WINTER 2021 • MALVERN MAGAZINE

Dear Friends, What a year it has been locally, nationally, and globally! When I reflect on this past year with COVID-19, social unrest, and politics, I realize we have been turned upside down. Despite these challenging events, I also recognize that our faith, values, and the cooperation of many in the Malvern Community have been our anchor and the cause for gratitude and celebration. Quite unexpectedly, many good things have happened during this unprecedented time. The pandemic challenged every aspect of our life together on campus. Like you, maintaining a sense of normalcy was a goal that seemed beyond our reach. Last spring we transitioned from in-person teaching and learning to a remote learning model; something we were prepared to do in the short term

but never envisioned as a long-term option. However, our students, families, faculty, and staff united to make virtual teaching and learning a sustainable experience for the remainder of the academic year. Graduation for the Class of 2020 went from a modest, minimal ceremony to a robust series of events that happily launched the young friars into the status of Malvern Alumni. After initiating a gradual opening this academic year, we reached our goal of having the students resume classes to 100% capacity by mid-October. I am pleased and proud of our students, faculty, and staff for all they have done to keep the campus open by cooperating with our health and safety protocols. The Caritas Committee, created to shepherd our

community through the pandemic, has done and continues to do a remarkable job updating, monitoring, and implementing the latest protocols for our safety and wellness. We also added highly competent people in key staff positions: Danielle Suber, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Adrienne Niles, Director of Enrollment Management Mike Treston ‘02, Director of Development As Head of School, I see first hand what makes Malvern Prep such a special place for our students, families, and alumni. This year, in spite of the pandemic, politics, and civil unrest, I have witnessed resilience, compassion, and a commitment to our community and to our Augustinian values of Truth, Unity, and Love. It has been a humbling experience to see the faculty and

staff create a culture of care enabling our students to pursue academic excellence and to learn to flourish by coping with challenging situations and achieve goals academically, spiritually, artistically, and athletically. Let our prayers of gratitude for our life together as the Malvern Community be a sign of our unity and the bond of our mutual commitment to excellence in all things. In Augustine,

Rev. Donald F. Reilly, O.S.A., D. Min.

Malvern Theatre Society Presents The Malvern Theatre Society (MTS) produced the Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical Rock of Ages in the spring. The show was certainly “one for the ages” as the cast was only able to perform for one weekend due to the Coronavirus pandemic and government restrictions. Aqua Net, Lycra, and Heavy Metal flow freely at one of the Sunset Strip’s last legendary venues, a place where legendary rocker Stacee Jaxx, played by Aidan White ‘20, takes the stage and groupies line up for their chance at an autograph. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew, portrayed by Tyler Kinka ‘23, longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, performed by Villa Maria student Maura Sweeney). Can Drew, Sherri, and the gang save the strip before it’s turned into another strip mall — and themselves — before it’s too late? Rock of Ages takes you back to the times of big bands with big egos playing big guitar solos and sporting even bigger hair! Every aspect of the MTS program is led by students. Members of the program gain experience in the following areas: acting, singing, dancing, costuming, hair design, makeup, lighting design, sound design, set construction, set decorating, ushering, graphic design, and box office management. It truly takes a village to produce these productions. Congratulations to all the students and faculty members who worked to bring this show to life!

Encouraging, Questioning, Working with Students to Achieve More By: Sarah Ravenfeld

An Employee Spotlight - Jacki Cantor

Arts On Campus

This fall, Jacki Cantor began her 23rd year of teaching art at Malvern Prep. “I’ve taught both Middle and Upper School art classes during my time at Malvern, but the Photography class has always been the one constant from year to year,” she shared. “This year I will be teaching Photography and Graphic Design for the Upper School students, as well as helping out with Middle School art from time to time.” Cantor attended Bloomsburg University for her undergraduate degree, where she was a Studio Art major and received her Bachelor’s Degree in Arts and Sciences, with a concentration in Photography. She then went to Moore College of Art and Design for her teaching certification. Following her graduation from Moore College, Cantor spent two years with the Peace Corps, serving in St. Kitts, which is located in the Caribbean. While there she was an art teacher, working with the students in the local community. “I first heard about the Peace Corps in 11th grade, so it was something I was interested in participating in once I had graduated,” she said. “I have always wanted to travel, but learning about new cultures has always been of interest to me. It seemed like a good fit at the time.”

