IVC National Capital Area Member Profile: Anne Linton – Preparing Don Bosco Cristo Rey Students for Success!

IVC member Anne Linton has found a new vocation in retirement: working with the faculty and staff at IVC partner Don Bosco Cristo Rey High School (DBCR) to prepare first generation college-bound students with tools to succeed in the workplace, in college and life. It’s a great fit for her, having spent 37 years on the staff at George Washington University’s health science library, and as its director from 1998 until her 2021 retirement. She learned about IVC through a Holy Trinity parish bulletin announcement, applied, and immediately felt at home at Don Bosco. “They were super welcoming and eager to have me,” she says.
