A LETTER FROM
Suzanne Fogarty
HEAD OF SCHOOL
Dear friends, At the conclusion of this school year, I will have had the honor of serving as the Head of Lincoln School for six inspiring years. I have learned so much as a part of this special community, and from being at the helm of a school that is a leader in all-girls education on a national scale. As I reflect on my tenure here, and on all that the school has accomplished, it is also bittersweet, as this will be my last year at Lincoln. Beginning in July 2020, I will serve as Head of The Chapin School, an independent K-12 school for girls in New York City. And as a school where our foundation has helped to dismantle the glass ceiling, it is critical to reflect on what has come before—a past filled with firsts. The theme of this issue of The Lincoln Magazine revolves around celebrating Lincoln’s 135 years of intellectually curious students, talented faculty and staff, caring and invested parents, and inspirational and loyal alumnae. That history brings with it a powerful momentum, one that only continues to grow. Our mission statement, which was revised in July 2018—Lincoln School’s dynamic academic program, rooted in Quaker principles, educates girls to fearlessly embrace the opportunities and responsibilities of full citizenship in a complex world—speaks to so many of our community’s strengths. From our littlest learners, who are building the basics of a lifelong love of learning, to Lower Schoolers who cultivate curiosity, Middle Schoolers who question and create, and Upper Schoolers who challenge the status quo while challenging their minds, Lincoln is a truly special place designed to bring out the best in our students. In the past years, Lincoln has tapped into the beauty and power of partnerships. One of our newer programs, a summer intensive Geographic Information Systems Course at The Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, is going strong in its second year, while the Brown University Introduction to Engineering Program is in its sixth, as is our partnership with the Rhode Island School of Design’s School of Architecture. Our Lower School program with Save the Bay is in its fifth year, and continues to bring young learners out into the waters of Narragansett Bay for hands-on exploration of the world around them. Innovation Nation, a partnership with Bryant University in its fourth year, challenges Middle Schoolers to embrace design thinking in order to fail early and succeed sooner, and we’re celebrating the seventh year of the Providence Steel Yard partnership, where creative sparks fly. And that’s naming just a few. Lincoln students have learned from some of the boldest minds, like authors Siddhartha Mukherjee and Dina Nayeri, author and activist Noorjahan Akbar, and the Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America at Brown University, Tricia Rose. Upper Schoolers have acted as international ambassadors and global citizens through our Global Programs in both India, for six years, and Cuba, for the past three. We’ve broken down academic barriers by moving beyond Advanced Placement, allowing our students access to innovative interdisciplinary classes, research opportunities, electives, and independent studies. That learning comes to life in our renovated Science Wing and the award-winning STEAM Hub for Girls where tradition meets innovation, and inspiration to move women’s voices ahead in those fields is found. We have just broken ground on the Little School expansion of Building Beginnings, a $5M campaign highlighting both learning through discovery and connection through community. In these pages you will find a wealth of information, not just about where we have been, but also where we are going. I very much look forward to seeing how this remarkable Lincoln community will continue to evolve and strengthen this year and long into the future.
Looking Forward,

OPEN BOOKS Lincoln faculty and staff believe in the power of a good read! For this issue, we asked five beloved and longtime members of the community to share the page-turners that they recommend.

by Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic This true story about the worst disaster in U.S. Navy history also reveals so much about the worst–and the best–in human nature. I was especially moved by the chapters that show how a determined high school student worked tirelessly to clear the name of an honorable officer who was scapegoated by the military.

100 Essays I Don’t Have Time To Write by Sarah Ruhl

The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri
This book has been one of my favorite summer reads. It is a beautifully written novel that led me to a deeper understanding of what the people of Syria have lived through and how drastically the standard of living has regressed since the start of the war in 2011. The characters, Nuri and Afra, take strength and courage to a new level and demonstrate the endless perseverance a parent has when they know they need to make changes for their family. This book truly pulled me into the realities that so many people face because of this devastation, leaving me even more grateful that I belong to a community that has organized fundraisers, gathered supplies, and promoted local businesses started by Syrians in an attempt to escape and rebuild their lives. The content of the book is heavy, but the inspiration it leaves you with makes it a must-read!

