Welcome Home to the Alumni Nest

Established in fall 2025 as a welcoming gathering place for Fort Worth Country Day alumni, the Alumni Nest is located in The Village on the north side of campus. It’s easy to spot, thanks to the large sign on the outside of the building. Alumni Relations Liaison Peggy Wakeland H’25 offices in the Nest, making it a natural stop for Falcons returning to campus. 

Inside, the Nest feels nostalgic. Shelves hold a complete collection of FWCD yearbooks, inviting visitors to flip through pages spanning the School’s more than 60 years. Additionally, artwork is arranged on the walls and shelves throughout the room – all created by alumni during their time as FWCD students.   

A large television screen brings the Falcon alumni story to life. A digital slideshow rotates through alumni events, including pictures of alumni currently attending colleges and universities across the country, Falcons returning for Homecoming Week festivities, class composite pictures, and highlights of alumni around the world. 

Designed for gathering in every sense, the Nest offers space for meetings with a conference table, while comfortable seating invites Falcons to relax and have conversations. When the space first opened, Wakeland hosted coffees for alumni groups on campus, including alumni faculty and staff and faculty and staff who are parents of alumni. A coffee and tea bar is available for anyone stopping by for a visit or looking for a place to meet with former classmates. Alumni interested in holding a reunion-planning meeting or similar event can contact [email protected] to reserve the space. 

Above all, the Alumni Nest is a place for FWCD alumni to reconnect with one another and a starting point for reconnecting with friends, Falcon memories and the School as a whole. Because student safety is a top priority, please schedule an appointment to stop by at your convenience and enjoy this space created especially for the 5,000 alumni of FWCD.
