Acknowledgements

First and foremost, I thank my friend and colleague Dan Harder most effusively for A Look Back. Dan’s book was published to celebrate the school’s 50th Anniversary. In crafting this sexagennial narrative, I leaned heavily on Dan’s careful primary and secondary source research and delightful prose.

Thinking Internationally is a different beast. As a 60th Anniversary quasi-sequel to A Look Back, it moves very swiftly through the first five decades and takes a closer look at 20122022. The main source material for the current project was a bulky collection of archival copies of La Lettre, the school’s signature magazine produced with aplomb by Director of Publications, Rick Gydesen. I am grateful to Rick for this charismatic source material. The work also leans heavily on accreditation documentation, Head and Principal communications, scripts of Marketing and Admission events, and the school website. The details and chronology of the relentless march of tumultuous global historical events that pepper the narrative were multiple tertiary source websites that included: The Atlantic, The Smithsonian, Department of State: Office of the Historian, The Economist, and the BBC.

Thanks are due to the school’s entire shifting cast of colorful characters. A list of thought partners and influencers who contributed directly and indirectly to this work includes, but is not limited to:
