FALL 2020

FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL Suzanne Walker Buck Dear WRA Community, What a fall it has been. As we move closer to the season of Thanksgiving, I share deep gratitude for this community. Whether online or in person, we are now immersed in a school year, and it is an amazing feeling to be together. United in love for WRA, each other, and the value of education, our positivity is palpable. In a time where everything is changing, Reserve is evergreen.

Looking back through old issues of WRA Magazine, I don’t believe we have ever had a photoless cover. And, happily, the inside of this issue is brimming with imagery of our beautiful students and campus. Still, green represents all of us, and it also represents growth, energy and renewal. All of these things are happening in our corner of Hudson.

At times, energy has been hard won as we navigate a challenging world. Fortunately, we hold some vigor in Reserve, and I credit you — our wonderful alumni — for this life force.

Times are changing, and traditions have had to be adapted in some cases (think sit-down meals on the lawn's wide sweep instead of elbow-to-elbow in Ellsworth), but we have a sturdy foundation in place. This is because of the spirit and support you have infused into the school for generations.

And though the present has required fundamental shifts in how we teach and gather due to COVID, and how we relate in a world that has revealed lingering and ugly inequities, we press on and are focused on the future. In fact, over the next months, we’ll be seeking your input on a strategic plan being created with an eye on an amazing upcoming milestone: the Bicentennial of Western Reserve Academy in 2026. Once again, we have the opportunity to fortify and innovate — to be Pioneers.

PIONEER ATHLETICS 2020 FALL SEASON

Go Pioneers!

It seems that nothing dampens the spirit of a Pioneer athlete. This fall, athletic competition is burgeoning on Western Reserve Academy’s athletic fields, courts and courses — with safety and care for the competitors, spectators and coaching staff top of mind. In late September,

Director of Athletics & Afternoon Programs Herb Haller ‘85 shared WRA’s COVID Return-to-Play Protocols, and it wasn’t long before athletic events resumed, reinvented somewhat for these times. Protocols include safety precautions such as the mandate that

every player complete a full health screening prior to competition and that all coaches, trainers, managers, officials, spectators and sidelined athletes remain masked. Happily, even masks cannot muffle the shouts and cheers of our fans!

In other exciting news, Reserve welcomed a fleet of new coaches to the family, including Assistant Director of Annual Giving Dylan Sheridan ‘02 as Varsity Lacrosse Coach, Kathleen Wiler as Varsity Field Hockey Coach, Associate Athletic Director for Strategic Programming Peter Hutchins as Varsity Boys Basketball Coach, and Associate Director of Admission & Coordinator of International Admission Jordan Shriver as Varsity Baseball Coach.

We look forward to the year ahead as our athletes continue to rise to every challenge, adapt with grace and optimism, and fight for their chance to ring that Victory Bell.

EVERGREEN T

he back-to-school season has a perennial effect, with old rituals returning predictably. This is true societally (“Back to school” has become as viable a season for retailers as the holidays.) but also on the ground, in schools themselves. The cadence of coming back, getting oriented, breaking ice, starting sports and settling in has become so systematic that, even in its more stressful moments, it is — for large part — settled.

Then came 2020.

The abrupt end to last year’s in-person schooling was matched in uncertainty about the possibility of reopening school in the fall. Not since the invention of school itself had education been forced to be so innovative. A perusal of the headlines from the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) during the past months reveals an appreciatively optimistic slew of counsel: Flourishing in Difficult Times; An Opportunity to Reimagine Schools; Creating a Pandemic Related Curriculum; Choosing Reinvention Over the Status Quo. But make no mistake, even the world’s strongest schools have flirted with burying their heads in their hands and waving the white flag, wishing these trying times away.

But through the now ubiquitously characterized “unprecedented times” of 2020, there was no white flag in the land of green. WRA has continuously renewed throughout the years, evergreen, showing a resilience that past generations forged and that we have held, aptly, in reserve. In WRA’s piece Western Reserve Academy: 175 Years of Distinction, WRA’s

Archivist & Historian Tom Vince talks about how the move of Western Reserve College to Cleveland — giving rise to Western Reserve Academy as a preparatory high school — is a period of time often called the “hardscrabble years.”

“It was a time when the school’s leaders and its dedicated faculty worked with the student body to create a kind of classical Hellas,” wrote Vince. “Indeed this group of faculty molded the character of the school that, in many ways, survives to this day.”

T

he path to reopening was underpinned by credo that never quit: “never quit.” Head of School Suzanne Walker Buck expected more from the school, and executions on the “more” began to flower. Chef Eddie Mundy and his team executed “Reserve Your Meal,” a community and charitable meal service that donated more than 2,000 delicious meals. Chief Innovation Officer Matt Gerber and a cadre of volunteers produced thousands of pieces of personal protective equipment in the Wang Innovation Center. Buck sat amid 400 cardboard cutouts in the Chapel, wishing the students back and showing solidarity in the face of adversity. Reserve faculty executed a seismic pivot from the classroom to online learning. Masks were sewn, students’ items were shipped home, and while campus grew quiet, it also grew in determination with a focus on collective responsibility to health, safety, joyfully celebrating our seniors and then reopening for 2020-21.

“Life at WRA is different, but oh so good.

Campus is alive, buzzing with the energy of students and a community engaged to support their experience.”

Life on campus since the start of the school year has looked vastly different, as one might expect.

class with my cat asleep on my lap.” The glass half full is refreshing.

“The images are mind-boggling: 400 people physically distanced, Reserve Green dress code complimented by color-coordinated masks; activities like outdoor movies and dormitory cornhole tournaments,” said Buck. But she summarizes it all by saying, “Life at WRA is different, but oh so good. Campus is alive, buzzing with the energy of students and a community engaged to support their experience.”

Back on campus, school is fully full with a larger student body than it has had in decades. Spaces have been reimagined because of the need to physically distance (think Morning Meetings for one class at a time in the Chapel) and to accommodate additional boarders. For example, the Nathan P. Seymour House has been converted to a dorm (while other dorm rooms are being held for soon-to-return Piofars).

From the start of school, WRA’s steadfast appreciation for art and athletics did not waver, though it took careful planning to resume. Athletes are back in competition, adhering to WRA’s COVID Return-to-Play Protocols while playing hard and playing safe. COVID-friendly performances have resurfaced as popup outdoor concerts, a dance performance with a physically distanced audience and filmed monologues of topics on social equality.

All told, WRA welcomed 150 new students this year for a total enrollment exceeding 400. New students hail from 119 different schools, 19 states and 15 countries, including Lithuania, the Ivory Coast, Senegal, China and Australia, as well as Florida, Alabama, Washington and West Virginia.

Academics are at the cornerstone of the experience, and this year three learning options were offered for families: inperson; distance learning until travel to campus was doable; and distance learning for the entirety of the year. The options took shape in the form of “Pioneers” (on campus) and “Piofars” (off campus), and faculty and students have been adapting to scheduling updates and the new normal with a persistence that’s essential during a pandemic.

As reported in The Reserve Record, Sheilla Muligande ’23, a Piofar, said: “There’s just something so great about being in 8

et WRA’s pride in diversity is not simply related to the geographic corners from which its community emanates. WRA also takes deep pride in the diversity of opinion and perspective on campus that dates back to its earliest days. But this hasn’t always been easy. And this year, the challenges of COVID shared their sense of urgency with societal unrest related to issues of inequity, brutality and racism that go against every green grain in our fiber.

The beauty of Reserve is that it’s both a bubble and a melting pot, safe yet spilling over with diverse people and varying ideas. Yet the carryover of society’s contentiousness — combined with a WRA already rich in opinions and

counterpoints — creates discourse, and even sometimes discord, that is hard but not unprecedented.

Vince reflects on this when writing about the 1960s and ’70s at WRA. “For a time it appeared that the issues brought about by political assassinations, the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights movement and other manifestations of social unrest were going to touch off a revolution here at the school,” he wrote.

“The tensions felt in all sectors of American society were reflected in the mood of discontent that marked these years on our campus.”

What’s been notable through this present time is the will of Buck to face discontent head on and buck it with transparency, listening, action and intermittent sprinklings of joy. As in the past, Pioneers have impassioned voices, but different today are the myriad tools for amplifying them. The early part of the year has included petitions, forums, social media campaigns, calls and everyday attention to diversity, equity, inclusion and — in a nutshell — improvement. Buck believes there is a long way to go.

“There is a gap between where we are now and where we need to be,” she said simply.

But just as joy surfaces in a Chef Eddie bubble tea, a fluorescent food truck or a firepit flanked by a guitarstrumming faculty member, so have action steps escalated to facilitate voice and reinforce a central tenet of community: respect for differing opinions.

Inclusion Dr. James Greenwood and Integrated Studies & Design and Modern & Classical Languages department faculty Dr. Ralf Bormann to chair a task force on community discourse. The charge is to provide resources to faculty, staff and students to foster an environment where multiple perspectives are shared with civility, opposing views are listened to with understanding, and every individual feels affirmed and respected. Thus far, the task force has outlined principles that have been shared across the school community, rooted in the WRA values of excellence, integrity and compassion.

I

n these times, there are so many words, so many opinions, so much to consider. So much so that it’s hard to sometimes even remember to be happy. And then you remember that while WRA is so many things, so many opinions, and so much to consider, fundamentally it is a school and a reason for happiness. It’s a place for students to do silly spoof skits during Morning Meeting, plan how they might ask their date to homecoming, stress about an upcoming exam, run downtown for an espresso shot. It’s a place that can introduce ideas but must also encourage the joy that is requisite to youth and central to learning. These things must be evergreen, even in a world that is ever-changing.

As Buck says, “As a community we will remain unified in our appreciation for one another and the spirit of learning.” Even in the most complicated of times, WRA is that simple.

as WRA’s Dean of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion In establishing our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Office, we further commit to anti-racism and tolerance, and take another step toward ensuring every WRA student feels a profound sense of tolerance at Reserve.

f you’re looking to get to know Dr. James Greenwood, his office is a great place to start. There’s a lot to take in, such as his framed degrees, art and civil rights signage. But one of the most eye-catching displays is the beautiful framed poster of the 50th anniversary and global commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, with Dr. King drawn in bright hues and the words “Our World, His Dream: Freedom — Make It Happen” in bold print. On his bookshelf are family photos, a few knickknacks and several texts on race and inclusion (as well as multiple picture books, each appearing to celebrate diversity) on proud and loving display. You’ll also find that he’s clearly a fan of superheroes, with smaller posters, flyers and a themed calendar placed here and there. On his desk, he keeps a small pile of stress-relief balls, many of them rotund caricatures of superheroes, like Spider-Man and Wonder Woman. Even his tissue box (Batman-themed) is friendly.

You can’t help but think that any person walking into the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Office will immediately feel comfortable, if not by the decor, then by the encouraging demeanor of Dr. Greenwood, Western Reserve Academy’s Dean of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

It’s worth noting that the various superhero paraphernalia make for more than cheerful office adornment. They actually can be quite useful in his work.

“Right now, we as a society are enjoying this movement where these figures are sort of household names, thanks in part to the

10

WRA

FALL 2020

Marvel movie franchise,” said Dr. Greenwood. “We’re looking at these issues of morality, good versus evil, all of that is being addressed in these comics. I think about the X-Men series as a parable for social justice movements. I think about how author Grant Morrison argues that superheroes represent modernday mythology and how, similar to those ancient Greek and Roman gods, they can serve us in society. I think about how the story of Superman is incredibly relevant because, in a way, he’s the classic immigrant story of someone who comes in from a different land but is this hallmark of truth, justice and the American way.”

It has only been a few months since Dr. Greenwood joined Interim Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Brandi Wheeler in WRA’s newest office, but he happily reports that he has settled in, bolstered by WRA’s welcoming community and several familiar faces.

“I have really loved it so far,” said Dr. Greenwood. “It has been overwhelmingly friendly and positive. I think certainly one of the things that is evident through [Head of School] Suzanne Buck’s leadership is the importance of joy in daily life here. And I think that is palpable. I have really enjoyed both the friendliness of the kids and the welcome from the faculty. It’s been a breath of fresh air.”

This will be Dr. Greenwood’s 19th year working in independent schools. Most recently he served as the Dean of Equity and Inclusion at St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire. Other

institutions for which he has worked include Shady Hill School (Cambridge, Massachusetts), where he served as Director of Inclusion & Multicultural Practice; Northfield Mount Hermon School (Gill, Massachusetts), where he served as Director of Multicultural Education; and Williston Northampton School (Easthampton, Massachusetts), where he served as Assistant Director of Admission.

Throughout this time, Western Reserve Academy stayed in the periphery of his mind, lighting up like a beacon from time to time. The boarding school world being the tight-knit community that it is, he was bound to meet WRA community members, but his ties to Reserve came in many different forms.

At Kenyon College, he was classmates with Michael Bonomo, now a WRA Science Department faculty member. Later, Dr. Greenwood attended a program at Columbia alongside former WRA History Department faculty member Chris Davies, who years later gave him a tour of WRA’s campus.

During his nine-year tenure at Northfield Mount Hermon, Dr. Greenwood crossed paths with Jeff and Annie Neill, formerly WRA’s Director of College Counseling and Dean of Student Life.

In getting to know Annie, he met her father, Dick Peller, a WRA Mathematics Department faculty member. It was Dick and his wife, Ellen Turner, who first connected Dr. Greenwood with Head of School Suzanne Buck during her first few months at Reserve.

“When I began at Reserve, it was clear to me that we were missing a key person on our executive team,” Buck said. “From

my first days, I talked to members of my team about my hope to recruit James. He’s the best in the business. The events of the year only magnified our imperative for diversity, equity and inclusion. James arrived at a pivotal moment in the world and at the school.”

To Dr. Greenwood, Western Reserve Academy is the meeting point on a Venn diagram of his desire to be close to family (having grown up on the East Side of Cleveland) and his passion for DEI work in the independent school world.

“It was incredibly important to me, particularly during a pandemic, to be close to my family,” he shared. “I know I’m going to work in education for the rest of my life, so to be able to do this work and to be a quick drive to my family in Woodmere is perfect.”

Before Dr. Greenwood’s arrival, Wheeler was working alongside school leadership and the DEI Committee (a previously established group of faculty and administrators) to create and expand DEI initiatives for the school. Buck had personally reached out to Wheeler in June of 2020 to see if she would consider stepping away from teaching in the English Department to take on the role of Interim Director of DEI. Wheeler had always had tremendous passion for social justice.

When growing up, she actively attended protests and was even the head of her high school’s Black Student Union. She was thrilled to take on the position, with the caveat that she would continue to teach African American Nonfiction.

Since being appointed Interim Director, Wheeler has worked with the DEI Committee to create opportunities for dialogue and insight, which culminated in the Town Hall series for alumni members and current parents. Additionally, the DEI Committee organized a virtual Race Space that invited students to meet virtually for discussion, conversation and reflection on racial topics in a time rife with divisive rhetoric and painful atrocities.

The DEI Committee even reimagined the summer reading program, One School, Many Books, in which sophomores, juniors, seniors and postgraduates selected a text from a robust list of titles. Each work was handpicked by committee members to delve into topics related to race, gender, sexuality and more. On the list were works such as Born a Crime by Trevor Noah (chosen by Suzanne Walker Buck), Salt Houses

by Hala Alyan (chosen by Dean of Student Life Wendy Skinner) and Minor Feelings by Cathy Park Hong (chosen by Modern & Classical Languages Department faculty member Judy Chen).

“In the past, I’ve been involved in the committee, but only as a member,” Wheeler explained. “When I was asked to head the committee, it felt like a really great opportunity to broaden the vision of the committee and its scope. When I first joined the DEI Committee, my understanding was that our focus was on the student experience and making sure students were cared for. While that’s a great place to start, I felt there was so much more we could do. With [Associate Head of School] Dr. Nicholas Kent and Suzanne Buck’s support, we’re moving in a direction to make this committee more of a substantial and proactive part of the school.”

Establishing a DEI Office was a priority for Buck from the beginning, but this plan accelerated into swift and intentional action over the summer months as the call for anti-racism advocacy and justice for citizens such as Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and many others echoed (and echoes still) across the nation.

“So much was happening in our country, and that kind of emotional intensity really heightened the urgency to get this programming into place,” shared Wheeler.

“I have to say that Suzanne’s support in this has been huge,” added Dr. Greenwood. “The success of this office and this position really lives and dies on the support of the Head of School. That’s not to suggest that a tremendous amount of the work doesn’t happen from the ground up — because it absolutely does — but we get more done when the person in charge is deeply supportive of the work.”

Their initial efforts, and they both assured that more is to come, have been met with resounding support from all constituencies.

“At the end of orientation, we hosted a DEI session with the students, and we gave them the chance to share the takeaways they had from the session and any questions or thoughts that they were still working through or pondering,” said Dr. Greenwood. “As [Brandi and I] were reading through the responses, we found that a lot of students were just really appreciative of the school’s move in this direction and that 12

WRA

FALL 2020

this integral part of the school culture has been codified by establishing this office. Across the board — from leadership, alumni members, parents, students — we are seeing that this work and its value is recognized.”

Speaking directly to the parents’ perspective, both Wheeler and Dr. Greenwood shared that they felt a profound sense of support and relief from these community members, many of whom asked to meet one on one after the parent town hall sessions to privately share their input and talk through their concerns.

“I think this has given our parents peace of mind,” said Dr. Greenwood. “It’s really important for them to know that we have what’s distinct and unique about their children on our radar, and that we’re looking to care for each of them individually. We don’t have a one-size-fits-all method of caring for the kids in this community. And I know that this has been weighing on people’s hearts and minds in the wake of everything that has happened, and that our transparency and action have been reassuring.”

Though both he and Wheeler plan to work closely, they see their roles taking different shapes. Dr. Greenwood will examine the school from a wider scope and integrate a DEI perspective into hiring practices, curriculum development and more, while Wheeler will focus on the student experience, the nurturing and support of affinity groups and student clubs. Though they expect there will be plenty of crossover and collaboration, having clear roles will give them the opportunity to focus their energies on being proactive and responsive.

“You’ll see the DEI Office everywhere, partially because that’s just the nature of working in boarding schools,” Dr. Greenwood explained. “We’ll have advisees, we’ll be in the dining hall, we’ll attend events — so we’re definitely going to be visible. But we’re also going to be involved in the community so that we can continue to forge relationships and really establish trust. That’s how you get this work going.”

Both Dr. Greenwood and Wheeler have been pleased to see students already popping in for conversation and questions, and they’re working hard to create a welcoming space that encourages students to stop by.

“I don’t want people to feel that they’re being sent to us and that we’re the diversity police,” he shared. “We will certainly be responsive and will work in partnership with the Student Life Office on these matters, but ultimately I think a lot of the best diversity work happens organically, just through conversations that you’re having with people.”

This is not to suggest that Wheeler and Dr. Greenwood aren’t preparing and planning for intentional teaching moments and programs, but they both shared that significant and impactful learning can happen informally as well. As they say, there will be “scaffolding and a support structure” in place, while moments for unplanned engagement and dialogue will be plentiful.

“One of the things that Brandi and I acknowledged during the orientation was that students are on different levels of familiarity with these topics,” he shared. “There are going to be students who are used to being around a variety of people from many different walks of life, and there will be others where Western Reserve Academy is the most diverse place they’ve ever been. We’re going to see a bit of a learning curve in how to engage effectively, and we recognize that there will be bumps in the road. People are going to say that wrong thing, they are going to make mistakes, but our office is here to help us as a community move through these mistakes and to create support structures for people to build and grow.”

The DEI Office is a resource for all community members, with students as the first and utmost priority, but also encompassing parents, alumni members, faculty and staff.

“I think it’s important that we work with the adults who teach and work here at Reserve. They are such a big piece of the student experience,” said Dr. Greenwood. “Helping to support them in their work matters a great deal to us.”

“In terms of working with alumni,” Wheeler added. “It’s definitely going to play a role in our work. Many DEI Committee members, particularly Wanda Boesch and Jimmy Moynahan, have pushed to get the alumni involved and to ensure that we are having dialogues with a diverse spectrum of alumni members, from age, race, geography and more. The town halls over the summer were a fantastic way to connect with alumni members, and we’re excited to continue this work.”

Separate from the DEI Office, the DEI Committee will remain an active and important participant in the school’s mission to infuse a DEI perspective into all aspects of school life, including classroom culture, residential life, curriculum, hiring practices and more.

“In order to achieve this goal, it’s important that you have involvement from multiple stakeholders,” said Dr. Greenwood.

“As you look at the committee, you can see it’s a deliberately diverse group of folks — not just diverse in terms of race, gender and ethnicity, but also in terms of department. We have a broad spectrum of teachers in different disciplines and administrators involved. It reinforces that this is a responsibility that the adults of Reserve all share.”

In front of Western Reserve Academy is a path toward a more compassionate and integrous environment, where diversity, equity and inclusion is always top of mind and stitched into the fabric of the school.

“With each conversation we have with community members, we’ll start to glean insight and reveal the places in this community that need some more attention in a concerted effort,” said Dr. Greenwood. “What are the things that we can quickly address, and what are the larger initiatives?

Really, our focus will be to equip everyone with the skills, the competency and the confidence to engage in these topics so that it doesn’t fall exclusively onto our office. That’s really how we’ll approach it.”

2 A LOOK INSIDE SEYMOUR 221

I

n the last issue of WRA Magazine we started a new series, An Inside Look, where we take a peek inside the classrooms and homes of some of Reserve’s community members. For this second coup d’oeil into the lives and spaces of our beloved faculty, we visit two faculty members who arrived on Brick Row in 2006.

Modern & Classical Languages Department faculty member Judy Chen is a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee, a faculty resident in Long House and organizer extraordinaire of the popular annual Lunar New Year Concert.

Among her many roles and responsibilities, Chen undeniably fulfills the in loco parentis side of boarding school faculty duties and is even dubbed “mom” by many of her advisees. This year Judy has three Pioneers, four Piofars (our distance learners) and two of her own children, daughter Ariel who lives in Taipei and son Derek who lives in Shanghai. She often hosts gatherings for international students, where Chinese dumplings are at the center of the dinner table.

“Ms. Chen’s loving charm and relatability make her a beacon of light for so many students on campus,” says longtime advisee Amie Ly ’20. “Because of that, she is more than my teacher.

She is family.”

On her desk, Chen keeps a collection of family photos that give her a morning boost of positivity and love, starting each day in the classroom on a happy note. The pictures also serve as a language tool for her students during lessons on the family unit.

2

The little monk carved from wood by her son, Derek, in high school was one of the many indications that he would pursue design. He now works in Shanghai as an architect.

3

The handmade nine-dragon, pure-silver water bottle from Tibet reminds Chen of the clear blue sky at Everest Base Camp (which reaches an elevation of 17,060 feet) on an impression excursion last summer. To her, one of the major advantages of being an educator is having the great opportunity to explore the world during summer break. Chen trained for three months and, though her tour guide initially expressed some concern about her inexperience as a climber, she was one of the only members of her tour who didn’t have altitude sickness! The water bottle was purchased through a foundation that donates funds to benefit a nearby village in Tibet. She carries it with her often to remind her of this adventure.

4

It was a great honor for Chen to receive The Ellen C. Long Chair in Modern Languages, which was established in 1992 by Ellen Long’s husband and Trustee Emeritus, T. Dixon Long ’51, and her children, Samuel D. Long ’84 and Maud Alison C. Long ’86, to reinforce and support Reserve’s excellent program in modern languages.

Chen keeps a smattering of texts on reiki, tai chi, yoga and other topics that focus on creating a strong mind, body and spiritual connection, as well as natural energy and healing. As a Buddhist, Chen keeps these topics top of mind.

6

The Diamond Sutra, printed on a wooden roll, is one of the most influential Mahayana sutras in East Asia.

It may be translated as: “The Perfection of Wisdom Text that Cuts Illusions to Reveal the Ultimate Reality Like a Thunderbolt.”

Compassion and wisdom are Chen’s guide to the bodhisattva’s way of life. This wooden roll is also an excellent resource to explain the Chinese character “book” and to share the story of Confucius, who travelled with his wooden-roll books.

7

The prayer wheel of a six-syllable mantra sends out the blessing day and night. It reads: “Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind figure into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. – H.H. Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama.”

8

Chen keeps plants because they make her happy and — according to her — “they keep the doctors away!”

This semester, she has a money tree, a pot of mums and, of course, her cherry blossom branches that provide a welcome burst of color and beauty.

9

This mosaic, a special gift from a student, depicts a Chinese opera singer. In Chen’s eyes, the work represents the exquisite beauty of this musical theater performance. Traditional Chinese opera holds a special place in her heart, and she takes care to teach her students about Chinese art and culture in her Mandarin Chinese language courses. As she says, you cannot teach language without teaching and celebrating culture.

DR. AGUILAR’S CANCER RESEARCH LAB Ostensibly kind and approachable, Dr. Robert Aguilar is as fascinatingly complex as the subject matter he teaches. Now a fixture in Wilson Hall after 14 years at the school, Dr. Aguilar is known for his impressive curriculum, for preparing students for potential futures in the medical research field and for his eclectic collection of colorful bow ties.

Every day, Dr. Aguilar and his students research cancer vaccines.

Just ask ALEXA — or rather, ask one of the students using the compact and surprisingly heavy real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) machine that bears an uncanny resemblance to an Amazon Echo (“Alexa”) speaker. It’s the newest member of the lab equipment family, a sophisticated laboratory apparatus used to monitor the amplification of DNA segments. Real-time PCR machines are used in many laboratories for the screening of COVID-19.

We couldn’t think of a more fascinating classroom/changethe-world space to visit than this state-of-the-art lab. We’re grateful that Dr. Aguilar invited us in to get a glimpse of what life is like upstairs in his corner of Wilson Hall.

Students fight to get to work under these hoods, which is why there are seven in the lab.

This is where students do most of their cancer cell work. The hoods, like many things in the lab, were partially funded by Parents@WRA, WRA’s parent organization formerly known as the Dads Club and the Pioneer Women’s Association.

Micropipettes. “These are the heart and soul of the lab,” Dr. Aguilar says. They are precision instruments. In every single class Dr. Aguilar teaches, the first thing he covers is how to micropipette. It takes precision and concentration, and it’s one of the single most important skills a student will need to become independent in the lab. “We spend so much time teaching how to pipette because it’s a skill they’ll need forever.”

You can’t have a science lab without microscopes, which are often used by students to take a closer look at their work and monitor progress on their research projects.

Dr. Aguilar says, “The whole purpose of our cancer immunology lab on campus is to find a treatment for cancer. We are training the scientists and physicians of the future.”

The white lab coat is not bestowed lightly — it is earned through hard work and dedication. Students officially receive one when they move up from apprentice to mentor in the program. Dr. Aguilar says, “It’s the sign of a scientist maturing and accepting more responsibility.”

This particular coat belongs to Dr. Aguilar’s daughter Regina ’20, who

Dr. Aguilar used to wear long ties with his shirts, but after one too many run-ins with Bunsen burners and boiling water in the lab, he switched to bow ties. He says they’re less of an occupational hazard. The bow tie he’s wearing in the photo was sewn by Leo Holland ’17, who launched a business making bow ties out of recycled fabric as part of his Compass project.

The PCR machine is used to clone DNA, and students can use it to closely study the DNA of cancer cells.

At the end of each year, cancer immunology students formally present their findings with a poster at the Cancer Research Expo in Wilson Hall. This poster is more than a presentation aid, it is a tangible representation of a year (or, for some, years) of hard work and the unique research students conducted in pursuit of a cancer vaccine. The poster on this wall belongs to Dr. Aguilar and Dr. Vincent K. Tuohy of Cleveland Clinic. It’s there to inspire students and remind them of what they’re working toward.

The iPads around the classroom are important research tools. They are at all of the stations so students can easily monitor and repeat their unique experiments.

The real-time PCR machine sits next to this machine and takes the expression of genes in (you guessed it) real time. It’s used to detect nucleic acid with utmost efficiency and precision. In simpler terms, it clues students in on whether the genes are normal or abnormal.

rowing up, Alan Doe was pretty convinced that he wasn’t going to be a teacher. His mother was a teacher and, in observing how she worked, he could see that being a good teacher required a rather intimidating level of hard work.

When he told his mother such, during one of their many shared discussions held in the kitchen while she cooked, she laughed and replied, “Of course you’ll be a teacher. You love sharing what you know.”

Looking back after decades of teaching, including 32 years at Reserve, Alan had to admit it was hard to argue with that.

Though he began his college studies in science, fully intending to become an animal behavior researcher, the switch to art felt as natural as following a current. Going on to receive his teaching certification in art and special education felt like the right next step (and, notably, was his mother’s idea). Any initial resistance to art education faded as he learned just how rewarding it felt to help students explore their creative aptitude.

“The thing about art is that it allows you to connect in a way that’s incredibly personal, particularly in teaching art,” he said. “You aren’t confined to lectures. You’re able to have conversations that are more psychological and personal in nature. You talk about more than technique. You talk about creativity, self-expression, working through issues in your life.

Having the ability to share this with students and draw out the best in every individual was really the delight of teaching, especially at Reserve.”

When you walk into the Knight Fine Arts Center, specifically through the north entrance next to Wood House, it’s almost as though you’re greeted personally by the art wing of the building. You’re met with the earthy scent of clay and a sharp hint of paint, and the sound of multiple tracks of music spilling from the art room, ceramic room and dance studio.

It’s warm, vibrant and inviting, and for years this atmosphere was nurtured by Alan and former Fine & Performing Arts Department faculty member Tom Armbruster, who retired last year. “[Fostering a love of creative exploration] was definitely something that Tom and I cultivated, working together all of those decades, and he would often remind me that this was the important thing,” he shared. “Learning how to draw or paint, that was secondary to learning how to love what you do and discovering something new. It’s really about finding your voice, and if you allow a student to explore a lot of different possibilities, they’ll have a better chance of finding their voice and their instrument. I think everyone is artistic, but it takes receiving positive direction so that your voice can sing.”

The Artist, the Educator, the Documentarian As we extend our sincere congratulations to Alan Doe as he settles into retirement, we wonder how we will ever find his equal in encouraging and devoted mentorship, his beautiful capture of campus and student life via the camera lens, and his quiet yet powerful impact on this school. In our hearts, we know we never will.

During his tenure as both a faculty member and Chair of the Fine & Performing Arts Department, Alan could see the value of the arts at Western Reserve Academy is carved in stone and as integral to the educational experience as its other departments, such as Mathematics and English.

“The arts have always been a core part of the education system,” he said. “Personally, as a scientist turned artist and as a photographer who embraces the science and art, I have to tell you that I am a firm believer that the learning takes place through multiple channels. I think that the arts are particularly important to students like ours because art gives them other ways to synthesize their learning, to be potentially recognized for giftedness, to break out of the typical classroom mode and learn differently. The arts also give them more possibilities to be self-actualized — to understand what resonates with their psyche, what will fulfill them. Our students have talents and resources, things that will allow them to make a living, but self-actualization, according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, is the highest goal of being human. I think the arts provide this opportunity better than any other subject.”

Notably, Alan’s final year at Reserve did not take place on campus. In November 2019, he departed for Japan as part of his John W. Hallowell Sabbatical year, with the goal of

completing the Shikoku Pilgrimage, a 700-mile circuit that passes through 88 Buddhist temples on the island. It has become a famous journey, similar to El Camino de Santiago Pilgrimage, but it is not a trip for the faint of heart. Though there are accommodations to be found along the way, it is common to rest wherever you can find shelter, such as in the temples or (on one memorable occasion) under a park bench.

“The whole trip takes about 45 days, and you’re really living both in shelter and out in the open,” he shared. “During the day, you’re walking through the countryside, the cities and mountains, all kinds of terrain. You meet a lot of people along the way, and you might hike with them a couple of days and then you split off and meet someone else. I must have met a couple dozen people, ranging in age from young 20s to 70s.

