We are thrilled to celebrate 25 years of Audire in 2015. To mark the occasion, we hosted an anniversary dinner and invited all alumni to attend the dinner and stay for the contemplative retreat that followed — a retreat led by four pioneers of the Audire program, Tim Arsenault, Linda Beauregard, Mary Manrique, and David Liedl, on the theme “Bless the Broken Road.”
Below, enjoy the photographic slideshow that celebrates 25 years of Audire, as well as photos from our anniversary dinner and contemplative retreat.
