1.   CULVER HONORED TWO YOUNG ALUMNI SUNDAY NIGHT, 

      May 11, at the Culver Legion’s annual Young Alumni Awards Dinner.  

San Diego Wild Animal Park Senior Trainer Kimberly Smith Caldwell ’87

 received the 2003 Young Alumna Award, and internationally-renowned caterer Eduardo Walter Wichtendahl ’91 received the 2003 Young Alumnus Award.   Both were honored at a banquet attended by the class of 2003, administrators, representatives of The Culver Legion, and members of the faculty and staff.

“You really develop so much independence being at Culver,” Caldwell said during her acceptance speech. “The difference between those people who went to Culver and those who didn’t becomes very clear as you grow older.”

Caldwell graduated in 1990 from the Exotic Animal Training and Management Program at Moorpark College, where she took veterinarian, nutritional, animal behavior and zoology courses while assisting in the development of the Ventura County Raptor Rehabilitation and Release Program. (read more here)

“It is a great privilege and a great honor to be back at Culver,” Wichtendahl told the crowd before directing most of his comments toward the class of 2003. “Culver was a turning point in my life. Take the best out of Culver. Take the principles you learn here and lead by example.”

      Having worked in his mother’s catering business before, during, and after

      Culver, Wichtendahl set out on his own in 1993, when he took an internship in

      Paris. From there, he was a management trainee in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1994

      and then returned home for two years to become sales manager for his mother’s

      firm – Susanna Palazuelos Banquetes – in Acapulco, Mexico, where he

      increased annual sales by $500,000 through attracting corporate customers.

      The Young Alumni Awards have been presented since 1998 to a female and 

      male under the age of 35. The honor focuses on the individual, and the selection

      criteria considers scholastic achievement, contributions beyond academic

      pursuits and/or contributions to Culver since graduation.