TOWNIE
by Andre Dubus III
The Shadow Land by Elizabeth Kostova
Grieving the loss of her brother, a young American woman travels to Eastern Europe and gets tangled up in another family’s personal and political struggles. The novel’s chronology is a marvel: entire lifetimes and histories get compressed into the events of just a few days. I also loved its focus on music, memory, and the power of stories. 6
THE LINCOLN MAGAZINE
Two years ago, when I learned I would be teaching Memoir Writing, I sought out interesting examples of the genre to use as mentor texts and simply to enjoy. I love theatre, so playwright Sarah Ruhl’s 100 Essays I Don’t Have Time to Write was an obvious choice, and I very much enjoy re-reading its little gems. That spring the Athenaeum held a reading with Ann Hood, Dani Shapiro, and Andre Dubus III, so I went with a writer friend, and I was inspired to devour Dubus’s Townie, a harrowing story of growing up in Lowell, Massachusetts (I like harrowing stories; I don’t need to read happy stories– what can I learn from those?). I have Ann Hood and Dani Shapiro on the top of my pile of memoirs to read.
This book is well-written, informative, and heartbreaking. It shines a light on the racial and socioeconomic biases prevalent in our social justice system. It inspires you to want to know more and to do more. I’m struggling with the sheer magnitude of the cover-up that took place in Flint and is ongoing in other cities in the United States. The number of government offices/individuals and the lengths they took to deny, sway, and discredit the scientific proof of lead in the water and its impact on children and pregnant mothers will make any caring person sick. Still today, five years after public awareness of the Flint water crisis and with undeniable proof and acknowledgement from the government and scientific community, residents of Flint are fighting to obtain clean drinking water for their families. I recommend that everyone reads this book so that they can at the very least be armed with the tools to care for their families.

Underground: A Human History of the Worlds Beneath Our Feet by Will Hunt There is one great reason to read this book–it was written by my son! Aside from that, I was stunned by and fascinated with the various places Will explored during his research, and intrigued by how he tied each of them back to the ways in which we are all connected to the underground. And for those who live in Providence, an abandoned tunnel in our city provided the inspiration for this book!

In the early 1970s, Lincoln School, led by the Board of Trustees and its Chair, Elwood Leonard, decided to remain all girls from N–12 as a tribute to the values on which it had always stood.
On December 4, 2019, the school broke ground on Building Beginnings–a campaign to expand and enhance Lincoln’s Little and Lower Schools.

Little Goes a Long Way L I T T L E S C H O O L C E L E B R AT E S 2 5 Y E A R S O F E D U C AT I O N A N D C A R E Turning a quarter century old is a milestone in any life, but for Lincoln’s Little School, it means commemorating the lives of hundreds of little learners through the years. With countless first steps taken, musical notes sung, and sweet dreams whispered, Little School’s 25th anniversary is a perfect time to celebrate the beauty and promise of beginnings. Little School, originally founded as the Lincoln School Infant-Toddler Center in 1994 to serve children ages six weeks to three years, was born from community demand and in recognition of the need for an exceptional education for Rhode Island’s youth. For Lincoln, which had a bustling co-ed nursery program, the extension to serve the state’s youngest demographic was a natural continuation of the school’s mission. As stated in the 1994 Infant & Toddlers Center Parent Handbook: “Drawing on its Quaker heritage, Lincoln School, as well as the Lincoln School Infants and Toddlers Center, seeks to help each student develop an appreciation for her/his uniqueness, respect for others and oneself, and a sense of responsibility towards the community and beyond. Each child is provided with an opportunity to learn through hands-on experience at her/ his own rate and in relation to the child’s age and developmental level.” Little School began in a building called the Mary Nichols Playhouse, originally purchased by the school in1929 and now known as the Carriage House, and within six months of opening its doors had 26 children enrolled.
In the 25 years since its inception, many beloved Little School traditions and tenets have emerged, some old, some new: the little red house on the playground, which was brought to life each day with water and the curious brushstrokes of young children; Reggio Emilia instruction, introduced in Little School in 2007, with its focus on learning through wonder and exploration; Music Together classes, which teach students (and sometimes their parents!) that everyone has the inherent right to sing and enjoy music. Concurrent with this anniversary and in the spirit of growth, Lincoln School has launched Building Beginnings, a $5M campaign dedicated to learning through discovery and connection through community that will create a 4,700-squarefoot new Little School facility on the main campus. The new building will feature two state-of-the-art classrooms—one for young toddlers 18 months to two years old, and one for older toddlers up to three years old—as well as a Reggio Emilia studio for exploration and hands-on learning, and a dedicated outdoor play area. The addition will create the opportunity to welcome new families to Lincoln, opening up spaces for 24 additional students daily. The project is planned as both LEED-certified and netzero ready, and will produce zero carbon emissions, testaments to Lincoln’s Quaker tenets of environmentalism and stewardship of the earth.
Lincoln’s newest group of alumnae–the Class of 2019–has joined Lincoln Connect and are beginning their next chapter.

ALUMNA PROFILE: KIM SPRAGUE ANDERSON ’80
FOOD SAMARITAN
KIM SPRAGUE ANDERSON ’80 PLANTS SEEDS OF CHANGE
Entrepreneur Kim Sprague Anderson ’80 isn’t afraid to put her money where her mouth is—literally. Her newest venture, downtown Providence’s PLANT CITY, the world’s first plant-based food hall & marketplace, is living proof that the seasoned leader finds success at the intersection of scalable business and passionate beliefs. “There is no doubt that eating more plants is critical to saving the planet,” said Anderson. “If we don’t solve the unsustainable system of animal agriculture, going from 7 to 10 billion people globally, we’re all in big trouble fast. But the good news is that there is an easy, and remarkably tasty, solution.” PLANT CITY, the two-story, 12,000-square-foot retail and restaurant space, opened in June 2019 in a historic building on South Water Street. Boasting three full restaurants, a marketplace, a large outdoor patio, a coffee bar, a café, and a communal event and learning space, the plant-based mecca served more than 100,000 customers in its first ten weeks, and shows no signs of slowing down. Created in concert with chef, author, and wellness entrepreneur Matthew Kenney, PLANT CITY is leading the way for a plant-based revolution. And, as the food hall’s founder, Anderson is at the helm. With a formidable business, leadership, and entrepreneurial background—she was named “Entrepreneur of the Year” by the Small Business Association and “Citizen of the Year” by the Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce—she has long been leveraging her success in the name of environmental sustainability. But the kernel for the PLANT CITY project came from a different source—Anderson’s son, Frohman Anderson III, 20
THE LINCOLN MAGAZINE
who asked his parents for a very unique Christmas gift almost four years ago. “My son came to my husband and me and said, ‘I don’t want any gifts this holiday—I want you to watch these films.’ He tasked us with watching Forks Over Knives and Cowspiracy. Those began to show us the truth of the issue—plant-based diets prevent and even reverse some chronic diseases, conserve water, cut greenhouse gas emissions. The list goes on and on,” said Anderson. “So the next morning, we called our son and said, ‘Ok, we’re plant-based now. What’s next?’” Motivated to make change, the Anderson family founded EverHope Capital, the mission of which is to create “a more sustainable and humane future for the planet, people, and animals” through displacing animals from the supply chain. Anderson also co-founded Powered By Plants RI, a grassroots group dedicated to educating and empowering people who want to learn more about whole food, plant-based nutrition. The interest was overwhelming— thousands joined the online network and gathered in person to discuss research, share recipes, and support each other. “Powered By Plants RI has been a great way to share information, galvanize our community, and see firsthand the benefits of a plant-based diet,” said Anderson. “But I kept hearing one thing over and over—people could do this at home, but it was a real challenge to have a social life and find plant-based meals outside the home.” PLANT CITY’s diverse culinary landscape (they have 281
items on the collective menus) is a real-world solution to that problem, and the results have far exceeded expectations or projections. “We went from 90 to 185 employees in our first few weeks, and had to add two new sections of kitchen on the lower level to keep up with demand. I just rented two additional spaces across the parking lot to expand even further. We have had people flying in from all over the globe to see what the model is,” said Anderson. “The goal is to build dozens of these around the country, with Rhode Island proudly serving as the flagship.” The secret to her success? Lead with mission, and the rest will follow. “I’ve done many things—worked for big brands, been a business owner, launched successful products—but my passion has always been pairing entrepreneurship with
helping people, harnessing the power of scaling up a business to move the needle on an important issue for society. When you’re doing things for the right reason, good things happen,” said Anderson. That ethos is one she has instilled in both of her children. Not only did her son provide the catalyst for PLANT CITY, but her daughter, Ava Anderson, founded her own project at a very young age. “When my daughter was 15, she brought a very big problem to my attention–the chemicals being used in cleaning and personal care products. Together we created Ava Anderson Non Toxic, now branded Pure Haven, which grew into a $60M business in a few years,” said Anderson. “She helped to educate millions of American families on the human and environmental health impacts of harmful chemicals in everyday products. And we watched her grow into an amazing woman in the process.” Issue 2 | 2019

