We empower individuals to seek their own journeys. Lausanne recognizes that every student has their own interests and unique personality. By creating a learning environment that empowers individuals to seek their own journeys, students can build their intellectual and social strength, discover their passions and accomplish their goals. In a continuously changing and complex world, we believe it is vital for students to be confident in who they are and what they want to achieve in life. The International Baccalaureate Programme implemented in our classroom curriculum fosters self-advocacy and the opportunity to engage with different interests. It challenges students to become problem solvers and creative thinkers who take risks and fearlessly pursue their aspirations to secure a satisfying future.

LETTER FROM THE HEADMASTER
After many years of service in an educational environment, I believe it is essential to create an authentic culture that fosters self-discovery and helps students build the skills needed to achieve their goals. At Lausanne, we recognize that with authenticity comes trust, accountability and the right steps to ensure students have the opportunity to learn and grow. Much of this process is unseen but exists in the form of pre-planning and post evaluation. We do this because we want our students to prosper during their time here and through life after graduation. Recently, we had the privilege of working on a project with Melissa Goodwin Shepherd ’98, an alumna who shared that the confidence she built during her time at Lausanne empowered her to pursue her dreams. As you’ll read in pages 20–23, our former student created an animated video depicting the different ways Lausanne provides an innovative learning environment for its students and prepares them to seek their own path in the future. Seeing Melissa thrive in her field is a reminder of why it is vital to encourage students to explore their interests and serves as an example of what the right educational atmosphere can help accomplish. Lausanne realizes that the days of teachers standing at the front of the room lecturing while students passively listen are long gone. Instead, we provide classroom experiences that involve collaborative learning, open-ended discussions and a joyful and challenging learning process all with the guidance from educators who care. As a result, students have a higher level of curiosity and engagement and they inquire about subjects and interests that are important to them. It is precisely this learning environment that not only empowers our students but also requires them to seek their own journeys. It is The Lausanne Way.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
A group of junior kindergartners gathered next to the window, eagerly trying to catch a glimpse of the excitement happening outside their classroom. “You all will have the chance to do this someday too,� said JK teacher Mrs. Roberson as the students pointed out the familiar faces they had seen around campus all year. Outside the Early Childhood classroom, the Class of 2019 sat on the concrete steps of the amphitheater preparing to have their picture taken for the annual group photo, a senior tradition that takes place at the end of every school year. The students proudly donned t-shirts representing different schools across the globe, in recognition of the college or university they had chosen to attend after graduation.

The students were genuinely happy, and that is one of the reasons Lausanne empowers individuals to seek their own journeys. We recognize that happiness comes in different forms and every passion, every goal and every student is unique. Creating an environment that helps students discover who they are and what they want in life is important because when the day comes for the junior kindergartners watching from the window to confidently display their college t-shirt, we want them to be smiling too. In the following pages, you will see different stories about where the path to self-discovery has led some of our students during their time at Lausanne. Every journey featured in this magazine is distinctive and extraordinary, just like our Lynx.

LAUSANNE FALL 2019
As I set up my camera, I could not help but overhear some of the small talk taking place around me. Some seniors spoke about the career path they planned to pursue while others expressed their excitement over acceptance to the school they always wanted to attend.
The anticipation for college and curiosity for what life after Lausanne may entail differed with each conversation, but one thing remained constant: a smile on their faces as they confidently spoke about their futures.

Lausanne students make the icy plunge into the Arthur family pool
THREE-TWOONE-PLUNGE! Having friends from the Lausanne community over to swim was a regular summertime occurrence at the Arthur family household. However, this time was a bit different because it was the middle of winter, and the water was ice cold.

