A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO

Dear Friends,

Community is at the core of all of the work we do at Prep for Prep. It’s the element that underpins the four words featured in our motto, and its importance has never been more evident than it has been during the past year. After operating remotely for more than two years, 2021 2022 provided an opportunity for us to reconnect in person. From the return of Preparatory Component classes at Trinity to the in-person celebrations of Lilac Ball and the Prep and PREP 9 commencements, it’s clear that, as a community, we are stronger when we are together.

This year’s Annual Report highlights the many ways in which we reunited. In addition to our cornerstone academic program and signature annual celebrations, much of our summer programming from Aspects of Leadership and the Institute for Entrepreneurship to the Sotheby’s Art Academy and our newly created Entrepreneurship Camp took place in classrooms and venues across New York City. And, after a long hiatus, our Alumni Affairs team hit the road, hosting real-time reunions in Boston, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C.

In 2021 2022, we witnessed the appointment of the first Prep alum as the head of an independent school. In this edition of the Annual Report, we celebrate José De Jesús becoming Head of School at The Dalton School and additional alumni leaders in education, including Ramón Javier and Xiomara Hall, who were appointed Head of School of George Jackson Academy and Associate Head of School at Chapin, respectively, during the last fiscal year. Their accomplishments have a tremendous impact on the Prep Community—especially our current scholars who can now see themselves in these impactful and influential roles.

Community remains top of mind as we enter year two of our Strategic Plan. We are continuing our efforts to amplify Prep’s unique value proposition, apply a whole-person approach to nurturing our students, and elevate our leadership role to influence diversity, equity, and inclusion in education. This work would not be possible without the generous contributions of our community. Thank you to everyone who has given their time and resources—financial or otherwise—in the past year. This Annual Report is a celebration of what we’ve been able to accomplish together.

With gratitude, Ruth Jurgensen

MEETING THE MOMENT

Welcome back! During the 2021 2022 fiscal year, Prep for Prep began the transition back to in-person operations and programming, while keeping safety as a top priority. Learn how we reconnected with our community and redefined our offerings.

PREPARATORY COMPONENT

Prep for Prep faculty and staff were pleased to welcome Preparatory Component students back to the classroom. Saturday classes were held in-person with safety measures in place such as mandatory masking and bluetooth contact tracing cards. Wednesday afternoons remained remote. The summer session returned fully in-person. Students were able to connect with friends and partake in many of the traditional events alumni know and love, like the Welcome Picnic and the Immersion in Residence program, which was hosted by Hotchkiss this year. We are grateful to Trinity and Collegiate for hosting our students for the summer.

REGIONAL ALUMNI REUNIONS

Our alumni community extends from the east coast to the west coast and around the globe. The Alumni Affairs team organized regional in-person reunions for alumni whose Prep Journey has taken them to Washington D.C., Los Angeles, or Boston. “Prep alumni take different paths in life,” says newly appointed Director of Alumni Affairs Derek Carroll, “but it seems that no matter where they land, they take a little bit of Prep with them.” A special thank you to Claire Brooks (XXIII) for helping facilitate our reunion in LA.

LILAC BALL

The Lilac Ball was held in person at a new location, the New York Marriott Marquis. The Tuesday, June 14 celebration included more than 1,000 alumni, Prep supporters, students, and, for the first time, family members of the graduating class. We celebrated the Class of 2022 and Lilac Ball Honoree Eric Rothfeld, a long-time Board member. Attendees heard from Prep for Prep CEO Ruth Jurgensen, Preparatory Component speaker Benjamin B. (XLIV/Browning), senior speakers Jasmine Kaur (XXXVIII/Poly Prep ’22, Johns Hopkins) and Catherine Uwakwe (P9 XXXI/Exeter ’22, Bowdoin), and our honoree, who was presented with a painting of the 71st Street brownstone by artist and Prep alum Erick Teran (XXIV/Saint David’s ’04, Browning ’09, Pomona ’13). Together, we raised $4.2 million to further Prep for Prep’s mission. Full coverage of the event can be found in the Prep for Prep News section of prepforprep.org. Thank you to all who attended. We look forward to celebrating with you again next year.

PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT

Each summer, the Prep for Prep Professional Advancement team offers more than 200 paid internships to students entering their junior year in high school all the way to seniors in college. As offices began opening their doors to on-site employees again, many internships provided through Prep were hybrid a mix of in-person and remote work.

STUDENT WELLNESS

Prep for Prep’s 2022 2025 Strategic Plan includes a commitment to nurturing the whole student through expanded wellness support for our Preparatory Component students to those pursuing undergraduate studies. In addition to our Preparatory guidance counselors, post-placement counseling staff, and newly appointed Director of Post-Placement Counseling, Roberta Osorio, Prep has a new wellness team led by Director of Mental Wellness Alejandro Luciano (P9 I). In the 2021 2022 academic year, our Undergraduate Affairs team developed the Near-Peer Mentor Program, which connects undergraduate students in their junior or senior year in college with freshman and sophomore students to ease the transition from high school to college. (See article on page 22.)

Professional Advancement programming also included career panels with our employer partners. New this year was a series of professional skills workshops developed by Prep’s Associates Council and Alumni Council members, and a few Prep partners.

We had 271 students attend across five workshop dates. The curriculum focused on three areas: communication, initiative, and time management. Last summer, students and employers shared feedback that identified these topics as areas in which interns often face challenges and could benefit from additional support. These skills are especially important for students whose internships are mainly virtual, as these focus areas can be difficult to navigate in a remote work environment. All students who attended the workshops received a guidebook to reinforce their learning and reference throughout the summer.

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS:

NEW CAMP CENTERS TECH IN ADDRESSING GLOBAL CHALLENGES

How are social, environmental, and economic problems manifested across the world and how can technology be used to address these pressing issues? Some of Prep for Prep’s youngest students rising eighth- and ninth-graders had an opportunity to explore these questions during the inaugural session of Entrepreneurship Camp, a new Leadership Development Opportunities program that debuted in the summer of 2022.

The camp is the brainchild of Prep for Prep’s CEO Ruth Jurgensen. “We had the opportunity to offer entrepreneurship development, which I believe is a path forward in efforts to close the racial wealth gap. We have seen many companies and organizations supporting older students in this endeavor, but in my experience in education, I know the younger, the better.”

During the five-week program, participants identified entrepreneurial opportunities that could lead to socioeconomic and environmental impact, change, and empowerment. They also learned about the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Students engaged with a curriculum developed by Cambio Labs that allowed them to practice empathy, ideation, opportunity identification, prototyping, and presentation skills.

The camp began with activities and challenges, such as building cantilever structures out of toothpicks and learning how to map an everyday system, in an effort to set the framework for how students should be designing and thinking about their problems. Students had an opportunity to hear from experts in the entrepreneurship space, including Prep Trustee Trevor Price, Founder of Oxeon Partners and Co-Founder of Town Hall Ventures, and several Prep alumni who have started their own businesses. Visits to companies and organizations such as Silver Lake, First Republic, and the RETI Center gave students the opportunity to meet with professionals in the field.

Applying what they learned in their first week, students participated in three week-long design sprints, each one tackling an SDG. The product of each sprint? A prototype or solution with the potential to grow into a real venture that could address some of the world’s most pressing social, economic, and environmental issues. In a travel-themed final presentation, students shared their solutions to challenges in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Mexico, Puerto Rico, China, and Tibet.

“The camp took a more fun and interesting approach to the business world,” reflects Erica G. (XLIII), an eighthgrader at Trinity. “It introduced me to many things I had not previously learned about, such as the Sustainable Development Goals. We also worked on several skills, such as organization, note taking, and research.” Erica noted that, because of her camp experience, she has a more favorable opinion about entrepreneurs and is more likely to become an entrepreneur.

Entrepreneurship Camp evolved from an idea to a full-fledged program through the pre-planning work of many Prep for Prep staff members. Several alumni entrepreneurs inspired and supported the camp’s development. Silver Lake and First Republic Bank provided funding for the program.

SPOTLIGHT ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP CAMP SOLUTIONS

MYANMAR: BARRIER-BREAKING BUNKERS

Created by: Delilah-Marie J. (XLIII), Chizitelu N. (XLIII), and Barack C. D. (XLIII)

PROBLEM: There is significant conflict and violence across Myanmar, including air strikes and artillery bombardments, which have jeopardized the safety of the country’s residents and access to basic necessities.

SOLUTION: Barrier-Breaking Bunkers aims to offer a safe, subterranean shelter and job opportunities by providing rentable bunkers in which residents can sell the basic necessities that their community needs.

PUERTO RICO: HURRICANE LIFE

Created by: Ashley L. R. (XLII), Mathias O. (XLIII), Michael O. (XLIV), and Zoe Z. (XLII)

PROBLEM: Puerto Rico is still recovering from the damage caused by hurricanes that hit the island in 2017, 2020, and 2022.

SOLUTION: Hurricane Life helps residents prepare for future hurricanes by offering three tiers of disaster preparedness and response in the hopes that the more vulnerable populations can benefit from the insurance against disaster.

SRI LANKA: FEMCARE

Created by: Uzochi O. (XLIII), Dara A. (XLIII), and Arjun D. (XLIII)

PROBLEM: Women in Sri Lanka are not prioritized in hospitals and therefore are lacking the immediacy of some of their healthcare needs.

SOLUTION: The FemCare website and app connect Sri Lankan women with qualified medical professionals through organizations like Doctors Without Borders who can provide preliminary screenings and help to connect them with a local doctor to circumvent the social stigma.

CHINA: inDEVELOPMENT

Created by: Rodney J. C. (XLII), Chloe C. (XLIII), and Juwon F. (XLIII)

PROBLEM: People in rural areas of China are not able to afford adequate healthcare and are at a loss for available work as many factories have closed in response to the country’s Covid-19 guidelines.

SOLUTION: inDevelopment buys abandoned factories and hires local residents to produce medical supplies that are sold to the general public in China. In addition, residents are able to receive assistance from foreign medical students via tele-health appointments.

PROBLEM: Nearly three quarters of Mexico’s population is obese; 43.9% live in poverty. For many, good quality and healthy food is too expensive or difficult to access.

SOLUTION: Fresh Future purchases surplus produce from farms and businesses and makes it available to those in need at no cost to the customer. Food is available for pick up at a local venue or customers can pay a small fee to have it delivered.

TIBET: TIBETTREE

Created by: Ella S. (XLII), Anthony J. (XLII), Abhishek C. (XLIII), and Chimdindu N. (XLIII)

PROBLEM: Glaciers in Tibet are in danger due to the elevated carbon emissions created by heavy tourism in the area and the clearing of trees for timber. Scientists estimate that glaciers will be gone by 2035.

SOLUTION: The TibetTree app connects Tibetan farmers with logging companies. As part of this partnership, for every tree that is cut down, one will be replanted. In addition, tourists can register on the app to be connected with local farms willing to host them. During their stay, tourists will plant trees and learn about the environment.

JOSÉ DE JESÚS

(IX/HORACE MANN ’93, WESLEYAN ’97) MA, TUFTS ’07; MA, TEACHERS COLLEGE ’10 HEAD OF SCHOOL, DALTON

EXCELLENCE IN ACADEMIA

MEET OUR ALUMNI LEADERS IN EDUCATION

For nearly 45 years, Prep for Prep has proven that access to a quality education can change the trajectory of one’s life. More than 600 alumni who have benefited from the Prep experience are shaping the next generation of learners through their work at primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, and education-related nonprofit organizations. Meet three Prep alumni José De Jesús (IX), Xiomara Hall (P9 I), and Ramón Javier (XI) who were appointed to senior leadership positions at independent schools during the 2021 2022 fiscal year and learn how Prep has influenced additional alumni leaders in education.

During the first summer of Preparatory Component, students are assigned to one of two subschools. For decades, these cohorts were named after Johnny Gunther, Jr. and Anne Frank, two young people whose lives were too short for their full promise to be shared. In the summer of 2022, these groups were renamed to honor two Prep alumni. José De Jesús (IX) is one of them. (Natalie Swaby Hutchinson (XIV) is the other.)

“I felt like I was literally flying in so many ways and just blown away by that honor” says José, who received the news while training to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming a pilot. “I’m deeply humbled. I want to continue to make the program proud and make those kids proud. That’s a big inspiration for me.”

The naming honor reflects José’s professional accomplishments and impact on the Prep community. An educator for more than 20 years, he became the first Prep alum to be appointed head of an independent school when he joined Lake Forest Academy, a boarding school in the Chicago area, in 2019. This July, when he stepped into the head of school role at The Dalton School, he became the first person of color to hold the position in the institution’s 103 years.

“I feel enormous pride, excitement, and energy,” says José of his Dalton appointment. “There is symbolism to it, not only for Prep, which has had such a long and successful relationship with Dalton, but also for people of color in general and Latinos specifically. I’m open-eyed about the particular challenges that will come with that. My failures and successes will translate more broadly.”

At six years old, José came to New York City from Puerto Rico with his mother, an English teacher pursuing a doctorate at New York University. Despite his mother’s best efforts, José spoke very little English at the time. “It’s a lot more complicated teaching your own children,” acknowledges the father of two. “I can empathize with her frustrations with my language acquisition.”

It wasn’t long before José gained a command of English and began to excel as a student at P.S. 75. His strengths in reading and comprehension drew the attention of his fifth grade teacher, who nominated him for Prep for Prep. In the 14-month Preparatory Component, “my inner nerd got to play without fear,” says José. The program also opened his eyes to the impact of disparities. “It was a powerful lesson early on of what happens when you give people with talent an opportunity.”

As one of eight students from the same contingent to enroll at Horace Mann, José had a supportive network to help him navigate the differences that existed between kids like him and his affluent classmates. He recalls having to take the One Train to campus each day, while many of his peers could afford to take an express bus that got them there in half the time. “We needed the support of each other and of Prep to be able to connect to students who had had the privilege of being in independent school environments since kindergarten. The delta was pretty significant.”

José’s childhood experience creates an opportunity for him to have a special bond with Prep students currently at Dalton. At the opening assembly of the school year, José mentioned that he was a proud member of Prep, a statement that garnered a positive reaction from the Prep students in the audience. “After the talk some of the students came and sat down on the couch in my office and we had a chance to talk and connect. That was really lovely.”

It is this type of interaction with students that made José fall in love with the idea of being a school administrator. In his early days as an educator, he imagined a long career as a history teacher. That changed when he was tapped to be a leave-replacement dean while at Poly Prep. “I had this ratty black couch in my office and my students would come through to talk. I just loved that work. That helped me become even more interested in how I could have an impact on a broader level.”

After more than half a decade at Poly Prep, José spent five years as the Head of Upper School at The Packer Collegiate Institute before moving to the midwest to lead Lake Forest Academy. The advent of the Covid-19 pandemic fostered a strong desire to return to his hometown. José describes joining Dalton as a full-circle moment.

He will spend the first year in his new role grounding himself in the culture and traditions of the school, its educational philosophy, and its diversity work. He is also focused on bringing the school community back together. “We haven’t had a lot of time over the last few years as a community to gather,” he says. “One of the biggest pluses of the Dalton experience is the community the parent community, the faculty community, the staff community, and the student community. It’s a phenomenal collection of humanity that we have here.”

“One of the biggest pluses of the Dalton experience is the community. It’s a phenomenal collection of humanity that we have here.”

XIOMARA HALL (P9 I/LAWRENCEVILLE ’92, HOBART & WM. SMITH ’97) MA, TEACHERS COLLEGE ’09 ASSOCIATE HEAD OF SCHOOL, CHAPIN

In the Senior Leadership class Xiomara Hall (P9 I) teaches at The Chapin School, she stresses to her students the importance of asking for what you need and going after what you want. When the Associate Head of School position at the school opened up earlier this year, Xiomara knew the opportunity was the ideal next step in her career. But as Chapin’s Director of Enrollment Management at the time, she was concerned about the level of vulnerability that would come with being an internal candidate. As she contemplated whether to apply for the position, she reflected on the guidance she had given her students, thinking, “How am I giving that advice if I’m not following it?”

In April 2022, after a rigorous four-step employee search process, Xiomara was appointed Chapin’s next Associate Head of School. “It’s a huge responsibility and it’s a huge honor to be in this position,” says Xiomara. “I am the first person of color to get to this level on the Chapin leadership team in the school’s history.”

Two decades ago, recognizing a desire and making the decision to pursue it opened the door to a full-time career as an educator. As an undergrad at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Xiomara took a few education classes, but didn’t view teaching as a professional goal. In the early 2000s, as a full-time student at New York Law School, working part-time as a pre-K teacher at The Episcopal School in the City of New York was initially just a way to pay the bills.

When terrorists attacked the World Trade Center in 2001, lower Manhattan including New York Law School shut down. Without classes to attend, Xiomara had time to think about what she really wanted professionally. “I fell in love with the intrigue, the curiosity, the openness of four and five year olds,” says Xiomara. “There was nothing in my adult life that I had done that felt as good as being in a classroom. I made the brave decision to ignore external pressures and leave law school to devote myself to the learning process of young children.”

RAMÓN JAVIER

Xiomara spent nine years at The Episcopal School, soaking in the wonder of her young students. In many ways, they reminded her of her younger self. As a student at The Lawrenceville School, she was eager to take in all that the school had to offer. Freshman year she signed up for so many clubs that her housemaster had to put her in a school club time out so that her extracurricular activities didn’t negatively impact her schoolwork.

Xiomara has applied this enthusiasm throughout her career. A love of storytelling led her to take on admissions roles at several independent schools. Each position provided opportunities and mentorship that have helped her develop into a senior leader committed to serving her community. During her time as Director of Financial Aid and Associate Director of Admission at George School, she also served as a dorm parent, which allowed her to offer students the same type of support she received during her time at Lawrenceville. At St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School, she found a mentor in then Head of School Peter Barrett, who saw her potential to become a head of a school one day and supported her growth through professional development and leadership opportunities. These experiences complemented Xiomara’s previous pursuit of an intensive one-year master’s program in educational leadership and administration at the Klingenstein Center at Teachers College, Columbia University.

Now as Associate Head of School at Chapin, Xiomara is focused on bringing the school community together. “After two-and-a-half tumultuous years of the pandemic where we were deliberately siloed, an important aspect of my role this year is looking at the opportunities where K-to-12 ties can be strengthened both in and outside the classroom.”

In her day-to-day work, Xiomara draws on her time in Prep for Prep. “When I reflect back on my Prep experience I learned that I can belong in and add value to spaces that may not have initially been designed for me.” Through her work at Chapin, as a member of the NYSAIS Diversity Committee, and as a DEI workshop presenter, she wants her colleagues and students to have the same feeling.

Throughout her career, Xiomara has launched programs and initiatives to facilitate inclusion and belonging for others. She knows how instrumental this is to the formation of identity for both young people and adults.

“I was able to benefit from a sense of belonging because of the guidance and support of the school leaders in my life when I was a student and an adult,” says Xiomara. “I feel honored to create spaces where others feel the same way.”

Standing in the foyer of George Jackson Academy, Ramón Javier (XI) greets middle schoolers by name as they buzz by between classes. He’s just a few months into his new role as Head of School and he already knows the name of each of the 91 boys. This effort to create a personal connection with his students was inspired by his own student experience. While walking down 91st Street to Preparatory Component at Trinity School one day, Prep for Prep’s founder Gary Simon greeted him by name. “There were 150 of us,” recalls Ramón. “I was so impressed that he knew who I was. That feeling has stuck with me to this day.”

(XI/HACKLEY ’95, WILLIAMS COLLEGE ’99) MED, TEACHERS COLLEGE ’07 HEAD OF SCHOOL, GEORGE JACKSON ACADEMY

Throughout his 20-plus-year career in education, Ramón has worked to create a similar feeling of importance and belonging for his students. As a first generation AfroLatino, attending The Hackley School exposed him to a world quite different from what he was accustomed to in his Washington Heights neighborhood. Having a foundation of value and confidence, instilled by Prep advisors and staff, was critical to his development as a student and as an adolescent.

From Hackley, Ramón enrolled in Williams College, where he majored in political science and planned to pursue a career in law. “My mother’s an immigrant; my grandma’s an immigrant,” says Ramón. “For all that schooling, all of that extra work, for them to be able to say ‘He’s a lawyer,’ that felt like a duty I had to give them.” After graduating from college, Ramón took a job at a law firm and eventually enrolled at Manhattan’s Benjamin Cardozo School of Law. His first day of class was September 4, 2001. Seven days later, he watched the Twin Towers fall. “I knew at that moment I didn’t want to be a lawyer.”

This realization created an opportunity for Ramón to identify his true professional passions psychology and education. He joined the staff of Prep for Prep,

where he had worked as an advisor during college, in the admissions office and then as Gary Simon’s special assistant. It was there that he solidified his interest in supporting students. Says Ramón, “I wanted to be able to help address that loneliness that can happen for kids of color in a predominantly white institution.”

Ramón enrolled part-time in a master’s program in psychological counseling at Teachers College, Columbia University while working at Prep and then at The TEAK Fellowship. He expanded his ability to impact the student experience by serving as Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, first at The Packer Collegiate Institute and then at Trinity.

In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic and racial uprising following the murder of George Floyd presented another opportunity for Ramón to assess his career direction. “I started to think about leadership in different ways,” he says. Seeing Prep alum such as José De Jesus (IX), Head of School at The Dalton School, and Priscilla Morales (XII), Associate Head of School at The Park School, step into senior leadership roles allowed him to see that as a possibility for himself.

In his first year at George Jackson Academy (GJA), Ramón is focused on “learning the culture so that I can go out and tell the story of our school in a meaningful and authentic way.” GJA is unique in the New York City independent school space. The middle school, located in New York City’s East Village, was founded in 2003 in honor of former Motown CEO George Jackson. Grounded in Lasallian principles, it serves academically gifted sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade boys, primarily students of color from low-income backgrounds.

The school’s nurturing environment is akin to what Ramón experienced in Prep for Prep. “We were part of something important and that meant that we had a responsibility and a duty to carry that on, not just for ourselves, but for the folks coming behind us,” he says. “I felt a similar sense from the boys [at GJA] when I met them.”

Ramón’s career trajectory has proven that medicine and law are not the only pathways to success. He has contributed to creating a more inclusive environment for Prep for Prep students, and all students of color, who have followed in his footsteps as independent school students. And he has made his family proud. “When I talk to my mother about my work, and I explain what the responsibility is and what it is that I do, she is really proud of me,” says Ramón, “and she’s happy that I’m happy.”