Anderson, who came to Lincoln as a sophomore, credits her time on campus with ensuring her daughter had both strong conviction and social purpose.
“The one resounding thing I left Lincoln with was how important it is to have passion.” “What I saw at Lincoln every day, what I got from being a part of that special community, really informed a lot of how I raised my daughter. Happiness doesn’t come from what you have; it comes from doing something about which you’re deeply passionate. That’s how real change is made.” Anderson believes her children’s generation bears a critical responsibility to find their own passions and use them to craft a better, sustainable future. “Young people often have the very best ideas; that must not be dismissed. Age has nothing to do with success,” said Anderson, who looked back on her own time at Lincoln to offer advice to the next crop of Lincoln girls. “The earth is yours to have, yours to help, yours to change. Always remember: be confident. You can do great things when you set your mind and heart to them. Trust in yourself and there’s no doubt you will go far.”

These three seniors spent the past year immersed in Lincoln’s Visual Arts Major program, a comprehensive deep dive into the arts designed for those with a proven passion for the subject, and a commitment to developing the independent habits of mind and personal vision required of the most sophisticated working artists today. During the first semester, students develop personally relevant and technically refined solutions to thematic prompts, engaging in research for inspiration, high-level critical dialogue, and the iterative creative process. The second semester builds on the first, as each artist develops and pursues an independent body of work. The results, as you can see, speak for themselves.

Lincoln School’s revised mission statement, adopted in the fall of 2018, speaks to the importance of an institution that “educates girls to fearlessly embrace the opportunities and responsibilities of full citizenship in a complex world.” We do this in our classrooms, in our community spaces, in our athletic arenas, and on our stages. And this year, we incorporated an innovative health and wellness initiative into our curriculum to further ensure that our students have the tools to excel in the complex world in which we live. Mindfulness. Meditation. Social media. Standing up to sexual harassment. Self-defense. All of these critical topics were covered on campus this year.
Here’s how:
Lincoln’s Environmental Action Group had a vision, and spent a year turning it into a reality. From April 22 (Earth Day)–April 26, the school observed its inaugural LEAP (Lincoln Environmental Action Program) Week, focusing on environmental education and stewardship, often with a particular emphasis on climate change. The week was student-led and student-centered, and the student leaders of LEAP were inspiring in their desire to create a space for our community to discuss these issues. They collaborated with teachers to incorporate
environmental education into classes in all divisions, they brought in a keynote speaker–Jesus Holguin, Executive Director of Environmental Justice League of Rhode Island— and they championed a variety of community activities. One of these was the Earth Day photo challenge, conducted through Instagram with the goal of showcasing the beauty of the planet that we are trying to protect. The stunning photography and moving captions, some of which are shared here, get to the heart of the passion that propelled our students into action.
This year, 17 members of Lincoln’s faculty and staff embarked on mindfulness training, led by Vanessa Weiner of the Center for Resilience. The Center, which is based in Rhode Island, seeks to “empower people to empower themselves through the practice of mindfulness which fosters success in the classroom, community, and workplace.” In two day-long retreats, the Lincoln cohort learned techniques to help them manage stress, overcome obstacles, cultivate compassion, and thrive through adversity–all of which they can incorporate into their lives and teaching.
Kristie McCann, a Rhode Island attorney whose practice focuses primarily on the institutional response to sexual misconduct, facilitated workshops for Lincoln’s Upper School students and parent community, with an emphasis on what our students can do to stay informed and safe. 24
THE LINCOLN MAGAZINE
Prior to the ERB tests, PE teacher Megan Moreau and Learning Skills Specialist Courtney Dubois invited Lower School students to join them on the playground for early morning moving and mindfulness, to help the students prepare their bodies and minds for taking these standardized academic tests.
In May, Shannon Smith from the Center for Resilience visited Middle School students for mindfulness training, creating space for them to experiment with techniques and to discuss the ways in which a mindfulness practice can benefit their lives.
Self-defense is a mindset, and students in both Middle and Upper Schools learned both the mental and physical skills that comprise it in classes with Andrew Lazouras and Rocky Silva from Rocky Silva
American Karate. This popular and eye-opening program encouraged students to think in terms of options and choices to develop awareness, assertiveness, safety strategies, and physical techniques that can help them successfully prevent, escape, and resist an attack.
Dr. Jill Walsh, a well-known researcher and lecturer at Boston University, visited campus several times this year to explore the complexities of the Digital Space– the arena in which technology rules, and communication takes place through various social media channels. She presented to parents as part of the ongoing Parent Education Series, spoke to faculty and staff, and met with all of our Middle and Upper School students in her three days with us. The topics covered were varied, but they all centered around the same question –one that both students and parents are so eager to discuss–how do we, and particularly girls, effectively navigate the Digital Space? 2019 | Issue 2

