Spotlight on Alumni: Halle L., Halle Livermore ’15 Halle fondly recalls Tower’s classroom environment, where she not only improved as a student but also developed relationships with teachers that led her to ask questions and spark conversations outside of class. When she arrived at Groton, she says, “I felt equipped with strong study skills and confident in my ability to build meaningful relationships with teachers.” After graduating from Tower, Halle attended Groton School. There, her enthusiasm for history and art, which she credits Tower for nurturing, evolved and grew. At Groton, she was a Global Education Prefect, which opened opportunities to attend international exchange programs. During her sophomore year, Halle studied in Uganda and then in Tanzania as a junior. These experiences helped shape her plans for college. Halle enrolled at Cornell, and in 2023 she graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in History and Africana Studies.
