A GROWTH MINDSET

Empowering students with the skills they need to thrive

LETTER FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

In 1898, Columbus School for Girls was founded by two trailblazing women who believed in the limitless capacity of girls. One of many schools across the country that rose to prominence during this time, CSG became a beacon of light for young women who were seeking a rich and challenging educational experience that opened doors for them to enter the nation’s colleges and universities and pursue careers that previously had been closed to them.

Now, 124 years later, we continue this legacy and lean fully into the work of providing a space for the academic and social-emotional needs of girls to be centered, celebrated, and honored. We know that girls’ schools create extraordinary outcomes for young women—graduates of girls’ schools are more likely to be engaged in civic life, they are more confident in their voices, and most importantly, they firmly believe in their capacity to impact the world around them.

At CSG, we remain committed to our founding mission—to empower girls to discover their distinct potential as learners and leaders. For us, this means providing students with meaningful experiences and opportunities to uncover their potential, lean into their purpose, and ultimately know and own their power.

You may be wondering what this looks like, and in these pages, you will find the answers— knowing one’s power means using it to make the communities around you stronger; it means recognizing the interconnectedness of engineering and the arts; it looks like building financial literacy in students and increasing their capacity to break barriers; it means seeing a need and doing something about it, and it means finding joy in learning. What I love about the stories featured here is that they capture the journeys of our students and our young alumnae. They boldly profess the message that you need not wait another day to change the world—it starts here and now, with you.

This edition of Forte celebrates the power and promise of girls’ schools and elevates the magic that happens when communities come together on purpose and by design. We are grateful that you will take the time to read more about the work of CSG and what happens when a girl graduates as a leader who knows her power, and we look forward to working with you as we look ahead to the next chapter for our beloved school.

Upper School students participate in CSG Summit

This past September Upper School students had an opportunity to discuss what they believe to be the most pressing political issues for girls and young women during the CSG Summit: Your Seat at the Table, hosted by the Center for Girls’ and Young Women’s Leadership. Students presented to their peers on a variety of topics of their choosing and later attended Advisory breakout sessions and a panel on civic engagement featuring several changemakers in the greater Franklin County community, including April Zimmerman Katz ’87.

CSG students participate in school-wide art exhibition

On October 11 in recognition of the International Day of the Girl Child, CSG showcased folding chairs designed by all students, from PYC through Form XII. The chairs, which were set up outside along the perimeter of the Main Campus, featured art illustrating important issues students would want to address or advocate for if they had a “seat at the table.” The concept was inspired by former New York State Representative Shirley Chisholm—specifically her quote, “If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.” PYC students collaborated in groups to paint five small chairs, while Lower-, Middle-, and Upper School students each designed their own chair. Hosted by the Center for Girls’ and Young Women’s Leadership, the event was created to help students feel empowered and to teach them that gender doesn’t preclude them from gaining access to opportunities to create change and make an impact in the lives of themselves, their peers, and their communities.

Meaningful Mentorship

Women make up the majority of those coaching CSG student-athletes

Columbus School for Girls Head Soccer Coach Genelle Castro had one female head coach during her entire soccer career, which began at age 5 and continued through college. Now in her seventh season with CSG’s soccer program, Castro—who also serves as a member of the Health and P.E. faculty here— takes her role as a positive role model and mentor for her students very seriously.

“I think the representation alone is a huge benefit of having female coaches,” she said.

Data shows that the benefits of female coaches are far reaching.

In an article published in July of 2017, Linda Flanagan, freelance writer, researcher, and editor detailed her conclusions about the lasting effects of the lack of female coaches in youth sports. She asserted that girls with female coaches more readily identify with and see their female coaches as mentor s and role models. This can help counter stereotypes and boost girls’ confidence, self-efficacy, and sense of belonging.

University of Toronto social psychologist Penelope Lockwood, who studied the impact of race and gender in role modeling, found that same-sex role models were vitally important for women, exemplifying inspirational examples of success and accomplishment.

Despite these advantages, the presence of female coaches in sports has been found to be lacking. A 2015 survey conducted by the Sports and Fitness Industry Association found that only 27% of over 6.5 million adults who coach youth teams up to age 14 are women.

In contrast, 77% of CSG’s 53 coaching positions are held by women compared to the high school national average of only 33%. And 35% of our coaches are full-time CSG employees. The environment is one that sets students up for success, giving them the opportunity to regularly see examples of strong female leadership not only in classrooms, but also on fields and courts.

The high percentage of female coaches at CSG is no accident. While in college, Athletic Director Megan Henry did her grad school thesis on the decline of female coaches in women’s sports back in 1987. When she joined CSG in 2013, she brought with her the understanding of just how important female coaches are to girls and young women.

“It has been a passion of mine and something I believe in,” she said.

Members of the female coaching staff appreciate the ability to offer girls the opportunities that they themselves often didn’t have as student-athletes.

Coach Genelle Castro discusses a powerful performance by the CSG Varsity Soccer team after a 2-0 victory against Bishop Rosecrans High School.

CSG Varsity Basketball Coach Rebecca Bailey believes providing girls and young women with strong female role models, especially in athletics, is vital.

“Growing up I always saw men at the helm in athletics,” Bailey said. “While I had such a passion for sports, it often felt like a career in athletics was not an option. But when our CSG athletes have the opportunity to work with female coaches, they see examples of strong, bold, fierce women breaking down barriers and teaching, inspiring, and challenging them on the sidelines. Our girls see firsthand that they have limitless potential to lead in whatever capacity they desire, whether it be on the court or in the boardroom, in the lab, in the Statehouse—you name it and they can do it.”

Bailey serves as CSG’s Assistant Director of Development, Major Gifts as well as Assistant Coach for Middle School Cross Country. She enjoys instilling her own passion and competitive nature into her student-athletes and helping them to truly believe in themselves.

“When you have a coach that believes in you and that is invested, it can make all the difference,” she said.

Coaching also gives those who work at CSG in academic roles an opportunity to more fully get to know their students.

Dr. Emily Krichbaum serves as Director of the Center for Girls’ and Young Women’s Leadership as well as Varsity Cross Country Coach. Her different roles allow her to see different sides of her students.

“Coaching is simply one aspect of approaching a young woman’s holistic development,” she said. “Sports, if done right, make people better.”

Research shows that participation in sports is beneficial to female student-athletes. A 2017 national survey conducted by Ruling Our eXperiences (ROX), a nonprofit that provides education, programming, resources, and research with the goal of creating generations of confident girls, examined the relationship between sports participation and other factors in girls’ lives. The survey found that when compared to girls who do not play sports, female high school athletes are 14% more likely to believe they are smart enough for their dream career, 11% more likely to say that they are happy the way they are, and 16% less likely to want to change their appearance.

Research also shows the link between student-athletes and leadership roles at top U.S. corporations. A global study conducted by Ernst & Young in partnership with espnW, an ESPN brand created to celebrate female athletes and elevate diverse

voices and perspectives, found that 80% of Fortune 500 female executives have played sports in their earlier years.

Athletics can provide the backdrop for the evolution of important life skills for student-athletes. At CSG, students learn these vital skills while also learning from their coaches that they can pursue anything they put their minds to.

