area attended an Alumni Party at the home of Gail Ellis (CPDP 2006 and MFT/OB 2002) in San Marino. The party was an opportunity for alumni to reconnect and to celebrate the faculty of Phillips. Attendees enjoyed a wonderful buffet dinner chatting with their classmates and former instructors.
Faculty who attended the party were honored by Dr. Porché-Burke for their numerous contributions to Phillips. Those who spoke included Kathy Wexler, José Luis Flores, Michelle Browning, Rhonda Brinkley-Kennedy, Judy Davis-Farash, Barbara Fuller and Fereshteh Mazdyasni. Our new Alumni Association Board President, Beverly Mosley (OB 2003), introduced board members Al Munoz-Flores (MFT 2000 and CPDP 2008) and Bryce Malek (MFT 1994 and CPDP 2007), who spoke about their experiences at Phillips. Ana Luisa Bustamante was welcomed back to Phillips after a three-year hiatus. She will be the interim Director of the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program (CPDP).
This was the first of several regional alumni parties that will be held through next spring. Please make sure that the Alumni Association has your current address to ensure that you receive an invitation to the party in your area.