Malvern Prep Celebrates Class of 2020 at School’s 94th Commencement

Around Campus

The 2019–20 academic year ended with all students finishing the year remotely due to the pandemic. Due to governmental regulations and lockdowns, Malvern was not able to host many of the traditional senior year events leading up to graduation. Rather, the school looked for alternate ways to celebrate the Class of 2020. As a way to celebrate and recognize our seniors, with the help of some of our senior parents and families, we surprised our seniors with Class of 2020 lawn

signs in mid-April. The signs were a way to show our support of the class, especially as they dealt with the Coronavirus pandemic. In addition, a safe celebration was held on campus: Ride the Ring Road. During this event, members of the senior class and their families drove around Ring Road being cheered on by faculty, staff, coaches, and administration. Ride the Ring Road was held on May 21—the original date of graduation. (continued on next page)

WINTER 2021 • MALVERN MAGAZINE

Following Ride the Ring Road, Malvern seniors and their families were invited to watch the Baccalaureate Mass, which was streamed virtually. Baccalaureate Liturgy began with a welcome from John Christopher Kelly III ‘20 and Jasir Hassan Cook ‘20. Cook commented that “brotherhood and unconditional love are the backbone of what Malvern Prep is,” while Kelly recalled that the hardest part of quarantining was not the missed events but “being in class with my brothers, and seeing their faces.” The Mass was presided over by Rev. Donald F. Reilly, O.S.A., D.Min., and concelebrated by Rev. Christopher J. Drennen, O.S.A. ‘73, Prior of the Augustinians at Malvern Prep; Rev. Harry J. Erdlen, O.S.A.; Rev. James R. Flynn, O.S.A.; and Rev. James W. Cassidy, O.S.A. The liturgy featured musical selections throughout by the Liturgical Music Group and Band Ensemble. Mass was concluded with student speaker Liam Christopher Wichser, ‘20. Liam described the Class of 2020 in one word: Strong, noting that most of the class was born during the time of 9/11 and was now graduating high school during a global pandemic. “Although this year was cut short, our experiences in the place we have come to call home have molded us into the men we are today,” said Wichser. He closed by thanking Malvern Prep for “being the best place on earth.” Malvern Prep’s 94th Commencement was held on Thursday, July 30, during two ceremonies that were held on the Wolfington Plaza of the Chapel lawn. The Malvern Community paid tribute to the 121 seniors

Around Campus

of the Class of 2020 for their accomplishments, commitment to service, and the strong bonds of brotherhood that they have formed. The Commencement Speaker was Matthew Taylor, Esq. ‘82 P‘11‘18‘20 T. Taylor spoke about the Class of 2020 and the disruption they had experienced during their senior year. “I’d venture to say and I’m confident to say that no graduating class in recent memory has faced or overcome more adversity than you,” shared Taylor, adding that “your shared perseverance to this adversity will form traits for success and form strong life-long bonds.” Class Speaker Thomas Michael Bevivino ‘20, who will be attending Dartmouth College, spoke about his time at Malvern from Middle School through Upper School and the bonds that were made during activities, athletics, and class time together. “It almost seems ironic that as we finally felt more connected than we ever thought possible, we were struck by a virus that seemed determined to separate us,” he said. “Rather than focusing on regret, let’s celebrate what we accomplished while together.” mp

Malvern Welcomes Ms. Danielle Suber, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion By: Allison Hall

Ms. Danielle Suber joined Malvern Prep in early October as the Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Prior to joining Malvern, Danielle was the Senior Associate Director of Admissions at York College of Pennsylvania where she held positions including Assistant Director of Admissions for Intercultural Recruitment and Multicultural Admissions Counselor. While at York, Danielle worked to increase the diversity of the student body on campus while developing access training and on-campus programs to support success. She served as the York representative for Meet the MAC - a college consortium dedicated to recruiting students of diverse backgrounds and teaching students about post-secondary education opportunities and processes. She was also the advisor for the only historically Black sorority on York’s campus. Danielle shared, “My greatest passion is to interact on a personal level with students of various backgrounds to help them acknowledge their diversity and succeed in their next steps in life. In these challenging times, it is imperative students understand the true definition of diversity, equity, and inclusion.” Danielle holds a Bachelor of Arts from Notre Dame of Maryland University in Communication Arts with minors in Advertising and Public Relations. Danielle is also the President and one of the founding members of Higher Level Educational Consulting, Inc. a non-profit organization that helps mentor students of color in their post-secondary plans. In her spare time, she volunteers at her church, Shiloh Baptist Church in York, PA. She also works with various community and non-profit organizations in the area educating underrepresented students on the importance of post-secondary education as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion educational opportunities.

Q&A

What drew you to Malvern and in particular this role as Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? I stumbled upon Malvern at a diversity recruitment fair and upon doing research, I fell in love with the mission and student-centered learning approach. I could see the school was making serious progress in trying to make the school more diverse, equitable, and inclusive and it made me want to be a part of it. I wanted to use my experience in DEI work and help lead the work the community had already been doing.

Where do you feel Malvern shines in relation to DEI and where is there room for improvement?

Around Campus

Danielle shares her impressions and goals and she begins her journey at Malvern Prep.

I think Malvern has done a fantastic job at laying the groundwork of preparing for a Director of DEI. I often find schools make a knee-jerk reaction to anything regarding DEI and when it’s time to implement and execute, there are barriers and resistance to change. Malvern had begun preparing the community for this change far before I was ever hired in this position. That preparation has made my transition into this role very welcoming and rewarding. Members from every area of our community, from leadership to board members, from alums to peer institutions, from faculty and staff to students, have actively sought me out to share experiences, learn, and offer support. As for improvement, Malvern must continue to work on recruiting and retaining people of diverse backgrounds in all areas of our community. This starts at our board and extends to our student body. We must also make DEI a crucial part of our professional development as a whole. We do an excellent job of supporting our faculty, staff, and students in their professional growth but this needs to extend further into DEI work. Finally, we must take a look at our policies, procedures, strategic plans, and overall curriculum to ensure we are educating our students in all areas equitably and inclusively. This is not an easy task, it takes intensive and continuous evaluation.

What do you hope to accomplish in your role both in the short term and long term? Being the first person in this role ever bears a huge responsibility yet an arena of endless opportunities. In short, my goal is to make Malvern a place that mirrors it’s mission to all members of its community. A place where people yearn to be a part of because we ‘walk the walk and talk the talk.’ A community where DEI work isn’t taboo or untapped, but a way of life that is ever-evolving and transformative. Malvern must be a place where underrepresented groups don’t just survive, they thrive! DEI can and must be quantitative in some ways, but the real magic happens when it’s qualitative. When people FEEL loved, respected, and supported. In the short term, I hope to continue building relationships with various constituents in our Malvern community and invite them to partner with us on this DEI journey. I’d like to change the narrative on how our community views DEI. It’s not just for persons of diverse backgrounds or underrepresented groups; my role is to empower everyone to learn and grow personally and professionally. Last, I would like to continue to be a resource for all members of our community to share their experiences and ideas. In the long term, I plan to partner with key stakeholders on our campus and in the surrounding areas to promote the value of a Malvern education to underrepresented groups and prepare an environment that is welcoming and supportive of their educational goals. I’d like to allow underrepresented groups a voice and presence on campus to share their experiences and ideas openly on campus in an environment that is supportive and nurturing. I also hope to offer our students more opportunities to further engage in DEI education through curriculum, student leadership, service, college exploration, and alumni engagement.

What were your first impressions of Malvern? My first impressions of Malvern were admiration for its ability to produce graduates that exuded excellence and preparation for the next stages of their life. Upon further research, I saw just how Malvern uniquely and intentionally worked to achieve this outcome for its students. No other school was as innovative and student-centered as Malvern. Coupled with its warmth and desire to move to the next level, I felt Malvern was a special place that I wanted to be a part of as we continue to grow and excel. I, as I am sure others noticed its lack of diversity, however, I was encouraged to see and hear of the work that was being done and the desire to move the needle even further. mp

After narrowly punching their ticket to nationals in May, the Malvern Quad comprised of Matthew Davis ‘21, Quinn Hall ‘21, Jason Kennedy ‘20, and Colin Munyan ‘21 were able to rally and also earned a silver medal in the Men’s Youth WeightAdjusted Quad. The crew finished 2.18 seconds ahead of third-place finishers Deerfield Academy. Showing the depth of the event, third through fifth places were separated by only 0.18 seconds.