Adaptability, communication, perseverance, and the ability to see the larger picture were just some of the skills that Lisa Mueller Greene ’83, fostered while participating in CSG athletics that she was later able to apply to a marketing career in which she’s held leadership roles for the past 20 years in various industries.

CSG offered a safe space that helped Greene feel comfortable taking risks. Sports didn’t come naturally to her, but Greene was always drawn to them. She participated in track the first two years of her high school career, and volleyball for the last two years. Running the half-mile race in track, she habitually came in last at every single meet—except for one, when she came in second-tolast. The experience taught her the importance of determination. Much later, she learned her old coach often shared her story with his current CSG students to demonstrate the power of keeping at it.

“CSG gave me that opportunity, and those skills that I’ve learned have been so valuable in my personal and professional development,” she said.

A legacy of kindness

Honoring a dear coworker and friend

This fall, our CSG family lost a beloved community member who touched so many of our lives with his kind and compassionate spirit. Ben Simon , who served as Director of Marketing and Communications, played an instrumental role at CSG in a variety of ways, from leading our School’s strategic communications, to documenting our celebrations and daily life in photos and videos, to sharing his design expertise with Silhouette students. Prior to joining CSG, Ben served as a design and photography director, managed his own photography business, and served as an operations manager.

He joined the CSG community in 2016 as Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications, serving as Director of Marketing and Communications in an interim capacity from June to December of 2021 before officially taking on the role at the beginning of 2022. Ben adeptly led the communications team at CSG and always was at the ready to help coworkers and the greater School community with any project, big or small. From assisting with school events to cooking hot dogs at summer faculty and staff cookouts, Ben gave of his time and talents freely and joyfully. His example inspires us to be better friends, coworkers, and community members, and we will sorely miss his warm and steady presence here at School.

CSG celebrates three retirees

At the end of the 2021-2022 school year, our CSG community said thank you to Maintenance Manager Joe McLain; Upper School History Teacher Frank O’Grady; and Upper School Math Teacher Leah Weintraub. All three dedicated an impressive amount of time to our School; collectively, they have served CSG for nearly 80 years! Leah, Joe, and Frank are treasured members of the CSG community, and we are so grateful for their years of service. Their dedication to our mission and our students has been clear in all they have done, whether they were teaching, coaching, or ensuring our school campus was in good working order. Congratulations to Joe, Frank, and Leah!

Jessica Fries-Gaither, Science Department Chair and Lower School Science Specialist, this past summer led a virtual, four-session study on her book, Science Notebooks in Student-Centered Classrooms , with K-12 teachers across the country. The book was published in January by the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) Press and serves as a guide for teachers who want to start using science notebooks in their classrooms or who are looking to refine and improve their current use of notebooks. Fries-Gaither has also been asked to visit with education students at universities, since their professors plan to use her book as required text in class.

Dr. Emily Krichbaum, Director of the Center for Girls’ and Young Women’s Leadership, this past spring received a Diversity Award from The Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business for her work with the Fisher Graduate Women in Business. For several years, Dr. Krichbaum has spoken to female MBA students about women’s history. She’s talked about how to leverage the history of women as an empowering and uplifting force in their lives and careers as they negotiate salaries and enter into spaces either currently or previously dominated by men.

Lower School Librarian Annie Ruefle was the presenter for an Ohio school librarians conference in April hosted by META Solutions, where she presented on Collaboration in Schools, focusing on the collaborative work we do at CSG through Children’s Book Week research, projects, and activities. She also contributed to a 2021 book called From Poverty to Possibility: Serving Children and Teens in Generational Poverty Through Literature, by Christina Dorr, ALA Publications.

Computer Science Teacher Karen Scranton at the close of the 2021-2022 school year was honored with the Dorothy Sehring Award for Excellence in Teaching. The award is presented every other year by the Head of School to a returning faculty member who has completed five continuous years of full-time employment or 10 continuous years of part-time employment at CSG and demonstrated a deep love for and commitment to the education of young people. Scranton first joined CSG as a substitute teacher in 1998 for the Program for Young Children and continued working here for the next decade in different capacities. Since 2017, she has served as Lower School’s Computer Science Teacher and teaches programming and robotics to students.

Leading with Community

CSG alumna Dr. Olivia Nathan ’05 has shaped her career around advocacy work

Olivia Nathan ‘05

As a CSG senior, Dr. Olivia Nathan ’05 won a Jefferson Award for her work with the deaf community.

The award, granted by Multiplying Good—an organization centered around service work that supports individuals and their communities—was given to Dr. Nathan for her work participating in her church’s deaf ministry and helping members of the deaf community interpret their taxes.

“Just having the heart for people and a servant’s heart for the community has always been a core value of mine,” she said.

Throughout her life, Dr. Nathan has been inspired to break down barriers for marginalized communities. In her role with Equitas Health in King-Lincoln Bronzeville, she strives to connect people with vital health services and is driven to advocate for the Black community. She credits her CSG education with giving her the foundational skills that would stick with her throughout her career and in her daily life.

“I just learned to never give up, because anything is possible… I saw that early on,” she said.

Dr. Nathan likes to say that CSG was the best gift that her parents ever gave her—even though she wasn’t always aware

of it. She attended CSG from Form I through Form XII and felt grateful to experience our traditions and community.

During her time at CSG, Dr. Nathan appreciated the robust support of her identity as a Black girl she received from her parents, the Big/Little Sister program, and the Black Awareness Club, now known as the Beauty of African and African-American Culture Club. These spaces provided her with an opportunity to connect with other people who shared her unique experiences and helped her develop the confidence and power to fully grow into her identity. This early foundation supported her work serving people of color.

“I never felt unwelcomed; I never felt that I wasn’t a part of the community,” she said.

While Dr. Nathan found community at CSG, she also learned the value of tenacity and grit—qualities that have stuck with her throughout her career. Experiences such as traveling in Form VII to Italy with her history class and visiting locations across the country to sing with the founding members of Grace Notes widened her worldview. Her time at CSG taught her how to engage with a variety of people from different backgrounds.

“All of our experiences matter,” she said.

Dr. Nathan continued her all-girl education at Spelman College, this time to take advantage of the opportunity to attend a prestigious, historically Black institution—an alma mater she shares with Head of School Camille Seals. Dr. Nathan earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2009. During the course of her undergraduate education, she was inspired to focus on HIV/AIDS prevention, specifically on the disparity of care found in Black communities.

Dr. Nathan went on to earn her Doctorate of Pharmacy from the University of California San Francisco in 2017. In 2019, she joined Equitas Health, a regional nonprofit health system serving healthcare needs of the LGBTQ+ community. During the beginning of 2021, she worked first locally and then statewide to ensure elderly residents received the COVID-19 vaccination. Dr. Nathan held vaccination appointments for those who didn’t have the technology to register online. Partnering with Columbus Public Health and several churches, she also worked to reach community members where they were most comfortable.

She began working out of several Equitas locations to continue to reach more people of color in areas where vaccination rates were low.

Dr. Nathan’s efforts to reach underserved community members helped to launch her in September of last year into a brand new role at Equitas. As the Community Engagement Pharmacist, she works in the King-Lincoln Bronzeville pharmacy Monday through Thursday. On Friday, she goes into the community to deliver primary care services via mobile health units to community members.

While Dr. Nathan’s career has focused on treatment for her clients, she’s also increasingly interested in the causation. She’s now pursuing a Master’s degree in Public Health from The Ohio State University and applying the tools she’s gaining to her role at Equitas, where she continues to advocate for those without the resources to advocate for themselves.

“People begin to trust you when they know your name and they know you’ll show up,” she said. “The power of community outreach is really important.”

Having the heart for people and a servant’s heart for the community has always been a core value of mine.

Investing in our Future

A new financial literacy program is designed to help students invest in themselves

This past spring, four CSG students competed in the National Council on Economic Education’s Personal Finance Challenge.

Gabi Yuan ’23, Peyton Readler ’23, Claudia Jones ’23, and Anya Nguyen ’23 made it to the state level of the competition, which was held virtually. As the only all-girl team, the only female faces they saw over Zoom were their own.

The experience served as a reminder of the gender disparity that exists in math and finance fields. As CSG works to empower girls and young women, part of that effort will increase the attention spent on financial literacy and exposure to finance careers.

Slated to launch this fall, the financial literacy program is one of the first offerings from the Center for Girls’ and Young Women’s Leadership—a new CSG signature program created through the Power & Promise campaign to enrich our commitment to empowering girls and young women to find their voice and know their power.

Suggested by Yori O’Neal ’24, the financial literacy program features a six-week curriculum in which students learn about earning, spending, saving, investing, and managing money. Students will also have the opportunity to meet women in the finance field, such as financial advisors, investment bankers, and stockbrokers.

Dr. Emily Krichbaum, who serves as the Center’s Director, said the goal of the program is to invest in young women so they can invest in themselves. Students often leave for college highly competent in a variety of abstract theories. Equipping students with practical tools to better themselves now and in the future is of equal importance.

“We send our students to college having conquered AP Calculus AB, but we need to make sure they also know about APRs and IRAs,” Dr. Krichbaum said. “There are too many women who wished they would have learned these things earlier. Part of positioning our students to find their voice and

know their power is giving them the tools they need to invest in themselves and their future.”

Controlling credit, loans, and debt and investing in the stock market were just some of the things O’Neal hoped to learn through involvement with the program.

“The goal is to ensure financial literacy and to have fun while doing it,” she said.

Educating girls and young women in personal finance is also necessary to decrease the wealth gap between men and women and increase the number of women in finance roles, O’Neal said.

Statistics show the finance industry suffers from a severe lack of gender equality. According to Rock the Street, Wall Street, a nonprofit with the goal to bring gender and racial equity to financial markets, women represent only 2.5% of hedge fund managers, 8% of venture capitalist partners, and 9% of mutual fund managers. According to Girls Who Invest, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing the number of women in portfolio management and executive leadership in the asset management industry, only 6% of the chief investment officers of the largest institutional U.S. money managers are women. Only 6% of senior leaders in private equity are women—4% in real estate and 3% in hedge funds.

While for generations women in finance have had difficulty getting seats at the table, CSG is equipping our girls with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in leadership roles within the industry.

O’Neal said the program caters to those with an interest in finance while also giving other students the opportunity to learn more about the field.

“It is important that women are aware of the opportunities in finance and are not pushed away because of the lack of mentorship and knowledge,” she said. “With an increase in financial leadership in girls and women, barriers can be broken.”

Nurturing a Growth Mindset

As Columbus School for Girls enters an exciting new era of leadership with Head of School Camille Seals, the Upper School is also embarking on thrilling new initiatives. With the school

year well underway, Upper School Director Scott Parsons is partnering with Dean of Students Dr. Meghan Hattaway and our talented Upper School faculty members to build upon the School’s long legacy of academic excellence, social-emotional learning, and robust community.

This is an exciting time for our Upper School as we lean into new leadership, ideas, and avenues for connection. Parsons has a track record of emphasizing safe and healthy risk-taking and a growth mindset, two ideas that are at the core of how CSG approaches education. In partnership with expert faculty, he will continue to help students push themselves academically and socially.

One important academic change made this school year was to augment student schedules. In addition to maximizing student learning within the classroom, the changes also allow for more flexibility for students to meet with their teachers outside of class time in a manner similar to what one would find in a university environment.

Work is also being done in the Upper School to support students’ development of personal identity, sense of belonging, and personal efficacy. The work is familiar to Parsons, who throughout his career in education has focused on the core social motives of belonging, understanding, control, esteem, and trust that inform the ways in which adolescents navigate their days. Parsons’ previous experience with these social-emotional skills translate well to address the opportunities we have in Upper School.

A key component of the work being done in Upper School consists of the decision to have Dr. Hattaway serve as Dean of Students. Prior to serving as Dean of Students, Dr. Hattaway was English Department Chair. In her new role, she is working in partnership with Parsons to foster community in the Upper School by coordinating celebrations, events, and form-level field trips and retreats to destinations in and out of state.

Upper School kicked off the year with an overnight retreat for seniors at Salt Fork State Park, and freshmen also attended a full-day retreat to Hocking Hills. In November, juniors will visit Cleveland to see productions of Romeo and Juliet and Cats on a trip related to their English curriculum. The trip will also be

an opportunity to reflect on the importance of being intentional about setting community norms, values, and identity. The sophomore class this year will also be making a trip to Washington D.C., a trip that had been canceled during their Form VIII year due to COVID-19, where they will study American history, civics, and government.

While these trips all vary in size and scope, they help our students learn to build community with each other. Other events, such as Bring a Friend to School Day and Red-Gold games, have also helped to instill fellowship and belonging. The work the Upper School team is doing around community and culture will help enrich our already extraordinary academic program, which is providing exceptional outcomes for CSG graduates.

This fall, we celebrated the achievements of our students, with more than 30 percent of the junior and senior classes being honored by the National Merit Corporation and the College Board for outstanding achievements in academics. Not only are our girls excelling in the classroom, but they are also thriving as athletes. This athletic season was marked by district, regional, and state tournaments and championships as our girls continued to show their prowess on fields, courts, and tracks.

Our golf team finished as District Runner-up, and one of our golfers competed in the State Golf Tournament. Meanwhile, our cross country team qualified for Regionals and sent one of our runners to the State Championships. Our students enjoyed a successful fall season across the board: Our varsity soccer team had a regular season record of 11-4 and hosted a District Semifinal game. And our tennis program had a combined 25-5 record, placed second in the very competitive Mid-State League competition, and had five District Qualifiers.

The vibrancy of our Upper School program remains a hallmark of the CSG experience for students, and we are looking forward to a prosperous future for the division and for the School. As we approach our 125th anniversary, our mission of empowering girls to discover their distinct potential as learners and leaders is more important than ever. As long as girls and women face gender disparities, girls’ schools, especially CSG, will remain relevant and necessary. Our School continues to provide the foundational framework to ensure generations of young women know their power and possess the skills to confidently lead and forge a path for not only themselves, but also those who come after them.

Blueprint for Success

After taking a Columbus School for Girls class that explores design applications with both art and engineering perspectives, Baillie Breckenridge ’21 knew that industrial design was well suited to her.