AT THE CENTER OF IT ALL: THE CENTER FOR JUSTICE, PEACE, AND GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP As a Quaker school with fundamental values of equity, peace, and community, Lincoln School is committed to both celebrating the multiple worlds that students, faculty, staff, parents, and alumnae live in, as well as helping them to navigate the complexity of those worlds. Two recent initiatives from Lincoln’s Center for Justice, Peace, and Global Citizenship have carved out time and space for identity development and conducting courageous conversations. These initiatives are faculty and staff Center Chats, and student and family Affinity Groups. Center Chats rolled out during the second semester of the 2018/19 school year in order to provide faculty and staff across divisions the opportunity to engage in authentic, honest, and sometimes difficult conversations around power, privilege, and identity. As educators and members of the Lincoln community, participants came together to ask questions, connect with each other, and perhaps most importantly, practice accepting the sometimes unfamiliar state of being vulnerable. With topics like, “Doing the work: What are my feelings and am I afraid of?,” “Understanding Systems of Oppression,” and “Gender 101,” there was much to share, and much to learn.
Affinity Groups, which became available to Middle and Upper Schoolers in October 2018, and later in the year for Lower Schoolers and their parents, are spaces designed specifically to encourage interaction and discourse between students of the same race, identity, or family structure. With a curriculum that’s rooted in interculturalism and designed to promote dialogue, Affinity Groups are key to ensuring that our students’ identities are being fostered as well–and as deeply–as their intellects. Led by faculty and staff who also identify as members of the same groups, these weekly meetings provide an invaluable opportunity for participants to speak honestly and connect authentically, while fostering an inclusive, informed, and just school community. Affinity Groups include: Black/African American; Latinx; APIDA (Asian Pacific Islander Desi American); Multiracial; MENA (Middle East North African); Jewish; First Generation; LGBTQ+; Children of Single Parents; and Children of Divorce. This work is constantly evolving in order to best address student and community needs, and will remain a critical part of Lincoln School far into the future.
Lincoln School’s Statement of Diversity and Inclusion Lincoln School values difference and honors a multiplicity of perspectives that includes, but is not limited to, age, religion, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, gender, physical ability, and family structure. We are committed to the Quaker values of equity, justice, peace, and community. These ideals are driven by an understanding that a socially conscious learner is an empowered one, one who engages in critical self-reflection and honest action. All members of the Lincoln School community—students, alumnae, faculty, staff, administrators, parents, and trustees—will honor, embrace, and empower difference and individuality as sources of strength. 26

