Whit Willocks holds undergraduate and master’s degrees from the University of Virginia, where she was a member of the women’s lacrosse team from 2005–2010 and captained the team in 2010. A U.S. Lacrosse High School All American in ’03, ’04, and ’05 and three-time ACC Champion and NCAA Runner up, Whit is passionate about the role athletics plays in a student’s life. At Kimball Union, Whit is a college advisor, lacrosse coach, and head dorm parent of the Kilton Dorm. She lives in Kilton with husband, James, and daughter, Charlie. In her spare time, Whit is training for the New York City Marathon this fall.

It is my responsibility to ensure that every one of my players believes they can do anything and are stronger than they imagine. As your team comes together this year, what advice do you have?

Sandy Reavill P’18 What is your favorite aspect of teaching?

Math Instructor STEM Coordinator Sandy passionately creates collaborative, student-centered learning spaces where students ‘do’ mathematics. From building Dr. George Hart’s 12-pointed card star on the ďŹ rst day of geometry class to creating a mathematical art studio on the last day, she shows students the real work of the professional mathematician. Her commitment to rigor and relevance are made visible in her active classroom on a daily basis. She holds an MS in mathematics for secondary educators and has started a second post-graduate degree in educational leadership. Sandy also enjoys her role as an Interscholastic Equestrian Association coach and rides for fun. She and her four children live in Quechee, Vermont.

How does STEM integrate into a KUA education?

Along the same lines, a STEM exploration allows students a myriad of opportunities to take charge of their own learning. My hope for the future of STEM at KUA is that every STEM scholar will approach their study individually, and, with the supļ port of a STEM advisor, will design a rigorous course of study that is not just relevant to their discipline of interest, but is also relevant to their own life. In this way, critical thinkļ ers become lifelong learners who contribute to the school community and the global community. You love math!

A GLOBAL STUDENT EXPERIENCE 40

KIMBALL UNION MAGAZINE

IN THE FIRST WEEK OF JULY, KIMBALL UNION ACADEMY HOSTED THE 5TH ANNUAL GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR INNOVATIVE LEARNING CONFERENCE. THIS YEAR’S THEME WAS "LEADERSHIP AND ETHICAL DECISION MAKING". HERE ARE SOME VOICES FROM STUDENTS WHO ATTENDED FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE.

LIZ - Kimball Union Describe GAIL in one word: Welcoming I wanted to come to GAIL just for the opportunity to have the discussions with such a great variety of different perspectives. Hearing and learning from a variety of voices is not something we do enough in our American society. GAIL is a group of students who care about the world we live in and understand that the world has problems. We come from different areas and have different beliefs, but at the end of the day, we are all humans and we need to ďŹ nd a way to get along. We want not only to better ourselves, but also want to better the community and we know that cannot be accomplished without respecting other opinions. FALL ĽŅņ

AVELA – Prestige College Describe GAIL in one word: Fun I’ve spent time here with people from Scotland, India, New Zealand, and America and I’ve realized we are quite similar. It shows that we all come from the same place—we may be different colors, come from different parts of the world, have very different weather, but those are really just small differences. We are all human beings and we all live the same.

JESSIE - Robert Gordon’s College Describe GAIL in one word: Phenomenal I wanted to come to the GAIL conference to meet new people and learn about new cultures around the world. Many of us don’t get to experience this at all, so the fact that I can come here and make so many new friends whilst learning so much is just phenomenal. GAIL to me means seven schools, around the world, meeting together and not only learning together but having an incredible time together. Making so many new friendships, having so much fun while doing it, experiencing so many new cultural activities that you cannot experience back in Scotland or New Zealand, for example. It’s just amazing.

JOSHUA – Kristin School Describe GAIL in one word: International I wanted to come to GAIL because it seemed like a far more interactive way of learning. Having people from around the world from diverse cultural backgrounds makes this experience so unique. We’ve seen different takes on the same problems from different cultural perspectives and identities. GAIL means learning in a new way, a way that I believe will become the way of learning in the future. It is far more interactive, which is far more engaging than I am used to.

KIMBALL UNION MAGAZINE

EMOS – Western International School of Shanghai Describe GAIL in one word: Interesting My favorite part of the GAIL conference has been the school sharing. I got to run an activity on one of my favorite hobbies, which is yo-yoing. It was fun to see people interact with and learn about something we enjoy in our culture. GAIL is about trying to improve my conďŹ dence. I am a relatively shy person when speaking to other people and around here, people are kind and willing to talk to anyone, regardless of where they come from. It is comforting. Â

SAM – Scotch College Describe GAIL in one word: Harmonious GAIL means quite a bit to me. It has been a big part of my life in preparation for the last couple months. I’ve loved the program so far and I see it as an opportunity to expand my horizons and learn about people from all around the world. I’ve met so many people and it has only been a few days.Â

KHUSHI – The Woodstock School Describe GAIL in one word: Colorful My favorite part about GAIL is the people. I know that’s a clichĂŠ thing to say, but the very top reason I signed up for this is to meet new people. There is an energy about this place, a vibe that really energizes you. I wanted to come to this conference mainly to step out of my comfort zone. We’ve been talking a lot this week about the ‘growth zone,’ and how the further you step outside of your comfort zone the more you grow. I’m a pretty introverted person who gets energy from being alone in a quiet place. But I know that meeting new people is where new ideas come from and where innovative ideas start to happen.