As a senior at CSG, Breckenridge was starting to decide what she wanted to study in college and where she wanted to attend school. She knew she was interested in a design field, specifically industrial design. She decided to take the class, Design: The Intersection of Art and Engineering, after teachers recommended it to her.

Now a second-year student at the University of Cincinnati, Breckenridge is studying industrial design in the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. She said the class she took at CSG helped her learn a great deal about the different fields included in the design world.

“I would highly recommend this class to anyone who has even the slightest interest in the design field,” she said.

At CSG, faculty are always working to evolve curricula to better meet the needs of students. One strong example of this is Design: The Intersection of Art and Engineering. This school year is the third iteration of the class, which is co-taught by Upper School Science Teacher and Form XI Dean Dr. Kevin Sweeney and Upper School Art Teacher and Fine Arts Department Chair Susan O’Connor.

The course, which counts as either an art or science credit, introduces students to design and to the designed world, building on foundational skills in math, science, and art, while applying fundamental principles of engineering, problem solving, and design. Through project-based instruction, students learn how to problem solve by applying creative skills. Students work with both 2- and 3-D designs, using design portfolios to document their ideas and results.

The idea for the course came out of the desire to better educate students who were interested in pursuing a career in

The art and engineering class that helps prep students for the world of design

various fields of design. Dr. Sweeney had previously led the School’s Robotics program and as part of that job, started tracking the intended majors of CSG graduates. He noticed that while many students planned to pursue STEM fields such as engineering, some students who started in an engineering program in college eventually moved into fields more closely related to art and design.

“It was my observation that these students loved the aspects of engineering—such as designing, making, and testing—that they were exposed to while at CSG, but when they got into their engineering program of study in college, they started to miss the more creative side of things and looked for a new path,” Dr. Sweeney said.

After O’Connor started at CSG in 2014, Dr. Sweeney approached her about his idea for a class that could combine the best of both the engineering and art worlds. She loved the idea.

“My formal training, as well as my studio practice, is very much steeped in the Fine Arts, but I had always been interested in and inspired by the link to science,” O’Connor said. “As we talked more and more, it was clear that we could do something with that intersection—that missing

creative link—which a segment of our students wanted but didn’t know how to attain.”

The class’ unique co-teaching style further highlights the important relationship between the worlds of engineering and art. O’Connor and Dr. Sweeney are both present in every class, leading content material respective to their individual fields of study: Dr. Sweeney will lead portions with engineering elements, for example, while O’Connor will instruct students in how to sketch out their ideas.

One such sketching project was one of Breckenridge’s favorite class assignments. Students were tasked with designing the “perfect” chair using the different elements of design they had learned. The experience helped her better understand what industrial designers do.

The class also helped Breckenridge connect with Columbusarea industrial designers, who came in to discuss their designs and their day-to-day responsibilities. She’s maintained contact with some of them into her college years.

Breckenridge said she learned a great deal from Dr. Sweeney and O’Connor.

“I learned a lot about the design process and what it means to create a ‘good design,’” she said.

Ever-evolving Education

An important partnership helps CSG best meet the needs of students

As part of CSG’s ongoing, student-centered approach to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), our school established a partnership with Dr. Cynthia Tyson, an awardwinning professor in the Department of Teaching and Learning within The Ohio State University’s College of Education and Human Ecology.

Dr. Tyson, who worked as an elementary classroom teacher and multicultural education staff development specialist, has served as an educational consultant to schools for initiatives including curriculum development, assessment, and policy audits. As part of a multi-year partnership with her, we’re working as a community to expand our awareness of DEIB principles, while building the foundational knowledge needed to best assess our curricula through a DEIB lens.

“While we’ve always worked to improve and adapt our curricula to the changing world to better meet the needs of our students, we also want to provide our students with relevant skill sets to better navigate a globally diverse world,” said Leisan Smith, CSG’s Chief Equity Officer.

“We want our students to be good citizens of the world,” she said.

The endeavor to carry out a DEIB-centered curriculum assessment is part of CSG’s Anti-Racism Action Plan, which includes priorities for the next two years. In addition to curriculum evaluation, the plan also focuses on recruitment and hiring of faculty, staff, and administrators; evaluating and evolving programs and traditions as necessary; developing a system for incident reporting; and communicating the work the school does daily to equip our girls with the skills and competencies they need to thrive in a diverse and multicultural world.

As CSG works to carry out the tasks outlined by the Action Plan, we also are focusing on important professional development for faculty and staff. This past school year, Dr. Tyson worked with faculty and staff in training designed to define who we are as a community and encourage reflection about interacting with students and other community members.

“Those things were important to include everyone in,” Smith said.

As the work continue, CSG will work with Dr. Tyson’s support to assess our curricula to better meet the needs of students.

Using Children’s Book Week to build community and learn in novel ways

At Columbus School for Girls, students benefit from a project-based approach that involves immersing themselves in real-world and personally meaningful projects. By connecting with the material in a hands-on way, students are able to more deeply understand and retain what they’ve learned.

CSG saw an opportunity to weave last school year’s Children’s Book Week (CBW) theme, “Wild About Reading,” into existing curricula to create unique projects that would have lasting impact. Students employed skills such as critical thinking, flexibility, collaboration, and technology literacy to investigate the amazing diversity of wild animals around the world. They also connected with each other across grade levels, building community in a meaningful way.

All three PYC classes studied ocean animals for CBW, reading nonfiction and fiction books about a variety of ocean animals—especially penguins, whales, and dolphins. Everyone worked together to paint two large ocean murals depicting toothed and baleen whales.

In Lower School, students created cross-disciplinary projects. For example, after Form II students learned about birds’ characteristics and adaptations in Science, they extended their study in Library class. While Form II

students investigated birds, Form VII students focused on aquatic life. Form VII students in Ann Marie McDonnell’s science classes built upon their trip to Stone Lab, The Ohio State University’s Lake Erie campus, transforming the windows of the Middle School Commons into Lake Erie, featuring 3D paper fish and QR codes that featured brief videos of students providing details about a specific marine animal.

The CBW theme lent itself to more than just science disciplines. Upper School students in Susan O’Connor’s Ceramics class, for example, made animal sculptures. And in their Principles of Engineering and Design class, Upper School students worked with Lower School students to design and manufacture 3D animal designs.

CBW helped students grow in knowledge and skills and also provided opportunities to build community within the school—crucial after the isolation brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. During a February Big/Little

Sister event, students teamed up to create paper vines, leaves, flowers, birds, and seahorses that were used throughout the school as decorations during CBW.

Big and Little Sisters also paired up during the culminating CBW event, a trip to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. PYC through Form XII spent a full day at the zoo, which included a morning Big/Little Sister animal scavenger hunt. The trip was a wonderful way to end a week celebrating student work and building community.

CBW has become a beloved addition to the CSG calendar. Our faculty will continue involving the entire school community in the event, which this school year has the theme Reading is Music to Our Ears. As we get further into the school year, students will incorporate the musical theme into various parts of curricula. Sound of Music, the spring musical from Middle- and Upper School students, will kick off Book Week itself.

At CSG, each year’s CBW is a celebration and culmination of literacy-related activities around a unifying, interdisciplinary theme. The ability to explore these themes through reading, research, writing, art, music, and hands-on projects allows students to delve joyfully and deeply into authentic, engaging learning. The work provides ways to build community while also building the students’ sense of pride and accomplishment in themselves.