At the time, Merrick Arthur ‘28 had been learning in class about a fungal disease that was endangering the bat population in North America, and his concern for the species made him want to find a way to help. With assistance from his siblings Violet ’29 and Gus ’29, Merrick came up with the idea of hosting a Polar Bear Plunge benefit that raised money by challenging their friends to jump into the frigid pool water. Students and families from Lausanne came together to participate in the event and donate to the cause, which resulted in raising more than $1,000 for the Nature Conservancy’s efforts to protect the bat population. Since the inaugural Polar Bear Plunge, the siblings have raised money for the Memphisbased National Foundation of Transplants and the Save the Bees initiative, inspired by learning the importance of pollinators in their classes at Lausanne.
“Our children have thrived at Lausanne,” said Shannon Arthur, mom to Merrick, Violet and Gus. “The small class sizes allow the team of educators to give the kids individualized attention and to channel their quirks into strengths and talents. We love that students are encouraged to become the best versions of themselves instead of being expected to fit into a one-size-fits-all mold.”
LAUSANNE FALL 2019
“We expose students to the world so they have opportunity to discover what is important to them, what they are passionate about and in time what they want to help change,” said Head of Lower School Kara Barbour. “When Merrick, Violet and Gus felt empathetic toward the bat issue, they took action and the Lausanne community was right there to support them, because we believe it is important to empower our students to follow the path that their hearts lead them.”
The Arthurs came to Lausanne when Merrick was in Junior Kindergarten and his younger siblings Violet and Gus followed behind a year later. The school’s global focus and effort to bring together families from diverse backgrounds reflected their own personal values, and they loved that the educational environment provided students with various opportunities to succeed.

PRACTICING MINDFULNESS EVERYDAY KEEPS NEGATIVE THOUGHTS AWAY Feeling butterflies in your stomach before performing in front of an audience is normal. For Rebecca Bathala ’27, that fluttering feeling sets in right before a piano recital, but she eases her nervousness by using a technique she practices in her fifth-grade classes. “Right before I’m about to play the piano on stage, I close my eyes and slowly breathe in and out to help me relax and feel prepared to perform,” Rebecca said. At Lausanne, we believe it is essential to promote self-confidence so students can be successful when pursuing their interests, and one of the ways our Middle School works to achieve this is by practicing mindfulness techniques.
Rebecca Batahla ’27, Ida Russell ’27, Sophie Page ’27 and Logic Cox ’27 show that mindfulness techniques can be practiced many different ways.

Logic Cox ’27 leads Rebecca Batahla ’27, Sophie Page ’27 and Ida Russell ’27 in a mindful moment.
Students in fifth through eighth grade participate in a mindful moment before each class period to help them reset and prepare for the curriculum, but like Rebecca, many students use these techniques to help conquer goals outside of the classroom as well. “Self-awareness and confidence are a big part of mindfulness, which is important at this age of development and helps them achieve their goals,” said Head of Middle School Greg Graber. “Mindfulness also helps build their resilience. Instead of internalizing their setbacks, they learn to reflect and make adjustments to succeed.” Sophia Page ’27 began using the mindfulness techniques before her soccer games because it helped ease her mind to focus better on her performance. “I’m the goalie, and sometimes it can be stressful knowing that the whole team is counting on me,” said Sophie. “Doing a mindful moment before a game helps me relax and feel good about my soccer skills. Even when the
10
other team scores on me, it doesn’t stop me from trying and I just keep focusing.” The mindfulness program started on a voluntary basis eight years ago, but after much success, the techniques were implemented into the Middle School’s daily routine. Along with Lausanne’s positive outcome with the program, various studies have suggested that mindfulness is beneficial to students. Two new studies from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggest that mindfulness can enhance academic performance and mental health in middle schoolers. Researchers found that practicing mindfulness correlates with better academic performance and less stress. “By definition, mindfulness is the ability to focus attention on the present moment, as opposed to being distracted by external things or internal thoughts. If you’re focused on the teacher in front of you, or the homework in front of you, that should be good for learning,” says John Gabrieli, the Grover M. Hermann Professor in

“ Mindfulness also helps build their resilience. Instead of internalizing their setbacks, they learn to reflect and make adjustments to succeed.” Health Sciences and Technology, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences, and a member of MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research. The MIT researchers also found that mindfulness training has the ability to alter brain activity in students. Sixth-graders who received the training not only reported feeling less stressed, but their brain scans revealed reduced activation of the brain region that processes fear and other emotions when they viewed images of fearful faces.
In addition to the mindful moment, the head of Middle School teaches an optional six-week mindfulness course twice a year for students, and trainers come to campus regularly to lead our teachers through mindfulness sessions to help them better deal with stress and fatigue. When Logic Cox ’27 began his fifth-grade year, he was not sure how helpful the mindfulness techniques would be, but he credits his success with the program to his teachers for always encouraging him and providing different practicing tips. “I wasn’t sure that I was going to do it the right way, but my teachers always remind me that there are many ways to practice and everybody’s mindful moment is different,” said Logic. “Now I love to practice my techniques and to lead mindful moments, and it helped give me the courage to try out for the basketball team this year.”