Employee Spotlight: Erik Miller

HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHER AND STRENGTH & CONDITIONING COACH By: Allison Hall

Q&A 30

What is your role and how long have you been at Malvern? I am the Health and Physical Education Teacher for Middle School, and I am also the Strength & Conditioning Coach for Malvern Prep. I’ve been at Malvern for 17 years. I started in the library, believe it or not, and after four years a Phys. Ed. position opened up. That was really what I wanted to do, and I’ve been doing that ever since.

How did you hold students accountable during the COVID-19 pandemic? I would add a workout on the Strength & Conditioning Facebook page. For the students in my class, their assignment was to do the workout. When we met as a class, we would go over the workout and general warm exercises. I also used a program called TeamBuilder. This was an app the students would put on their phones to follow the workouts. They would record their score in the app. Also, they completed a post-workout questionnaire. I also recommended to them that after each meal they go for a 10-minute walk.

Have you heard from people other than students that have started doing the workouts? I have heard from people, including a good number of alumni that would post their scores and were really engaged. I was surprised really by how many people were doing the workouts.

What is your favorite aspect of your role at Malvern? Just being with the kids and seeing them grow and improve from year to year. One of the unique advantages I have is that I see them come in as 6th graders and I can continue to work with them even after they finish Middle School—it’s really neat to see them grow from 6th grade to 12th grade. More than anything else I want our guys to walk away with knowing the importance of staying fit. mp

The Spring of 2020 brought an interesting adjustment for our spring athletes. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all spring sports seasons were canceled. Our teams continued to work hard and stay connected throughout the pandemic, and we heard from some of our coaches and athletes how it happened.

Friar Sports

During the spring semester as students participated in distance learning, one important element of education, physical education, was not forgotten due to the efforts of Mr. Erik Miller.

Malvern Athletes Adapt and Overcome During a Unique Spring Season

“I’ve been communicating and sharing virtual workouts with the Ice Hockey team using the TeamSnap app. They also utilized the Dryland Workout Series, which helps each athlete self-monitor his progress.” – Bill Keenen, Ice Hockey Coach “The Wrestling team was communicating regularly throughout the spring via Zoom, and they are encouraged to stay in shape with weekly workouts and keeping their minds and bodies healthy by participating in YOD Yoga, virtual yoga sessions.” – Nate Lautar ‘98, Wrestling Coach “I spent time lifting six days a week, which included four main lifts, plyos, and speed training. For football training, we made platoons with the team and participated in competitions and workouts with Coach [Erik] Miller via the HUDL program.” – Cole Deery ‘21 “For the Rowing team, I took the spring training plan and tweaked it slightly to implement on the erg machines. This included reducing the overall frequency of ergs, the number of, and the intensity of the intervals the boys would do. Through a weekly workout plan, we communicated emails and group texts, and all workouts and results were posted and collected via a shared Google Sheet.” – Andrew Madden, Rowing Coach “At the beginning of quarantine, the lacrosse players participated in a burpee challenge where everyone did 100 burpees a day and had to text in our group chat when they were completed.” – Cooper Frankenheimer ‘21 “I communicated with the Track & Field team throughout the spring via weekly emails. This included checking in, but also sharing workouts for the team to complete. Throughout the summer I sent the Cross Country team a training schedule broken down by experience level.” – Mike Koenig, Cross Country, and Track & Field Coach “The Football team met regularly on Zoom to prepare for the fall. They also worked out in platoons to complete various athletic challenges and workouts. In addition to Coach Erik Miller’s strength and conditioning workouts, the Football team competed in the Houston Texans Offensive Line Challenge.” – Dave Gueriera, Football Coach The Water Polo team had check-in meetings via Zoom throughout the spring. Also, they used the Kap7 website for virtual workouts. The Swimming & Diving team worked on their strength and conditioning throughout the spring with GoSwimTV and Swim Outlet’s Instagram page. mp WINTER 2021 • MALVERN MAGAZINE