When you buy flowers through the flower sale, t-shirts from the Unicorner, or previously loved uniforms from the Attic, your money goes toward supporting our students, faculty, and staff. Last year, the Parents’ Association presented CSG a $64k check at the end of the 2021-2022 school year.

The money is funding a variety of special initiatives for the Program for Young Children, Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School. One of the most exciting ways in which the Program for Young Children is benefiting from this generous gift is updates to the PYC playscape. In the Lower School, students will continue to have the opportunity to learn with cuttingedge educational software. In Middle and Upper schools, the funding makes enrichment activities such as Robotics, student publications, and class trips possible. To learn more about how the funds are being used this school year, you can visit the Parents’ Association page via CSG’s website.

Driven to Serve

Robin Smith ’12 in Warsaw, Poland

This past spring, Robin Smith ’12 spent two weeks in Poland helping communities learn how to better serve the Ukrainian refugees fleeing from war with Russia.

Smith spent a week in Lublin and then another week in Warsaw. Though she helped instruct teachers and school administrators in providing trauma-informed care to an influx of students, Smith also worked with individual community members interested in providing supplies and housing to refugees.

“I think I was struck by how many regular Polish citizens were doing the work,” she said.

Smith’s trip to Poland is just one example of her commitment to serving others, both at home and abroad. As she grew into adulthood, she forged a future for herself heavily influenced by a love for international study as well as leadership and philanthropy. She credits CSG with supporting her by providing foundational skills as well as the flexibility to pursue life-changing educational experiences.

Smith, who attended CSG beginning in the Program for Young Children, said her education helped her learn how to be assertive as well as how to ask for help. Certain projects and opportunities also helped foster interests that would influence her career path. In Form VII, Smith worked with other students to write grant proposals addressing issues in specific countries they’d researched. Throughout Upper School, she was involved with the Service Club, serving as Co-President her senior year. For her Senior May Program, Smith interned at the Columbus Foundation.

Smith was also grateful for her participation in a YWCA program called Bright Futures, in which she learned foundational leadership skills with other central Ohio students. CSG nominated her and also provided the funding for her participation in the program, which was held one weekend per month over the course of Smith’s junior year.

“I think about that experience a lot, even today,” she said.

While Smith spent much of her formative years exploring her passion for service, she also learned how much she enjoyed traveling to and studying places outside the U.S. During her sophomore year at CSG, she was an exchange student in

Ecuador. The summer before her junior year, she got a job to pay for a trip to Moscow to visit her host family from Ecuador (who had moved there because her host dad worked at the Russian Embassy). That trip inspired her to spend a year in Russia after graduating from CSG.

Smith went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Russian and Political Science from The Ohio State University and a Master of Arts degree in Applied Psychology from the University of Washington. Now living in Seattle, she works for a dialectical behavioral therapy clinic as a mental health therapist. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Smith volunteered as a behavioral health first responder in Seattle to work with children affected by the pandemic suffering from child abuse, traumatic grief, anxiety, and depression.

As volunteer efforts developed abroad in response to the war between Ukraine and Russia, Smith was asked to deploy with psychologists and psychiatrists from the University of Washington, Seattle University, and National Center for School Mental Health because of her experience living and working in that part of the world. (She lived in Russia and then worked in Kyrgyzstan.) Though that trip has concluded, Smith continues to volunteer in Seattle on behalf of refugees abroad.

Working with Jewish Family Services, Smith is assisting refugees applying for asylum in the U.S. She’s also part of a virtual exchange program sponsored by America House Kyiv/ IREX to share resources with medical providers living in Ukraine.

Smith said her service work has given her the opportunity to see the ways in which those from different countries help each other. The experiences have shown her just how adaptable people can be in finding ways to survive.

“People are really resilient,” she said.

Biking Abroad

During her junior year at CSG, Ruthie Saar ’22 happened to discover a journal from her mother, Julie Schottenstein Saar ’84, detailing her month-long biking journey in 1981 through much of Europe.

“I read the entire thing in one sitting and knew that one day I wanted to redo the trip,” Saar said.

The CSG graduate didn’t have to wait long for her opportunity. For her Senior May Program, Saar and her mother visited Europe and France this past school year to recreate the trip her mother made over 40 years ago. Though the trip was three weeks long this time around and smaller in scope, Saar said the experience taught her many valuable lessons.

“I learned more about myself and how to challenge my comfort levels, especially when it came to biking up to 60 miles each day,” she said. “Learning to be comfortable with the uncomfortable is something I continue to teach and reteach myself.”

Saar had already decided in Form IX that she wanted her May Program project to be based on something that she wouldn’t typically have time to do—something that she might regret not doing once she was older. So as a Form XII student, she began to discuss the logistics of her trip with Dr. Emily Krichbaum, who as the Director of the Center for Girls’ and Young Women’s Leadership leads the Senior May Program. “I immediately said that my mom should join me so that she would have the chance to recreate her trip, but with new perspectives and a little more wisdom,” Saar said.

During the summer before her sophomore year at CSG, Julie Schottenstein Saar spent a month abroad, biking through England, France, Belgium, and Holland. Ruthie Saar recreated that trip on a smaller scale, visiting England and France for the first time.

At school, Saar learned that her anxiety about receiving high marks on her assignments wasn’t constructive. She found being flexible was necessary, both at school and during the trip abroad with her mother. The two often had to make last-second decisions, such as deciding where to eat in the evenings or quickly hopping off subways and determining the correct course of travel.

“This lesson helped me understand that I’m not always going to have every detail of my day or my job planned out, and that I can take things as they come rather than overthinking and overplanning,” she said.

While Saar learned valuable lessons during her trip, she also was able to apply skills she learned at CSG.

“I genuinely believe that CSG has not only prepared me to take on the world, but also to do so independently,” she said. “CSG has given me the confidence, strength, and grace to live my life to the fullest, and I will always remember the impact growing up at the school has had on me.”

As Saar and her mother biked to and from landmarks across the two countries, Saar learned the importance of going with the flow. Throughout the trip she tried to be more relaxed and flexible, something she also had been working toward while managing a challenging course load at CSG. Saar appreciated CSG’s understanding and helpful teachers, who were able to create a calming environment in their classrooms. Ruthie

Under the Sea

The Class of 2022 turned CSG into a watery wonderland with their “Just Keep Swimming” Senior Day theme, based on the 2003 hit film Finding Nemo. The students outdid themselves decorating the School with a plethora of underwater sea creatures—and of course—seagulls. Seniors prepared a carnival experience for each division, featuring snacks, face painting, games, and more. Proceeds from the fundraiser went toward the Class of 2022’s Senior Gift.

POWER OF PHILANTHROPY

Lifting up the faculty and staff at CSG

At CSG, our faculty are trailblazers in education working tirelessly to give each student an innovative and empowering learning environment. They challenge even our youngest learners to think big and bold, yet provide a safe space to fail and try again. Through Power & Promise, our community came together to raise the necessary funds to lift up our faculty salary and benefit packages to be in the top 25% of peer schools, allowing CSG to appeal to the most sought-after teachers across the country and retain our current exemplary faculty.