THE HONORABLE CHRISTINE SWENT BYRD ’68 REFLECTS ON HER CAREER “When you’re my age, and you look back, you can see that you went from Point A to Point B to Point C, and it’s tempting to see it as a very linear progression,” said the Honorable Christine Swent Byrd ’68, a judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court. “But the truth is, I never planned to be a judge. There were so few female judges when I started on this path that there was no plan to follow—I had to make my own way.” In fact, Byrd’s biggest dream when she was younger was to become a mathematician. After graduating from Lincoln–she was a boarding student during her sophomore, junior, and senior years—she set her sights on a career working with equations, but inequality got in the way. “After two years at Stanford, I walked into my advisor’s office and said, ‘I want to go to grad school to study math,’ and he looked at me plainly and said, ‘No. Girls can’t go to grad school to study math.’ He was quite clear that what I wanted so much simply wasn’t possible,” said Byrd. Disheartened, but not deterred, soon after the discussion with her advisor, Byrd was speaking to her roommate and roommate’s father about her future plans. “Her father was a lawyer, and he put the idea into my head. He said, ‘You’re smart and you like arguing with people, and I can say from personal experience that you’re quite good at it,’” laughed Byrd. “And he was right. After taking the boards and enrolling at the Virginia School of Law, within the first couple of months I knew I had found my career.” For Byrd, the mix of required skills was what made practicing law the right fit. She loved the balance of analytical and structural thinking, alongside verbal and written dexterity. But even with
and jury [unlike criminal cases, there are no juries in family court rooms],” said Byrd. “And yet, at the end of the day, I have to make a final ruling. I feel quite honored by the fact that people let me inside their lives, and that they put their trust in me and the court system to make these critical decisions.”
both sides of her brain engaged, becoming a practicing lawyer was anything but easy. “I had a lot of difficulty getting a job. I remember one interview and the man said to me, ‘You seem like a nice person. Why on earth do you want to go and practice law? Why don’t you just get married and settle down?’ I sized him up and said, ‘I don’t think this interview is going very well,’ and I walked out the door,” said Byrd. “I heard that all the time, but I knew what I was capable of. I just had a hard time finding anyone else who was willing to see that, too.” Eventually, after a big break clerking for well-respected late judge William P. Gray of the U.S. District Court from 1975 to 1976, Byrd embarked on her career in earnest. From 1982 to 1987, she was an assistant U.S. attorney at the U.S. Attorney’s office, Criminal Division, and then worked for Irell & Manella LLP as a litigation partner from 1996 to 2010, when she was appointed to the bench by Governor Schwarzenegger. As a Los Angeles Superior Court judge, Byrd tries cases related to family law. “The days are extraordinarily intense. The caseload is big, the quality of the issues are highly charged, the evidence is often imperfect, and I am both judge
Sitting on that side of the bench may have actually had its roots in one of Byrd’s most enduring memories of her time at Lincoln, when she was on the wrong side of the rules. “The rule was that you could not walk around without shoes in the boarding department, but as young girls, when the house mother wasn’t looking, we loved to put on our socks and slide down the wooden boards of the hallway. I did it once and got the most terrible splinter, for which I had to go to the doctor in a taxi, and I was in unfathomably big trouble,” shared Byrd. “And in the doctor’s office, just as he stuck a tetanus shot in my arm, the lights went out. I thought, ‘I’ve been blinded. This is the punishment I get for breaking the rules.’ But as it turns out, that needle happened to coincide perfectly with the great New England blackout of 1964. But I can still feel that guilt, that suffering. It’s probably why I became a lawyer and a judge—it taught me to be law-abiding, or you never know what the repercussions might be.” When it comes to giving career counsel to Lincoln’s current students, she offers a different set of rules to follow. “My advice for young people who are just starting out: Don’t hesitate to change your plans. By all means, make them, but be prepared to recognize opportunity and embrace it with flexibility,” said Byrd. “Always be open to what’s possible, and have confidence in what you can offer the world.”

WE’RE MAKING IT EASY FOR YOU TO GIVE TO WHAT YOU LOVE.
IN HER OWN WORDS
InMelanie Her Own Words Roberts Reber ’00 I was a “light the rules on fire” type of high school student. Well, some might argue that maybe I still am that way. In any case, when I was at Lincoln, I was angry that the school kept Lowliness in the motto. Lowliness? As in, quiet? Meek? Unimportant? I thought that it should be Leadership. A strong word. A skill that could help light the patriarchy on fire. That is what we needed Lincoln to be teaching and to stand for, leadership. Being busy with sports and high school stuff I didn’t really try hard to make change. (Since of course, tearing down the patriarchy could be something done without much effort.) Anyway, recently a post came across my newsfeed and it had the Lincoln School seal on it. There sat Athena’s helmet. I was sitting at my desk in Athens, GA. The desk of a chemistry professor. My desk. Where every day that I come to work I am tearing down the patriarchy! In the city named after Athena, the Goddess of war!
Ok fine, I am doing chemistry and physics research, teaching undergraduates, and mentoring graduate students. But, as a female, this would not have been possible not that many years ago. In fact, when I started this job three years ago, there was only one other female chemistry professor. I was asked things like “UGA hires female professors?” And “Oh, I didn’t know you were a real professor.” My male spouse was introduced as the “new professor’s wife,” because all the other new professors had wives. I am often reminded that my presence as a minority is a radical act (in a tear-down-the-patriarchy way, of course!). Every grant I get, every paper I publish, is showing that women can do it and we can do it excellently. That women, and people of color and other minorities, deserve to be here, deserve to be chemistry professors. Those short quotes I listed hint at the rough and windy path I had to take, and am still taking, to get here and stay here. That is a story for another day. But I didn’t react to those instances by lighting the institutions on fire (literally or figuratively). I acted humbly and with humility. Taking small, measured steps, not overplaying my hand, and acting with respect. These skills I learned at Lincoln. How to be strong, yet humble. To respect others. Knowing when to speak up, having the courage to speak up, and doing so thoughtfully. Maybe it took me almost 20 years to realize this, but I have navigated my way up through the patriarchy using lowliness. Perhaps this is not much different from leadership after all. I had not given to Lincoln more than once or twice before this year. I did not want to. I did not feel a great connection to my alma mater. I did not want to give to a school that tried to foster “lowliness.” Now I realize that Lincoln gave me my most powerful tools, including the belief that I could succeed. I now wear Athena’s helmet, the Goddess of Wisdom, proudly around my finger. Being a woman is not a barrier to my success, it is an asset, and I belong at a Research 1 institution as much as the men here do.