GLORIA CHAN (XIV) Founder and Head of School The Springwell School

“ Prep for Prep instilled in me the hard work, grit, and drive towards excellence that it takes to successfully found a school. Prep’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is also reflected in Springwell’s ethos, and we have sliding scale tuition to ensure accessibility. Finally, having had exposure to both public and private schooling has also given me a wide range of experiences from which to launch my vision.”

ERIC OSORIO (VIII) Associate Head of School Calhoun

“ Prep gave me a chance; it opened a door. If Prep did that for me, then the least I can do is kick a few doors down for those that are coming behind me. I may not have seen faces that looked like mine in the front of the classroom at my independent school, but I certainly saw them in my unit leaders at Prep. Samona Joe Tait made me believe I could survive my first summer at Prep. Jesse Taylor made me believe I could make it at Horace Mann. If I can make that kind of difference for even one kid during the course of my career, then I will feel worthy of the belief they instilled in me.”

“

LINDA MUNRO (XIV) Principal M.S. 318 Waterside School for Leadership

My formative experiences in Prep for Prep remind me every day that all students regardless of their economic background, race or community deserve and are entitled to an excellent education. Students, including those in public education, should enjoy an immersive, enriching, and thrilling educational experience that supports their individual needs. It’s my job as an administrator to facilitate that experience.”

Alumni share how Prep for Prep has influenced their perspective on education and their work as education leaders.

“

I always understood Prep’s mission to be about equity, justice, and the American Dream at scale. That only works if we’re nurturing ten times or even one hundred times the number of leaders from our community every year. For me, working in education has been about taking the idea that ‘leaders don’t just happen’ to heart, and trying to do my part to support the next generation of leaders.”

“

MARSHA BANNISTER GADSDEN (XIX) Executive Director PAVE Academy Charter School

Prep for Prep played a huge role in my decision to become an educator. My experience in Prep for Prep proved for me what children can do when the expectations are raised and when they are provided with the necessary tools and resources. I endeavor to build schools that raise the bar for black and brown children and give them the tools and the environment that they need and deserve.”

“

PRISCILLA MORALES (XII) Associate Head of School

The Park School of Baltimore

“ Whenever I sit around the decision-making table, my Prep for Prep experience looms large. My compass leads me to consider policy, procedures, initiatives, and ideas that would make 12-year-old me feel a real sense of ownership in and out of the classroom.”

I have directly witnessed the devastating impact of educational inequity and also personally benefited from transformational change driven by educational opportunity. One of my brothers is facing a felony prison sentence and another was killed my freshman year of college. The only difference between us: educational access. Everything I do in education is in pursuit of facilitating and unlocking the potential for all people to realize self-determined lives. I want to prevent other scholars and families from experiencing the loss that I’ve faced with my two brothers.”

BUILDING COMMUNITY

The Prep for Prep Undergraduate Affairs team introduced the Near-Peer Mentor Program in the 2021 2022 academic year at three schools Amherst, Cornell, and Yale. The program pairs undergraduate students (mentees), usually in their freshman or sophomore year, with upperclass students (mentors) to create opportunities for community building.

Thompson Uwanomen (P9 XXVIII) became a mentor his junior year at Yale and mentored Courtney Li (XXXVI) and Adia Guthrie (XXVII). It’s a program he feels would have been beneficial to him in his first year. “There are a lot of things I wish I would have known going into school that I want other students to know beforehand.”

For Thompson, a mentor not only introduces their mentees to academic resources and extra-curriculars, but builds confidence in them as students.

Courtney joined the Near-Peer Mentor Program as a mentee in her sophomore year. With her first year of college heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, she missed many of the introductory opportunities usually in place for first-year students. “It was very difficult to get my footing and feel comfortable in the academic setting, so being able to talk to someone about that who also understood, but had some better insight on how to get past that was really nice.”