“The mindfulness program has been a game-changer for our students and teachers,” said Middle School Learning Specialist Julie Cooper. “We are teaching them specific tools on how to help regulate their emotions and to increase the time between stimulus and
response which allows them to make better decisions. The results have been incredible.”

Lynx Travel The Lynx Travel Program provides different opportunities for our students to explore and learn beyond state lines and international borders. Open primarily to seventh through 12th graders, Lausanne’s traveling program fosters global involvement while encouraging students to discover their talents and interests. To facilitate this mission, the Lynx Travel coordinator works with teachers to design and promote domestic and international study tours that take place during summer, fall and spring breaks. Trip offerings vary annually but range from curriculum-based study tours to service-oriented community projects to culture and language immersion stays.
DISCOVERING THE RIGHT PATH THROUGH DIFFERENT DESTINATIONS Yagmur Onder ’20 watched as the rest of her Lausanne classmates piled into the van outside St. Elena Primary School, but she could not bring herself to join them just yet. “I’ll miss you Jinei,” Yagmur said as she kneeled next to a girl from the school and tried to hold back her tears. It was time to head back to the hotel, and the Lausanne senior could see Ms. Hammons walking their way, so she pulled Jinei in for one final hug knowing it would be their last. Yagmur and 11 other Lausanne students had just spent the week in San Ignacio, Belize, working with a wildlife and referral clinic on graphic design for a media campaign and leading educational camps at the primary school and it was their final day before heading back to Memphis. “I got really attached to Jinei,” said Yagmur. “She would always come back to my room at St. Elena just to talk and share stories with me about her life. Jinei attached herself to my side the entire last day. I did not think I was going to cry until I saw Ms. Hammons walking toward us. When I realized this was it, I got very emotional. I think about Jinei and the other youth we spent time with all the time, and I would love to go back and visit.” Through the Lynx Travel program, students had the opportunity to go to Belize for part of their Creativity, Activity and Service (CAS) project all juniors and seniors complete as a graduation requirement. Lausanne’s travel program

offers domestic and international study tours during fall, winter and summer breaks that promote global involvement and encourage students to explore the world. “These trips challenge students to step outside of their comfort zone and give them the confidence to seek what the world has to offer,” said Director of Lausanne 360 and Lynx Travel Coordinator Rachel Hammons. “The hesitation and discomfort that comes with the unknown changes once they realize that it took courage to travel to an unfamiliar place and to try something new. But they did it! Overall, they become more openminded about new experiences, and they end up discovering things about themselves as well.”
The connections she made during the trip made leaving hit harder than Yagmur expected, but it also helped confirm that her future career path will involve servicing others on a global scale. “I always knew I wanted to help others for a living,” Yagmur said. “Everyone has their own path, and I could never picture myself doing a job that was not positively influential for others. Wanting to work globally comes from the understanding that my community in not centered only in the United States. There is an entire world out there that I want to live and work in, a world I want to experience.”

When Yagmur learned about the international trip, she immediately knew she wanted to choose it for her CAS project, a decision influenced by her upbringing. The senior’s experience growing up in a Turkish household and spending many cherished summers with her family in Turkey made her feel drawn to the idea of being exposed to a different country and its culture.

Brecken Brown ’21 has been fascinated with exploring the different forms of visual art found throughout the world ever since her first experience traveling abroad. She was an eighth-grader at the time, and her family had signed up for the trip to Australia and New Zealand Lausanne was offering through the LynxTravel program. She was nervous about going because she had never been out of the United States, but that quickly changed when she walked through the doors of a design studio in New Zealand. The Lausanne travel group was visiting the WETA Workshop, which is the organization responsible for designing the prosthetics, armor and props for the “Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings” movies. “It was so interesting to see the amount of detail they put into their work and how seamless the overall pieces looked,” said Brecken. “After realizing how much fun it is to travel, I was hooked. I had to travel more with Lausanne.”
14
Since visiting Australia, Brecken has been to China and Japan with the LynxTravel program, making her love for art grow and empowering her to create art pieces of her own. Brecken’s international encounters have helped shape her future and have allowed her to explore other cultures and unfamiliar places, but these trips also led her to discover one of her talents. After being inspired to capture her unique experiences, Brecken developed a love for photography and began documenting her travels. “Traveling made me realize how much I love capturing the world around me through a camera lens,” said Brecken. “I like taking photos from extreme or obscure angles that give an interesting perspective.” Featured on the next page are some of Brecken’s photographs from her most recent trip with LynxTravel, in which she traveled to Japan for ten days with a group of classmates and teachers.