Leading a culture of change in STEM

The world needs more women leaders in STEM, and CSG has the expertise to prepare them. Over the past three years, CSG has invested deeply through Power & Promise in creating a computer science curriculum that launched and solidified our partnership with HER (Her Educational Revolution) Academy. And we are already seeing results: Of our 2022 graduating class, 51% indicated that they are pursuing a STEM field in college and 12% are pursuing computer science.

Considering that the national average for girls’ school graduates pursuing a computer science degree is 4.4%, it is clear to see that CSG is leading a culture of change that truly celebrates women in technology.

Inspiring the next generation of female leaders

Through Power & Promise, CSG has secured the funding to launch the Center for Girls’ and Young Women’s Leadership, a signature program that will strengthen CSG’s leadership curriculum, expand partnerships with local organizations and universities, and provide opportunities for all girls in the central Ohio area to connect, learn, and collaborate with one another. The Center will propel CSG into a new era of leadership among our nation’s independent schools and, more importantly, inspire the next generation of female leaders in our city, region, nation, and world.

Thanks to the philanthropic power of our community, CSG has been able to fund the following Power & Promise priorities.

Level the playing field

Athletics play a vital role in the lives of countless CSG students. Our studentathletes are passionate and with every practice and contest, they exude strength and grace. Prior to this season, CSG was one of the few schools in Ohio who have field hockey and lacrosse programs, but did not have a turf field. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we have installed a state-of-the-art turf field on CSG’s Kirk Campus, ensuring our student-athletes are able compete at the highest level and be successful.

The promise of tomorrow

Celebrating a legacy of strength and grace was at the heart of Tad and Nancy Jeffrey’s decision to give an incredible $2.5 million gift to Columbus School for Girls in support of tuition assistance and the endowment. Their transformative gift was instrumental in reaching our Power & Promise endowment goal and providing a more secure, stable financial future for our school. Through this gift and the support of our community, CSG is set up for long-term fiscal success that will have a lasting impact for generations of girls and young women to come.

A community where all of our students belong

CSG celebrates diversity and is committed to building a community where all members feel safe, connected, and respected. Through Power & Promise, we deepened our investment in our equity, inclusion, and belonging work, with a continued focus on our anti-racism action plan and practices, strengthening our ability to be a more equitable and inclusive community.

Thank you to our Campaign Co-Chairs, Campaign Cabinet, Alumnae Challengers, Parent Committee, Faculty and Staff Working Group, and other invaluable volunteers for dedicating countless hours of service towards ensuring that Power & Promise will be successful. This campaign is truly a community effort, and we are so grateful for your commitment to our students and school!

PROMISE TO OUR STUDENTS

Maintaining the financial foundation

Every year, CSG faces a funding gap between tuition income and expenses. For each student enrolled at CSG, we must raise $3,000 to fully cover the cost of her education and provide her with transformative experiences in and out of the classroom. To do this, our entire community comes together—alumnae, parents, family, and friends—to help bridge this gap by giving to the Annual Fund. Annual Fund gifts, made in tandem with campaign gifts, will help maintain CSG’s financial foundation while providing additional flexibility to address immediate needs of the school. A flourishing Annual Fund is a critical component to a successful future for CSG.

Expanding access to a CSG education

CSG is committed to ensuring that any student who could flourish and thrive at our beloved school has the opportunity to do so. Access and affordability are critical components of our community. CSG students come from more than 50 zip codes and a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. During the 2021-2022 school year, CSG awarded $2.3 million in tuition assistance to 36% of our student body. CSG’s tuition assistance program ensures that a premier CSG education is accessible to families all over central Ohio.

Living a global leadership experience

All students at CSG should have a chance to experience what it means to be a global citizen—to understand that humanity binds all communities and cultures together, that friendships transcend borders, that the exchange of knowledge is a two-way street. This priority will create a fund to expand access so that every Upper School student, regardless of financial background, will have the opportunity to have a global experience and become a globally competent woman of action.

Though we have made incredible progress and have much to celebrate, we must rally together to fulfill our promise to our students in the following areas.

Investing in faculty and staff professional development

By investing in professional development, CSG will provide opportunities that expand our faculty’s expertise in cultural competency and maintain CSG’s high caliber of academic excellence. Whether it’s our science faculty exploring the biological diversity in the Galapagos, our art teachers visiting new exhibits in premier museums, or our staff developing innovative ideas at conferences across the country, this initiative will strategically invest in our faculty to enhance CSG’s academic excellence and student experience.

Your gift can be made by mailing the enclosed envelope or by visiting www.columbusschoolforgirls.org/giving/give-now.

Congratulations, Class of 2022

Though rain fell for much of the afternoon on May 27, 2022, it did not dampen the excitement in the air as the CSG community assembled to honor the Class of 2022.

This was the day that each student had been working toward since the start of their CSG career. The pride and joy they felt could be seen on their faces as they exited the ceremony with diplomas in hand—it could be heard in the traditional senior scream that erupted after they recessed out from under the great white tent and onto the Cinderella stairs.

But in addition to the excitement and joy, the ceremony was also poignant at times, recognizing that the start of a new chapter comes only with the closing of another. During her speech to classmates, Student Council President Cynthia Alexander ’22 described the late-night phone conversations her mother—also a CSG grad—often has with her fellow alumnae.

“While we say goodbye to each other today, know that our late-night conversations will never end, and that we’ll be laughing about our time here at CSG for the rest of our lives,” Alexander said. “If home is a group of people, then you all are my home. I know that I’ll have a part of my home wherever you are,” she said.

Alexander told the CSG community that she was grateful—for her fellow students, for their families who supported them and celebrated their achievements, for their teachers and administrators.

“Our teachers here haven’t just taught us formulas, names, and dates,” she said. “They taught us to be warm, compassionate, generous, and understanding. They taught us to appreciate the world around us and to love learning.”

During her speech, commencement speaker Lucy Kirk ’58 also expressed gratitude for the time she spent learning at CSG.

Cynthia Alexander ’22

Lucy Kirk ’58

Kirk told the Class of 2022 that after she left CSG and embarked on the beginning of her higher education at Wellesley College, she knew she wanted to do something different, but she wasn’t yet sure what that was.

“I had no idea what I was going to do,” she said.

Kirk shared the path that her higher education and career ultimately took: How time spent living in Argentina for an

international program ultimately inspired her to pursue a master’s degree in international relations, and how that later led to a career in the CIA that would include domestic and overseas assignments.

She urged each member of the Class of 2022 to listen to their inner voice and pursue their passion.

“Let that lead you into and through your life,” she said.

Breaking Glass Ceilings

CSG alumna Lucy Kirk ’58 persevered to land coveted roles in the CIA

When Commencement speaker Lucy Kirk ’58 entered a special training program upon joining the CIA, she experienced a major culture shock.

Kirk, who had for the majority of her educational career attended all-girl schools, found herself in a class with nine women and 90 men.

“I wasn’t prepared for that,” she said.

But throughout her career in the CIA, which spanned from 1967 to 2000, Kirk worked to overcome the adversity she faced as a female in a male-dominated field. And throughout it all, she used the foundational skills she said her education at Columbus School for Girls provided her.