“There’s a lot out there that you won’t know about if you try to go through the process alone,” says Adia, who joined the program as a freshman. “College, to me, always seemed like a really daunting experience. I wanted to apply [to the Near-Peer Mentor Program], not only to stay connected with Prep, but to have new connections to this community especially with other people of color.”

The application process for mentors and mentees is simple a questionnaire submitted via Google form. The Undergraduate Affairs team does their best to match mentors with mentees with similar interests and fields of study. Thompson, Adia, and Courtney are all pre-med students, and Courtney and Thompson are both a part of dance groups on campus.

NEW NEAR-PEER MENTOR PROGRAM CONNECTS UNDERGRADUATES ON CAMPUS

Mentors attend virtual sessions with Undergraduate Affairs Officers at the start of the school year to learn communication skills. Mentees set the pace, meeting as often as they need or would like. Having a Prep mentor means that there is someone else who understands the Prep Journey. Though there may be mentorship programs available on some college campuses, the Prep experience is a unique one. “There’s a lot of background of where we come from that doesn’t need explaining,” says Courtney. Adia adds, “I’m heard in a way that some people may not be able to hear me since we didn’t come from the same place.”

The program creates new bonds within the Prep community. At the end of the 2021 fall semester, Thompson connected with two other Yale Near-Peer mentors and their mentees for a pizza party during finals week. “It was like a little Prep family on campus,” says Thompson. “Now I feel like I have a sub-family I can always fall back on.”

“The program is helping people feel supported and more connected to Prep on campus in a genuine way,” says Director of Undergraduate Affairs Leslie Francois (P9 XXI). “Hearing from mentees that they wanted to continue on with their mentors was a real highlight heading into this year, in addition to adding one more school Wesleyan. My hope is that the program can continue to generate interest and momentum as we figure out how to make it sustainable across multiple years.”

NURTURING DIGITAL CITIZENS

The Covid-19 pandemic served as a catalyst for leveraging technology to enhance Prep for Prep’s programming. Each student received a Prep for Prep email address and Zoom became the virtual meeting platform of choice. Computer science also has been incorporated into the Preparatory Component curriculum, an addition long championed by Dale Allsopp (VII), Ads Responsibility Officer at Google.

Nikole Smith, Director of Academic Programs, says the addition was an effort to help students remain competitive with their independent school peers. “During our visits to independent schools, we noticed an increased emphasis on computer science,” says Nikole. “Our students were hesitant to consider those classes because they didn’t have a foundation in the subject.”

“There’s a digital divide,” agrees Willie Dominguez, the Preparatory Component Computer Science Teacher. “Independent school kids are picking this up at three years old. Many public schools don’t introduce the subject until fourth or fifth grade.”

During their second summer in Preparatory Component, many Prep students take PIMAS: TPR (Term Paper Research), a companion course to PIMAS (Problems and Issues in Modern American Society.) Each student researches a societal issue and writes a term paper about it. This paper is brought to life using technology. During the class, students learn how to create their own website, infographics, podcasts, and presentations using programs such as Google Sites and Slides, Pixlr, We Video, Scratch, and Nearpod.

Preparatory Component students also have the option of taking a computer science class, a five-day-a-week course in which they learn coding. Students are given prompts, such as “What do you think society will look like in 10 years?” Using coding, they design a digital response to these questions. Virtual reality allows the students to share their creations with their classmates.

Computer science topics have also been introduced in PREP 9’s science classes. In addition, Prep students have the option of choosing computer science as an after school activity. The knowledge developed through the Preparatory Component computer science curriculum is built upon in programs for older students, including Entrepreneurship Camp (see article on page 13) and the Institute for Entrepreneurship, two optional summer programs that guide students in using technology to create businesses that can address societal issues.

In addition to technical skills, students learn the importance of digital citizenship. “Our identity follows us and our digital footprint never goes away,” says Willie. “Responsible use is really important.”

OPPORTUNITIES

The hundreds of opportunities offered to Prep students each year expand their horizons and ambitions.