Melissa Goodwin Shepherd ’98 takes Madeline Smith ’19 through the process of stop-motion animation.
ALUMNA EMPOWERED TO FOLLOW HER ANIMATED DREAMS We entered the front of a nondescript warehouse in Burbank, California and stood there blinking as our eyes adjusted. A friendly receptionist sat on the other side of the desk, smiling as she asked who we were there to meet. “Melissa Shepherd,” I explained, and she directed us to the sign-in keypads with a smile. My daughter, Madeline Smith ’19, was trying to figure out which college to attend in her quest to become an animator. We traveled to California to tour one last university before she decided on where her academic journey would lead next. When Charlotte Albertson, Lausanne’s Director of Alumni Affairs, heard of the reason for the trip, she suggested a side-trip to go visit Lausanne alumna Melissa Goodwin Shepherd ‘98.

Lausanne is pleased to announce Melissa Goodwin Shepherd ‘98 as the Chair of Ideas 2020. Melissa will be welcomed to campus March 2, 2020, to address our Upper School during a special convocation to share insights and advice with our students and the Lausanne community. Lausanne’s senior class will also host Melissa for a special luncheon in the recipient’s honor. One of the school’s most prestigious honors, the Chair of Ideas has been awarded 21 times since 1994 to Lausanne alumni and other distinguished individuals, continuing a tradition that began with the school’s Distinguished Speaker’s Series in the 1960s during which individuals such as Margaret Mead, William F. Buckley, B.F. Skinner and Aldous Huxley spoke to our students. Melissa’s name will be added to an antique school-masters chair, which remains empty until another speaker has been selected, and the designee’s picture is displayed with other Chair of Ideas honorees in the school’s main lobby.

“Her work is incredible, and she could probably give her some insight on how to get her foot in the door in that industry,” Charlotte explained. Three weeks later, Melissa greeted us with open arms, and took us into the studio, guiding us through the pathways and drapes that housed worlds of different sets. “These are friends of mine from Memphis,” she explained to the artists we met along the way. Melissa is also from Memphis, where she grew up loving cartoons. By age nine, she had decided she wanted to make them when she grew up. Not only building the animations but also writing the scripts, composing the scores and doing the character voices, as well. Melissa’s talent and love of the arts grew throughout her adolescence, but her family had trouble finding a school environment that supported her abilities and goals. “I was looking for a place that was more open to arts and a place that nurtured individuality,” Melissa recalls. Her sister Ginnifer Goodwin ‘96 had attended Lausanne, and their mother had seen how the school’s faculty had supported her artistic nature. Melissa came to Lausanne her senior year and dove into her craft. “I was already comfortable with the Lausanne family, so it wasn’t a scary change for me to go to a new school for my senior year. I met Allison Gillis Brownlow ’99 there, and she’s still
my best friend. We’re in touch every day, even though we’re on completely opposite ends of the country.”
Melissa credits her time at Lausanne with giving her the confidence to pursue a career in the arts. “I loved animation and dreamed of pursuing it as a career, but didn’t think making a living as an artist was at all practical,” she remembered. “Karla Richardson, my art teacher, took notice of my interests and went out of her way to make sure I was considering all of my options for college, including art schools.” Empowered by her teacher’s belief in her talent, she decided to attend Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), majoring in 2D animation with a minor in sound design. There she discovered stop-motion animation: an approach of building physical objects and taking pictures of them one frame at a time to capture subtle movement. “I fell in love with stop-motion when I joined the extracurricular club at SCAD, but at the time, there was only one official stop-motion class,” Melissa explained. “So naturally, I took it three times.” Melissa moved to Los Angeles and interned for a small studio specializing in the craft, building
ALUMNI FEATURE
relationships with others in the industry. Now, 15 years later, she’s worked for a variety of studios including Fox, Nickelodeon, Google, Netflix, Amazon and Cartoon Network. Lately, she’s been working for Disney directing several shorts.
“My experience at Lausanne was excellent, and I consider it a big part of my journey,” she shared. “It’s great to see how far Lausanne has come since I was there. I’m grateful for my time at Lausanne, and I credit it for where I am today.”
“I love the creative process, and the magic of storytelling and animation that Disney brings to each one has been really inspiring,” she shared.
As our visit came to an end, Melissa hugged Madeline as we said our goodbyes in the studio lobby.
This fall, she lent her talents to directing and animating a short video about Lausanne. It was a project that Melissa loved creating. She came up with the overall concept for the video showing what makes Lausanne such a special place.
“Animation is a small world, and we all stick together,” she said. We got in the car and left Burbank, driving back around the interstate to our hotel. Madeline was ecstatic and gushed about all that we had learned from the tour and our time with her fellow alumna. Among all the amazing art, equipment and people we met, one thing Melissa said at the beginning of our tour stood out above others to the young graduate.
“After we planned out the whole shoot, I couldn’t wait to get started,” she remembered. “I love animating real objects, especially people’s hands, so I used several hand models to help showcase the diversity that Lausanne has on campus.”
The experience of creating art for her alma mater was especially meaningful to Melissa.
“She said we were her friends,” she beamed. #thelausanneway #AlwaysALynx