“I just got a fabulous education there,” she said.

Kirk first attended CSG in kindergarten, but later left to attend public school, returning to CSG in Form VIII and staying through Upper School. During her time as a Unicorn, Kirk was heavily involved in student council, serving as Secretary her junior year and President her senior year.

After graduating from CSG, Kirk knew she wanted to do something different, but was unsure exactly what path to take. She headed to Wellesley College and earned a bachelor’s degree in American Studies.

One of the defining moments of Kirk’s early life came after she earned her undergraduate degree, when she spent time living with a family in Argentina for the Experiment in International Living program. She fell in love with the area and the culture, and the experience sparked an interest in an international relations career.

After graduating with a master’s degree in International Relations and Latin American Studies, Kirk joined the CIA. As a female in a male-dominated workforce, she faced a considerable amount of discrimination and struggled to get overseas assignments.

“I really didn’t want people to dislike me,” Kirk said. “I wasn’t out to rattle cages and have fights.”

Despite these challenges, Kirk persevered. During the course of her career, she held positions of increasing responsibility in multiple cities across the country including New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and San Francisco.

From 1989 to 1993, she served stateside as a Chief of Station, working in close collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigations, The Immigration and Naturalization Services, and U.S. Customs. She served as the liaison officer within the Office of Congressional Affairs from 1993 to 1996 before serving in London as the First Secretary of the U.S. Embassy from 1996 to 1999.

“I had the best assignment of my life,” she said of her service abroad. “It was just wonderful.”

After leaving the CIA, Kirk continued to stay active, pursuing a new career in real estate and teaching courses about the Cold War. In 2020, she published her first book, The Poison Factory: Operation Kamera, a spy novel set in 2012.

In addition to spending time writing her own stories, Kirk has remained focused on learning the stories of others. Though time has passed since Kirk first received her education at CSG, she’s very much still a student, taking courses in literature and history where she lives in New York City.

“I’m picking up where I left off,” she said. “And it’s great.”

More than 125 alumnae with graduation years ranging from 1950 to 2019 gathered April 29-30 for the first in-person Alumnae Weekend in two years. Virtual and hybrid elements were also offered in order to include alumnae who were unable to travel or attend in person.

The celebration included inducting 59 seniors into the alumnae community, recognizing longtime Director of Development at CSG Carolyn Thomas Christy ’60 as Alumna of the Year, and honoring Saba Rehan ’22 with the Virginia Colgan McCloud Award as voted by her peers. Attendees also toasted outgoing Head of School Jennifer Ciccarelli and made her an honorary member of the

Alumnae Association to thank her for her eight years as CSG’s leader.

As festivities continued, alumnae experienced hands-on learning. They met with faculty and students to learn about CSG opportunities in the areas of leadership; global engagement; computer science; and diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. Though they didn’t know it at the time, these sessions were an exclusive preview of the Power & Promise campaign for our Alumnae Weekend goers.

Attendees congratulated members of the Class of 1972 for celebrating their milestone 50th reunion, and everyone learned the new CSG Fight Song together. Alumnae also devoted time to honoring fundraising efforts. The Class of 1987 was awarded the Red/Gold Cup for the most funds raised, while the Class of 1967 earned the Champagne Cup for the highest participation in giving to the Annual Fund.

Perhaps most prominent throughout the weekend were the connections made between alumnae and students. Carol Benua Major ’67 and Natasha Spivak ’22 formed a quick friendship during the networking reception and planned to keep in touch. Anne Jeffrey Wright ’70 offered Carly Priest ’22 a place to do her laundry next year—Carly is a studentathlete at Haverford College now just minutes away from Anne. And Caroline Orrick ’72 and Zydeco Lamaze ’22 connected over their love of clowning!

Plan to join us next Alumnae Weekend April 28-29, 2023. Remember, all classes are always welcome!

In the meantime, please be sure to stay connected through CSG Connect by visiting Columbus School for Girls and installing the mobile app “CSG Connect” through the

Leveling Up

CSG alumna Laura Raines ’09 embraces problem solving with Google role

Laura Raines ’09 never saw herself at Google. As a college student at the University of Michigan, the CSG alum assumed Google was only for those with technical and computer programming skills.

“I never really felt like it was an opportunity or an option for me,” she said.

But Raines defied her own expectations by joining Google as Programmatic Account Strategist in 2015, working with large companies to assist them with their online advertising. The 31 year old credits her experience at CSG for fostering within her the curiosity and eagerness to learn that would become vital in taking her career to the next level.

“It’s not about being a technical person or being able to code,” she said. “It’s about being able to solve problems. Once you get into the real world, it’s the knowledge that you get on the job that’s the most important,” she said.

At Google, Raines works with companies to figure out how to solve marketing challenges and drive business results from ads that Google helps display across the internet. She likes that what she does results in tangible benefits for these clients. Raines got the opportunity to apply for her role through a friend, and she had already built the foundational skills necessary for the job right out of college. After graduating from the University of Michigan in May of 2013 with a double major in communications and informatics (a combination of computer programming, statistics, and online information systems), Raines landed a job that August with programmatic advertising business, Rocket Fuel.

Though Rocket Fuel introduced Raines to the world of online advertising, she began learning the soft skills needed for career success much earlier. Raines attended Columbus School for Girls from Form VI through XII, and she said her experiences instilled in her a curiosity she still carries today.

During her sophomore year in Upper School, Raines participated in a program led by Dr. Kevin Sweeney in which

she and other students, working with power tools, invented a reenvisioned locker—and presented it at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For her Senior May Program, Raines did a public relations internship at Victoria’s Secret, an experience that would motivate her to pursue communications upon entering college.

While CSG gave Raines unique educational opportunities, the all-girl setting also contributed to her growth. Raines talked often in her classes and she said attending classes with fellow girls helped give her the confidence to take risks.

“I always felt comfortable raising my hand in class and providing my perspective or asking a question—I never really secondguessed myself,” she said. “It was always a learning opportunity.”

Attending classes with fellow girls helped give me the confidence to take risks.

Embracing Entrepreneurship

CSG alumna Camryn Pickworth ’17 forges her own creative career path

One of the biggest lessons Camryn Pickworth ’17 has learned is to ignore her detractors.

Women are often told they can’t or shouldn’t do certain things. Through starting and owning a business, Pickworth has learned the importance of trusting herself to take risks. The CSG alumna started her own business, The First Pick VA Group, during her junior year in college in an effort to build a strong virtual assistant network that both supports female freelancers and provides top-notch service to clients.

Now, she wants other young women to know that options exist outside of the traditional career trajectory that allow for an easier work-life balance.

“Girls have the option to take an alternative path, even if it doesn’t always feel that way,” Pickworth said.

Exploring freelance opportunities during her sophomore year of college at Willamette University put Pickworth on her own path to entrepreneurship. She found that working as a virtual assistant was both more rewarding and lucrative than working traditional college jobs in food service or retail. The 23-year-old also found that the more she worked, the more her clients came to depend on and trust her to find great contractors for workplace needs.

In 2020 while a junior at Willamette, Pickworth started The First Pick VA Group, a virtual assistant agency that offers training and mentorship to freelancers before connecting them with clients. The First Pick VA Group consists of six core virtual assistants as well as a referral network available for clients in search of more specialized skills. In the next three years, she hopes to expand her team to as many as 50 virtual assistants.