It was quite the experience. The people were amazing. And of course, every temple is gorgeous. They’re just these meditative havens. There are ponds with giant koi, beautiful plants. It was just six weeks of sensory delight.”

After arriving and a slightly rocky start — “I jumped on a plane and, well, got lost immediately. I found my way to the first temple in the middle of the night.” — he made his way through the pilgrimage, hiking roughly 20 miles a day, at times up incredibly steep mountains, and weaving his way through a FALL 2020

countryside in a nation where English is spoken only sparingly.

“My mom used to say, ’God looks after the fools,’” he joked.

“I had little more than a cell phone map and some basic translations, and I had to learn to navigate the path marked with these tiny signs pointing in one direction, and that direction wasn’t always right.”

The physical toll of this trip left Alan 25 pounds lighter, and he admitted that there were times when he thought he might not be able to endure another day of such weary work. But the purpose of the pilgrimage (though it varies from traveler to traveler) was a powerful and profound incentive to push forward.

“When you arrive at each temple, there’s a process of lighting incense, saying prayers, ringing the bell,” he shared. “The last temple I visited was one I had missed along the way. I went back at the end, and it was actually very fortuitous because they have this beautiful ceremony where you go in through the back of the temple, which is a very sacred space, and you float some camphor leaves down a little stream, and you burn a piece of wood that has memories on it. It’s a way of honoring your ancestors, people who have passed. That was important to me, for my parents, my brother, and a daughter...It was quite a thing to experience.”

He describes the pilgrimage as transformative as in the beginning the path feels insurmountable. Your muscles haven’t yet developed, and your body hasn’t adjusted to the physical toil. But what was incredible and motivating to him was the knowledge that everybody gets through it.

“Everything is just one step at a time,” he said. “It doesn’t matter how steep the hill is, how many mountains there are. It doesn’t matter if it’s pouring rain. It’s just one step forward. It’s something that resonates now with me, through the psychological burden we’re experiencing in this time of COVID-19. It helps to know that you just have to take a breath and take another step, and no matter how long it takes, you know that you’ll get through it.”

Before he departed, he made stops in the beautiful and more 20

FALL 2020

densely populated cities of Osaka and Kyoto — very different sights from Shikoku’s wildlife and countryside dotted with little houses and farms, but ones that gave him a wider lens to take in the cultural and scenic breadth of the country.

“That was important to me,” he shared. “My mother was Japanese, but I had never been to Japan myself. There were a lot of things that I knew would resonate genetically — the air, the light, the water. It was something that I was really looking forward to experiencing, as well as knowing I’d have the chance to do some reflecting, some writing and photographing.”

A selection of his photos was displayed in a special Moos Gallery show and is also captured on his social media and in a special photo book. The photographs reveal the breathtaking sights along the path, the beautiful temples he visited and their surrounding, almost eerily beautiful landscapes. In a selfie series, he documented a personal odyssey, featuring expressions of triumph, exhaustion and joy, and some friends met along the way.

During the remainder of his sabbatical, Alan spent part of the cold winter with his daughter Lindsay in her home in sunny Baja California Sur, Mexico. Back on campus, he archived decades of negatives, reviewing footage shot years ago and experiencing, in a way, a time lapse of his tenure behind the camera.

At the end of the school year, WRA hosted a virtual gathering for faculty and staff to say a fond farewell to the departing community members and thank them for their incredible work.

As Fine & Performing Arts Department faculty member Donalee Ong shared beautiful remarks, she said something that resonated with Alan about his service to the school community.

“She made a statement about how I had documented the school for three decades and that has become the vision of Reserve,” he said. “That struck me because, you know, you don’t realize what you’re doing day in and day out. But an artist has a style, and photographers have certain visions that they apply to their imagery. It’s called pre-visualization.”

When photographing an event, the camera lens he selects or the angle from which he shoots is determined by this vision,

and the resulting photos are as personal as a signature.

“When I was archiving those negatives, I realized that what I had been doing all of those years was capturing the lives of these students as though they were my family,” he shared. “For me, it wasn’t enough to go to a football game and capture one great play, you’re trying to get a great action shot that shows the athlete’s face. And doing this, you’re providing pictures for the families that can’t be there or can’t get a close-up.”

The portraits and action shots are more than just beautiful images, they are treasured keepsakes and captured memories.

And to Donalee’s astute point, his photos are a comprehensive and illustrative method of record-keeping. If we were to display every photo taken by Alan, the resulting gallery of (we estimate) more than half a million images would undoubtedly tell a thousand different stories of past students and how this school has both sustained its historic character while also moving through time. It’s a truly humbling contribution.

From his point of view, it’s been a privilege to be a part of this process.

“There’s something special about going over to somebody’s house and seeing my photograph on their refrigerator or visiting their Facebook page and my photo is their cover picture,” he shared. “I love being able to give that gift. And a lot of those moments just have to do with being there in the right moment. If I’m out at a soccer game, and I see some faculty kids playing on the sidelines, I might turn the lens and snap a picture to send to their parents. It’s this precious moment that might otherwise be lost. I think it used to mean more because, before the days of cell phones, those pictures were really rare.

But I was still — I am still — happy to do that. It’s my gift to the community, and one I was glad to give.”

Now settled in Cuyahoga Falls, facing new projects and renovating his new home, he feels the early stages of a kind of homesickness. He already misses the students, their energy, intellect, talents and eagerness to engage.

