Volunteer Profile: Meagen Ryan ’93
Exonian’s personal philosophy inspires dedicated service to the Academy
t was a simple question. But Meagen Ryan ’93, a four-year day student from
Hampton, N.H., still reflects upon it occasionally when standing in front of a group in
her current job as a marketing strategist or in her volunteer role as president of the
Exeter Association of Washington, D.C.
After religion class one day,
Academy instructor Russell
Weatherspoon asked her pointedly,
“Why don’t you speak up more in
class?” The question was followed by
an equally simple but memorable
statement:“You only speak up when
you’re sure of something.This is your
education and you need to be part of
it.You are smart and you have something important to say. I am interested in what that is.”
“Mr.Weatherspoon probably doesn’t
remember that moment, but it has
stayed with me for two reasons,”
remembers Meagen.“First, it was a
challenge. Second, Mr.Weatherspoon
Ryan
recognized something in me that was
good and worthy. His comments jolted me out of my comfort zone, which was being content as a shy person.
Whenever I am tempted to fall back on that—to use being shy as an excuse for
not doing something—I remember Mr.Weatherspoon encouraging me to take a
chance.”
Those who know Meagen today find it hard to envision her as a timid student.
They use words like “dynamic,” “energetic,” “creative” and “organized” to describe
the Notre Dame graduate, who now lives in Washington, D.C.According to one
Exonian,“she runs a volunteer planning meeting like no one’s business” and has a
“knack for cutting to the chase while still seeing the big picture.”
Three years ago, Meagen assumed the role of president of the Exeter
Association of Washington, D.C., at the behest of History Instructor Rick Schubart,
the Bates-Russell Distinguished Faculty Professor.
“Our association president at the time was, unfortunately, moving from the area
and Rick said,‘The Academy really needs you,’” Meagen recalls.Though her previous associations with Exeter post-graduation had been limited to attending social
gatherings, she says,“As you know, it’s hard to say no to Rick Schubart.”
Since assuming her role, the association has enjoyed an increase in attendance
and in the number of annual gatherings. Meagen says she strives to provide a balance of social, educational and service-oriented activities that appeal to a wide
range of ages and interests.This past year, for example, families attended a candlelight tour of Mt.Vernon, a New York Rangers vs.Washington Capitals game, a Pink
Martini concert, a New York Mets vs.Washington Nationals game, and several planning meetings.
In addition, association members look forward to the popular “Thirsty Third
Thursdays” happy hours each month.“Thirsty Thursdays is a great, consistent
event,” says Meagen.“We get together every month and we don’t ask anything of
anybody. It doesn’t cost anything to attend and it’s a really effective tool for social
networking.”
When asked to reflect upon her role as an Exeter volunteer, Meagen says:“The
reason I volunteer is because I believe in the Academy and I am grateful to give
back to this place that has meant so much. But it is also because of my own personal philosophy, which is founded on non sibi and John Phillips’ belief that goodness
without knowledge is weak and feeble, yet knowledge without goodness is dangerous. Volunteering, whether it be for Exeter or for my church, is a core part of who
I am. I attribute that in large part to my experiences at Exeter.”

Young Alumni/ae Support Service Men and Women
In December, more than 50 New York City young alumni/ae collected and mailed items to
Exonians serving in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.They (appropriately) met at The Red
Lion pub to pen personal notes and pack individual care packages for the young soldiers and their family members, among them Jenna Grassbaugh, widow of Jonathan Grassbaugh ’99, Jon Boyle ’00,Wilson St. Pierre ’00,
Matt McKnight ’01, Natalie Rowe ’02 and Brian Chadwick ’03.
“I was amazed by the overwhelming response from the Exeter community to this event,” said Lila Ontiveros ’02,
who organized the gathering with Matt Hallisey ’01.“We had over 50 Exonians show up to support not only their best
buddies and former roommates, but also total strangers.The thought that each Exonian put into the gifts and notes
was heartwarming. I can’t imagine what those guys go through on a daily basis. I hope that we were able to bring a
touch of Exeter to them during the holidays.”