“We’ve been very fortunate to have a positive reaction from our amazing clients,” Pickworth said.

The agency’s virtual assistants take on an assortment of tasks including clerical assignments, such as email communications, spreadsheets, and general research. Clients include entrepreneurs, consultants, nonprofits, and small- and mid-sized businesses.

When new professionals join Pickworth’s team, they spend one month being trained by senior-level assistants before working with their first client. During this period, they learn how to engage with clients and receive personalized mentorship as they hone their skills.

Contract work can be isolating and disorganized. Pickworth said her business offers freelance workers the opportunity to have a team of people to go to with questions as well as a safe and secure environment to practice their work.

“We are looking to be the ethical foundation for freelance work moving forward,” she said. “By creating a community, we really are a community, and we really are friends on top of demanding a high level of respect and care from our clients. We are creating a safe and ethical workplace while also providing top quality services.”

While Pickworth is focused on growing her community of virtual assistants over the next few years, she also wants to embrace opportunities outside her growing business.

ALUMNAE

She’s since graduated from Willamette and holds a B.A. in Civic Communications in Media with a minor in Psychology and Women & Gender Studies. In addition to earning her degree, Pickworth now carries with her the experience of forging a unique career path for herself. She is now an organizational strategist and wants to continue looking for entrepreneurial opportunities while branching into business consulting.

Pickworth specializes in organization and business strategy and provides the helping hand that many clients, business owners, and organizations need to efficiently run their operations. Currently, she primarily works with entrepreneurs and nonprofits. In the future she is open to speaking to professional or student-based groups about productivity,

organization, or entrepreneurship within life and the workplace. She’s also interested in working with small- to mid-sized businesses as an organizational strategy consultant.

Her experience founding her own business has taught Pickworth that risk taking is important, and failure is part of the learning process. The most important thing, she said, is to try.

“If you have a goal, go after it,” she said.

Nancy Lurie Salzman ’50’s youngest, Jim, is a visiting professor at Harvard Law School two blocks away, so she gets to see him and his wife. She writes: “I have a to-do list for him, including cutting fallen branches into logs. Two granddaughters are working in London, England, and I hope to visit them after COVID-19. My three grandsons are in the USA. My whole Israel family (son, his wife, my grandson, and my granddaughter and her husband) all got COVID-19, although all were vaccinated. Their two grandbabies (my great-grandbabies) also got COVID-19, but all survived. My son David’s widow lives nearby—my only family in Boston. I swim 30 minutes three times a week, walk other days. So I fully expect to celebrate my 100th—and to enjoy our CSG Reunions for years to come. Much to do in Boston, so I only decamp in the summer to Martha’s Vineyard: for family, garden, swimming, and sailing.”

Nancy Benua ’67 “Benny” had an extended solo at the Maturango Museum in Ridgecrest, California on the edge of the Mojave Desert in spring of 2022 and sold

paintings. There are special permits to gather desert blossoms, and she requested an extension to place them beneath her paintings. If you Google search her art name, Benny Alba, and the show title, Dusk and Bright Horizons, there is an interview with a family story and some of the paintings. “I am close to San Antonio, Texas to pick up an elderly, full Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue. Sister Mary Margaret will join this elderly woman and her other elderly dog soon!”

CSG’s Class of 1967 invites all alums to join us in supporting CSG juniors and seniors who have limited financial resources to attend the college of their choice. Our class created the College Access Fund (CAF) in 2019 to cover incidental expenses for families who may not be able to afford the costs of college application fees, tutoring, fees for college readiness exams (SAT/ACT/ AP), and the like. The need clearly exists, with approximately 36% of CSG families today receiving some form of tuition assistance. We are hoping to build this fund into an endowment that would support CSG students for many years to come.

We hope that you will consider supplementing your annual gift to CSG with an additional contribution to the College Access Fund. Checks to the College Access Fund can be made at any time of year and mailed to CSG, Development Office, 65 S. Drexel Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43209.

The 1989 and 1993-1995 teams reached the conference tournament finals. Davis’ contributions to the sport of tennis extend beyond the college game, as she has her PTR professional level as well as USTA high performance certification. She holds numerous teaching and tennis director positions, including Tennis Director at The Country Club at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio.

In recognition of the 50th anniversary of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the University of Notre Dame, its Athletics Department, and the Notre Dame Monogram Club award more than 250 honorary monograms to passionate women who paved the way for the success of the university’s current women’s varsity programs. Among those recognized will be Rev. Dr. Anne Dilenschneider ’73 . Anne played field hockey at Notre Dame and was the first woman lifeguard and first woman swimming instructor. She will be honored at the UNLV game in October with the official monogram jacket ceremony. Her CSG field hockey stick that she used to play for Notre Dame still hangs on her office wall. Women’s athletics have come so far!

During the South Dakota legislative session, Anne was interviewed by local and national media on issues related to transgender healthcare, her specialty area. She continues to lecture at University of South Dakota’s Sanford School of Medicine on transgender healthcare. She has been asked to serve on the Diversity, Inclusion & Community Engagement Committee of the Global Education Institute (GEI) for the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH).

Jayne Miles Schiefer ’76 attended CSG from Form II through VI. She writes, “although I’ve lost contact with my old classmates, I remember them very well. Our elementary years were memorable, and even though I didn’t graduate with this class you will always be my classmates. After finishing high school at Upper Arlington and attending Ohio State, I finished my college years at the University of Arizona with a BFA. Marriage and children have kept me busy over the years. From Columbus to Pittsburgh to Chapel Hill, and a year in Grand Rapids—my husband Mark and I have made our home in Venice, Florida now for over 15 years. We have two daughters and six grandchildren. My mother is the class representative for the class of ’51. I would love to hear from my former classmates.”

Can’t wait to see what adventures await these ladies in their new hometowns.

Susan Dawson-Cook ’81 , M.S. has not only been Swimming with Dolphins (for real), but her book of the same name is available as an e-book on Amazon (paperbacks available soon).

Shelagh Connor ’81 was a fiction judge for the Vermont Book Award in 2022. She reports that it was a great experience. The winning book, The Hare, by Melanie Finn, is a feminist literary thriller (incredible writing). Shelagh is now working on the board of the Green Mountain Book Festival, which will bring a new annual festival to Burlington in September, during Banned Books Week. The headliner is Ruth Ozeki, another incredible novelist. Shelagh is also working on a revision of a new novel, and she is trying to find a publisher for a nonfiction book proposal: a craft book which would include the wisdom (through 14 years and counting) of guests from her radio show, Write the Book, as well as her own advice about writing.

Also in Vermont… Jenny Brown Cohen ’81 is thriving and still loves living in Burlington and teaching high school English. She warmly invites you to give her a call if you are ever in the area!

Her interest in public health grew during her time in college at New York University in Shanghai, China. She studied public health as an undergraduate and was hoping to go to the Peace Corps right after graduation in 2020, but the pandemic stopped that plan in its tracks. Eleanor doesn’t yet know what her responsibilities in Uganda will be. She could be doing anything from maternal to child health, HIV and AIDS assistance, water sanitation, or countless other activities.