I now see that Lincoln is moving its curriculum towards the future in exciting, creative, and innovative ways, while still honoring the Quaker tradition. I am proud to be able to support that. I hope it serves this generation of girls and women as much as it has served me. (And let’s keep taking down the patriarchy!). Dr. Melanie Reber ’00 is an assistant professor of chemistry at the University of Georgia. She develops and builds lasers that enable new insights into the quantum mechanics of molecules for applications such as more efficient combustion and improved solar cells. Dr. Reber got her PhD in chemical physics from the University of Colorado, Boulder and JILA, and her BA from Macalester College. She took a gap year before college and worked with the Student Conservation Association’s residential Americorps program in the Adirondack park in NY. At Lincoln, she took part in many sports, including being a member of the 2000 State Champion field hockey team. She has a PhD physicist husband and two boys, ages 1 and 5, with whom she enjoys making art, building forts, and exploring the outdoors. Issue 2 | 2019

IN MEMORIAM Nancy Mae Dehlin Whiting ’58 was born on July 4, 1940 to Bertil and Margaret Dehlin in Newark, New Jersey. She grew up in Rhode Island, and attended Lincoln School before completing her formal education at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. A talented athlete, Nancy played both field hockey and basketball during her time at Lincoln, and she carried her love of sports into her adulthood, taking up bowling. She also cherished time spent in the outdoors, and had a particular love for the beach. As a professional, Nancy spent time as a realtor, and was the office manager for a security company in her later years. Nancy had three children– Bradley, Michael, and Robin–and eight grandchildren–Erik, Kristin, Morgan, Kelsey, Zachary, Brandon, Bryce, and the late Lindsay. Family was very important to her, and those that she leaves behind will miss her dearly while remembering her fondly. Nancy passed away on March 1, 2019, and her life was celebrated in a service in Houston, Texas on March 8.

A LETTER FROM JANE PALESTINE JAMIESON ’71
A LETTER FROM
JANE PALESTINE JAMIESON ’71 Dear Lincoln Community, Thank you to each one of you for your support of Lincoln School during the 2018-2019 school year. Your gifts to Lincoln and dedication to our community provide the foundation for the success of our beloved school. For that, and for so much else, the Board of Trustees thanks you.
2018–2019
REPORT OF GIVING
The following pages of the 2018-2019 Report of Giving illustrate the power of what a motivated group of supporters can do when called to invest in the future of girls. As a home for academic excellence, an incubator for bold minds, and an institution that celebrates difference and embraces challenge in order to create meaningful and lasting change, Lincoln is stronger than it has ever been. As the chair of Lincoln School’s Board of Trustees, it is my pleasure to report that last year, thanks to your contributions:
• Students, faculty, and the greater community enjoyed their first full year in the STEAM Hub for Girls, which received a prestigious 2018 American Institute of Architects Honor Award.
• Several collections of student work were featured in the STEAM Hub Art Gallery, as was the first-ever Young Alumnae Art Show, which featured work from five alumnae artists who graduated within the last 10 years.
• Lincoln received an historic $4.5M gift, $3M of which laid the foundation for Building Beginnings–a campaign dedicated to the growth and enhancement of Little and Lower Schools–which will add a new Little School building to campus in 2020.
• We continued our investment in the critical work of equity, inclusion, and community through programming for students, parents, faculty, and staff.
• The Lincoln Fund helped to support our outstanding athletic program—last year, four student-athletes graduated and signed to compete at Division I schools.
Thank you for your steadfast and generous support of Lincoln School. For generations, we have been on the forefront of all-girls education, and with your continued commitment, we will continue to graduate fearless and powerful young women who make their mark on the world. Looking forward to all we can accomplish together in the future. With great appreciation,
Jane P. Jamieson ’71 Chair, Board of Trustees

