Langburt '89 I attended Herzliah Snowdon from 1985-1989. After graduating, I attended Vanier College where I studied Commerce and then earned a Bachelor of Art in Film and Communications from McGill University. I have spent my career in new media and technology, living in New York City, and acted as the General Manager for Weight Watchers Canada before launching my own business Single Edition Media, which is a lifestyle company which focuses on all aspects of single living. As for memorable Herzliah moments, there were so many of them. From Mrs. Adesky pushing me to compete against grade 9, 10, 11 in the public speaking competition when I was in the seventh grade to performing in the variety and fashion shows though never as a dancer! Trips to Israel, Stratford Ontario, crazy shabbatons and lunches in Plattsburgh, are always fond memories as are ski nights and the inter-school dances. Ultimately, is was the teachers, students and a Jewish education which made a lasting impression and shaped me as an individual and continue to do so each day.

 Jon Roskies Award for New Leadership The Herzliah/UTT community congratulates alumnus Andrew Myers on being the recipient of the Roskies award which recognizes the potential of young people, encouraging their commitment to community work and nurturing their development by expanding the scope of Jewish experience. Andrew, a Judaica Program student, was invaluable to the school in organizing and executing a multitude of school programs and activities. One of his many contributions was, in Secondary III, his work as the developer and webmaster of the first UTT/Herzliah website. We are thrilled to see our alumni become so involved in the community and showing such strong leadership capabilities. Mazel tov! |
