Carl J. Lovejoy, B.A.
Appointed Associate Executive Director, Communications and Development, in 2014, Carl had previously served MVTC as Director of Operations and Director of External Affairs.

Prior to Oliverian, Carl worked as a teacher, coach, dormitory parent and administrator at Kimball Union Academy, Cardigan Mountain School, Tabor Academy and St. Paul’s School. A graduate of St. Paul’s School and Colby College, Carl and his wife, Cari, live in a 200 year-old farmhouse in nearby Orford, NH. The Lovejoys have three sons (and two granddaughters!): Ben is a Dartmouth College graduate now playing professional hockey for the NHL’s New Jersey Devils, Matt is a graduate of both the University of Virginia and the Curry School of Education at UVA and works in Los Angeles for Betterment, an automated investing service, and Nick, a Dartmouth graduate working for Barclays and living in New York City.