This August, we welcomed Michael back as Malvern’s new Director of Development. As Michael expressed, “I am extremely excited to return to Malvern Prep. It is a community unlike any other in terms of unity, respect, and appreciation for one another. I am looking forward to engaging with the various members of the Malvern Prep community, helping the students we serve, and advancing the school’s mission.” With a keen understanding of what a successful development operation needs, coupled with his ability to connect donor interest to school needs, Michael has the experience and drive to engage constituents and yield results. He has experienced firsthand how the Malvern Brotherhood prepares men for success. As a young man who was given the opportunity to attend Malvern through financial aid, he is passionate about ensuring that other young men have the life-changing opportunity that is Malvern Prep. Fr. Reilly added, “Michael Treston brings to Malvern what he learned while he was a student - Relationships are the heart of the matter in the Malvern Community. Michael’s passion for all things Malvern is infectious. I am delighted that he will be part of the team, and I look forward to working with him as we continue our pursuit of excellence academically, spiritually, socially, and athletically.” mp

The Malvern Prep Community joins the Stewart family in mourning the sudden passing of Mr. James Stewart, former President and Head of School of Malvern Prep. Malvern’s beloved James H. Stewart, IV (“Stew”) passed away August 15, 2020, with his loving family by his side. Born January 22, 1944, Stew lived a full life as a husband, father, grandfather, teacher, mentor, and coach. In his 48 years of service to Malvern Prep, Mr. Stewart demonstrated a tremendous level of dedication to the students and families of Malvern Prep. He pushed Malvern to focus unquestionably on academic rigor, while offering a balance of spirituality, service, fine arts, athletics, and extracurricular programs. Mr. Stewart also ensured that Malvern remained committed to its Augustinian heritage and its values of Truth, Unity, and Love. As an educator and as an administrator, Mr. Stewart believed building a strong parent-teacher-student relationship is critical in the education of Malvern Prep students. He developed the idea of the “Triangle of Success” to illustrate this philosophy, noting that Malvern’s success and the success of the students would not be possible without well-developed lines of communication between parents, teachers, and students. In addition to teaching Spanish at Malvern, Mr. Stewart held the positions of Dean of Students, Dean of Studies, Assistant Athletic Director, and Athletic Director. Between 1975 and 1990, he served as Assistant Headmaster. In 1990, the Board of Trustees appointed him Headmaster (a title that changed to Head of School in 1997). Mr. Stewart retired as President in June 2012. However, he continued teaching Spanish at Malvern Prep until 2018. On May 30, 2006, Malvern Preparatory School’s Board of Trustees, with the full support of the Augustinian Order’s Province of St. Thomas of Villanova, announced that James H. Stewart, then Head of School, had accepted its nomination to be President of the School.

Mr. Stewart officially assumed the office on July 1, 2006. Mr. Stewart, who had been a Spanish teacher at Malvern since 1970, the Assistant Headmaster since 1975, and the Head of School since 1990, succeeded the late President Rev. David J. Duffy, O.S.A. As President of Malvern Prep, Mr. Stewart oversaw the Business Office, the Admissions Office, the Development office, the Diversity Office, as well as the Head of School, acting, in essence, as the chief executive officer for Malvern Prep, and taking on duties previously assigned to the Chairman of the Board. Mr. Stewart also dedicated his life to helping young men outside of Malvern. Beginning in 1963 he served as the C.Y.O. Football Coach at St. Dorothy’s Grade School in Drexel Hill, PA, for 50 years, and in 2003, he was elected to the C.Y.O. Hall of Fame, as well as the Monsignor Bonner Hall of Fame. For their faithfulness and loyalty to the Augustinians, Mr. Stewart, and his wife, Mary, who passed away in 2004, were affiliated to the Order of St. Augustine on May 3, 2004, at a special ceremony. Affiliation is the highest honor the Order can bestow upon a person outside of the Order, in recognition for outstanding commitment to and support of the mission and ministry of the Order. Jim, the Malvern Community is indebted to you for your years of service, dedication, and friendship. You will be missed. mp