Another favorite moment of Melissa’s in the video is a portion that shows a seed being planted, then growing into a flower. “I’ve gotten to do it a few times: it’s a fun challenge. The trick is that you have to animate it in reverse.” She also incorporated objects that belong to different family members, like her son’s toy bus and her grandfather’s calculator.

As I write this, countless students are rushing past my office on their way to class, dressed in their best decades costumes in celebration of another exciting Homecoming Spirit Week. It’s a tradition here on campus that many of you are likely to remember well. As your Director of Alumni Affairs, I am mindful of the memories which connect you to Lausanne as well as the distance most of you live from campus. I am also aware of your extraordinary loyalty, thoughtfulness and interests. That being said, I want to take some time in the midst of the fun and nostalgia of Homecoming week to share with you my sense of where we are and where we are going. This past weekend, we welcomed more than 200 alumni back to campus for Alumni Weekend 2019. This was a record-setting year of attendance, and we are so excited to have had our alumni back home. We were also pleased to host the Alumni Board for their annual retreat. Our Board spent the day hearing from Headmaster McCathie, current students and fellow alumni and developing a new strategic plan to carry our alumni network into its next chapter. We are excited to soon be able to offer more opportunities to engage with students on campus, further our regional networks, expand our online networking platform, grow our alumni volunteer network and so much more. As we move further into another exciting year, remember that your connection to Lausanne does not end at graduation; it continues to grow and thrive. Please schedule a tour, drop a line or send us an email. We always look forward to hearing from you! #AlwaysALynx Best,