A LETTER FROM TIM COGGINS P’16
the
A LETTER FROM
TIM COGGINS P’16
Who was your first Lincoln friend? Kilah Walters Clinton ’95, my sister! What was your most memorable Lincoln field trip? It wasn’t a field trip, but I loved the Middle School shut-ins where we slept over at school. What is your favorite adult journey? Studying abroad
The 2018–2019 school year continued the prosperous trend of the past few years. As always, classroom space is in high demand, as Lincoln’s enrollment has continued to grow school-wide over the last five years. In fact, we saw a record amount of applications for admission to the 2019–2020 school year, a testament to the school’s health and reputation.
What smell reminds you of Lincoln? The smell of the hardwood floors in the gym when they were freshly waxed. What’s your greatest indulgence? Traveling. To me, it is worth every penny to engage the world.
We are proud to have just broken ground on the Building Beginnings campaign, a $5M project that will add a new Little School facility to campus and make room for 24 additional students. Little School has run on a continual waitlist for the past several years, and we are thrilled to make this investment in our youngest students. The project will also add square footage to our existing Lower School, including a renovated front facade and flexible, student-centered community space.
that emphasizes long-term growth while exploiting the portfolio’s extended investment horizon and access to institutional investment strategies.
This year, we have worked closely with our representatives from the Rhode Island Foundation, where Lincoln’s endowment is maintained, and with Prime Buchholz to review investment allocations, assess current and future market conditions, and clearly outline expectations. Our investment objective remains the same: to continue to build an all-weather strategy
I extend my heartfelt thanks to each member of the Finance and Buildings & Grounds Committees, and to Lincoln’s leadership, for being such thoughtful and conscientious caretakers of this beloved school.
To ensure Lincoln’s success in both the short- and longterm, we are continuing to evaluate our five-year budget projections and strategy. We successfully completed our FYE 2018 financial statement audit and our FYE 2018 retirement plan audit with a clean bill of school health.
I’m looking forward to continuing to grow Lincoln’s success in the years to come! Sincerely,
Tim Coggins P’16
Treasurer and Chairman, Finance Committee
THE LINCOLN MAGAZINE
College and/or Graduate School: Boston College ’01 Current Occupation: Consultant Current Residence: New York, NY Green or White Team: Green team! Favorite Lincoln Club and/or Sports: Hard to choose– probably Lambrequins and lacrosse What I’m reading/watching now: I’m reading The Practice insightful questions of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence, and I am watching random shows like Elementary and Marvel with Lincoln alumnae Agents of Shield.
When are you most at peace? At the beach or hanging with my family
As the treasurer and chairman of the Lincoln School Finance Committee, it has been my pleasure to act as a financial steward of our beloved Lincoln since 2015. In my role on the Finance Committee, and in partnership with the Board of Trustees and administrative leadership, we are responsible for strategic investments, monitoring the operations budget, and ensuring that we can provide the best possible opportunities for our students, from our littlest learners to our soon-to-begraduating seniors.

What are you toughest on yourself about? Productivity. I am just as good at working hard as I am at procrastinating! It’s a constant effort to tip the scales in the right direction. What or who are you most loyal to? My family. What is the color of love? I love green!
Jocelyn Walters ’97
What was your favorite Lincoln cafeteria item? Part of the time I was at Lincoln, lunch was like a home-cooked meal that was included in the tuition. All of that was my favorite part.
What fictional character inspires you? Claire Huxatable.
If you could have one do-over, what would it be? Thinking of Lincoln, voice lessons with Mrs. Lynn Varadian and Ms. Kathleen Atteberry. Both of them had such an impact on my life and musical development. I still sing today, but I would do that over again and soak up even more. I’m eternally grateful!
What’s taken you the longest time to accept and love about yourself? Having afro-textured hair growing up and working professionally meant straighteners to be considered acceptable. It was unhealthy physically and psychologically. I am not sure if it took the longest time, but loving my hair the way it grows from my head had a lasting, cascading positive effect.
What was your worst job ever? Interning at a Providence hospital in the geriatric wing while I was a junior at Lincoln. Let’s just say I have great respect for the doctors and nurses who serve in that capacity. What’s been your favorite occuption? International MBA Recruiter traveling the world. How would you like to be remembered? I would like to be remembered as a kind and generous person; one who freely gave time, talents and resources to others. What’s been your most difficult life challenge? Starting my own businesses.
What is your spirit animal? I can’t say I have one, but dolphins are pretty cool.
What do today’s girls need to know for tomorrow? There is enough success to go around. Everyone can locate meaningful, unique ways to contribute to the world -- so genuinely celebrate others! And do not lose your uniqueness based on what other people are doing (whether on the ‘gram, in your circle of friends, men vs women, etc.). What’s your credo? With the previous response in mind, my current credo is from Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago”. I love thinking about myself from this perspective!
