Friends' Weekend: roundtable discussion

During this 95 minute gathering - attended by 15 alumni - Hock, Betsy, and John talked about the current state of the institution, the greening of the campus, and the challenges to come. In this three minute section from the very end of the gathering, Hock shared some evolving thoughts the administrative team has had concerning how the institution might expand its vision and impact in the coming years. (Please note, these thoughts are still being kicked around at the staff level, and this should be thought of as a trial ballon rather than a polished speech. The key elements are to focus on: the importance of early adolescence, leadership skills, and sharing our innovative pedagogy)

Spring Leadership Gathering

This session was held with local alumni and friends of the institution. The 19 minute video is what was the first draft of the core of Hock's stump speech. The welcome and Q & A were omitted. The entire event ran for 45 minutes. Unfortunately this was one of the first session we used the "flip" and the audio is low and at times difficult to hear. In this talk I cover the key challenges facing the institution that our capital campaign would need to address: supporting faculty and counselors, increasing accessibility through building our scholarship endowments, and continuing to green and renovate the campus.