IN MEMORIAM:
The Lausanne community recently lost one of our own. Dr. Barry Gilmore died on August 15, 2019 after a hard-fought battle with liver failure and metastatic cancer. He was 50 years old. Dr. Gilmore dedicated his life to education, following in the footsteps of his mother, Sue, whom he always credited as his personal and professional role model. He went above and beyond for his students, teaching English, International Studies, Creative Writing and AP Comparative Politics, and serving as English Department Chair from 1999 to 2010. His classes were always more than a lecture and often involved music — another of his passions. He would sit atop a backwards facing desk, with feet in the chair, tapping on the plastic seat bottom as he strummed his guitar to whichever song he’d written to exhibit the lesson for that day.
Nearly everyone can reflect on their school days and pinpoint one teacher, or if they’re lucky, a handful of teachers who made a life-long impression. For many of us, that teacher was Mr. Gilmore. Back then he didn’t yet have the “Doctor” distinction he would later earn from Vanderbilt University. The impact he had during my formative years is fairly obvious. I’d always been drawn to reading and writing, and during my sophomore year, I took his creative writing class. I don’t know if I realized it at the time, but that class set a trajectory in motion for the rest of my life. The following year, creative writing wasn’t being offered, but Mr. Gilmore saw something in me, and it was enough for him to go to the Head of Upper School to request to teach me creative writing as an independent study. I found my passion in storytelling because he saw something in me before I knew it was there. I still have a copy of his first book, signed with the inscription, “I know someday I will be getting an autographed copy of your book”. We continued those classes until I graduated and went off to study journalism in college. After graduation, I went on to become a professional journalist. I wrote and shared powerful, true stories on national platforms. I was the storyteller he would later tell me that he was certain, even though I was just 16, I would later become. Throughout adulthood, we kept in touch. Mr. Gilmore became just Barry to me, ever still my mentor but also now, my friend. He was still someone I looked to for advice and feedback. He never turned down an opportunity to help me. Even just a month before he died, during a visit he told he asked me to send him a few pages to read. I can say with absolute certainty that a great deal of credit for my career goes to him for the skills he taught me, the kindness he showed me and the confidence he helped me build. After the news of his passing made the rounds, I heard from so many former classmates and friends. The remarkable thing about Barry is that we all had similar stories. We’ve all gone on to pursue dreams in totally different fields, but so many of us can look back and say, “Mr. Gilmore really showed me that I could do this.” That was his incredible gift as a teacher. He saw the potential in every child, and he knew how to foster it. Losing him is a tremendous blow to so many of us, but as my mother reminded me, his legacy lives on within us all, and we intend to make him proud. We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to Barry’s wife, Tracey Marks Fink-Gilmore; his daughters Kathryn Elisabeth (Katy) Gilmore, Zoe Irene Gilmore and Phoebe Marissa Fink-Gilmore; his mother Sue Chaney Gilmore; his siblings Marc Bradley Gilmore and Chaney Gilmore Cruze as well as his entire extended family. —Written by Rebecca Angel Baer, Class of 2001
LAUSANNE FALL 2019
After leaving Lausanne, Dr. Gilmore went on to Hutchison School, first as a teacher and later as an administrator. He served as Middle School Head and then as Assistant Head of School for Teaching and Learning. He was also extremely passionate about his work with the University of Memphis’ Tennessee Governor’s School for International Studies where he spent five weeks of every summer for more than two decades. Dr. Gilmore was an author and wrote seven books on various topics pertaining to teaching and public speaking. Beyond just his students, other teachers benefited from his wisdom, as
he frequently presented at conferences. Although he was no longer working at Lausanne at the time of his death, his loss is one felt deeply by many within the Lausanne family.

It is completely normal to be heavily involved in sports or other activities while also being deeply focused on your academic success.” — Madeline Culbreth ‘19

Fueling Our Vision for the Future Dear Friends of Lausanne,
The preceding pages of the Annual Report are a testament to the donors and volunteers who give their time, talent and treasure to ensure that our students receive the tools they need to meet the challenges of our changing world. Our beautifully diverse community is reflected in the partnership between our faculty, staff, parents, alumni, grandparents and friends that is the critical factor in our success. Through the generosity of our donors, the Lausanne Fund has become essential in sustaining the quality of the programs we offer and assuring the future success of our students. Lausanne is stronger because of your support each and every year. Your ongoing support shapes each Lausanne student — as scholars, athletes, performers, musicians, debaters, volunteers, entrepreneurs and more — both today and in the future. You fuel Lausanne’s future and allow our school to strive for excellence. For that, we are deeply grateful.
Cheers!
Stuart McCathie, Headmaster

There is no limit to how our students — our confident, accomplished and unbounded thinkers — can lead a changing world. When our community joins together in support, their gifts to the Lausanne Fund become an investment in the vision and success of every student. Lausanne’s innovative academic programs and exceptional extracurricular activities are made possible in part by the Lausanne Fund, which provides 3% of next year’s operating budget and supports all areas of the school. We are truly grateful for your commitment to Lausanne and for the inspiration you provide our faculty and students each day with your support. Last year, more than 1,000 parents, faculty, alumni, grandparents and friends expressed their confidence in Lausanne’s vision through their gifts to the Lausanne Fund. We ask you to join them and make an impact on tomorrow — today. Make your gift today at lausanneschool.com/giveonline or by calling the Office of Annual Giving at 901-474-1029.