“They’re truly these wonderful human beings that surround you,” he said. “And it’s not just one or two that stand out, they really are everywhere. I’ve loved the conversations I’ve had with Reserve kids, and how they were continuously brilliant, delightful, interesting. And as a teacher, you’re sort of the focus of that attention. I’ll miss that terribly.”

The Reserve community, which has been his family for three decades, are friends, colleagues and neighbors whom he will undeniably miss, though he shared that he hasn’t yet adjusted to this new reality. The pain he will feel in missing everyone, which he knows is coming, has not yet reached him.

We feel a similar denial, even in writing this. It is strange to think that we won’t pass him nearly each day and that we won’t have the same access to his thoughtful input, his friendly conversation, his enthusiasm and passionate mentorship, his outstanding photography. But there’s comfort in knowing he won’t be far and in saying (though it doesn’t feel like enough) thank you for all of your gifts, and in knowing that the door is always open.

Some Student Remarks: Mr. Doe always has a warm smile which made it a joy to spend time in the art room. It was inspiring to watch him make his own art as he taught us to be the type of artists that continue to create. Outside of the art room, he was there for all the important moments — photographing, supporting, or cheering us on.

– Autumn DeSellem ’97 After 25 years, his influence and impression on me haven't waned, particularly having found a career in education. I’m a proud 1995 alumna of WRA, but equally so, I’d like to think, a disciple of Mr. Doe. He was a profoundly good listener, and his very distinct, endearing laugh assured you that he cared and loved being around his students — not solely as a humbly talented artist and teacher, but also as a mentor, dorm parent, and a life coach of sorts.

Early on, he afforded me the opportunity to begin developing an understanding of and an appreciation for the artistic process - one that comes in many forms, but perhaps the most influential to my life is finding beauty where it’s most difficult. Offering my utmost gratitude on the occasion of his retirement is not difficult, but the thought of his departure from Reserve — his inspiring artistry, guidance and wisdom — will be sorely missed. Congratulations, Mr. Doe, on creating such a beautiful legacy!

– Marisa Ferrara ’95 Mr. Doe was always encouraging and thoughtful with his students.

I ended up attending design school at Carnegie Mellon University and working in a creative field which he gave me the confidence to pursue. Art classes were a mix of learning solid fundamentals and choose-your-own-adventure. He allowed exploration and encouraged us to push the limits of the curriculum. I spent more time in his studio than anywhere else on campus in my four years at Reserve. Mr. Doe leaves behind a legacy that will be hard to match and he will be missed. His mark will stay on all of us who were lucky enough to have learned from him during his tenure. I wish him happiness and adventure in his new chapter.

t will come as no surprise to those who know Gerard Manoli that upon reflecting on his years at Western Reserve Academy his first thoughts turn to gratitude. He took his time speaking, his words thoughtful and measured, as he thought back to 1989 and the first few years, recalling happy first impressions and surprising conversations.

On the day they arrived, ready to move into the downstairs apartment in Cartwright House, they were greeted by a small team of maintenance staff members, waiting at their doorstep to help with the move. It may seem a small gesture, but for the Manolis it was one of the very first acts of care from a habitually helpful and welcoming community.

“My transition to Reserve could not have been easier,” he said.

“I had spent seven years at the Kiski School before, and while there I had gotten to know a number of people at Reserve.

When Skip Flanagan reached out, recruited me, [Chrissy and I] came to campus to see if it would be a good fit.”

In his first year, Gerard taught in four different classrooms in two buildings, and one of his classes was in the basement of Seymour Hall, a windowless room that, from time to time, tended to flood! When he mentioned this to fellow faculty member Travis Weber, Weber was quick to offer the use of his own classroom.

The way he remembers, it was his beloved late wife Christine (Chrissy) who sealed the deal. The Manolis spent the day with Skip and Britt Flanagan, exploring the WRA campus, touring the town of Hudson and visiting the Hudson schools to see where their new daughter, Elena ’06, might be attending.

“I remember getting back in the car, turning to Chrissy and asking, ‘What do you think?’ And she immediately said, ‘We’re moving.’”

“You know, it’s funny what you remember from your first years here,” said Gerard. “There were guys like T. Weber and Frank Longstreth who had been there forever, and they were just so kind and supportive. I think I just casually mentioned the flooding classroom to T. Weber, and he said, ‘Well, let’s look at our schedules. Here, you can use my classroom on these days.’ For me, that was a pretty big deal. I’m the new guy, and

this guy has been around for so long. I just thought that was so thoughtful and sweet.”

Frank Longstreth and T. Weber are part of a much longer list of WRA family members who made a positive impact on his time and tenure. He made sure to name everyone who came to mind: Howard Kaplan, the Closens, Skip and Britt Flanagan, the Horgans, Jeff Warner, Pat Smith, Tom Davis, Dale Conley, Jim McClelland, Eric Gustavson — a wonderful group who made themselves immediately helpful to him and to his family.

This is, of course, not the end of his list. He admits there just may be too many to name. He did share that what stands out to him are these recent years after his wife’s passing in 2016, a tremendously difficult time during which he found comfort and solace in the Reserve community. People surrounded him and his family in the same unwavering support and warmth that he and Chrissy immediately felt upon their arrival. It is a characteristic, he said, of a community in which the people care deeply for one another and take care of each other without pause.

around us when Chrissy became ill and when she passed away,” he shared. “We’ll never be able to repay the kindness, love and support that we received. Ruth Andrews was my guardian angel, and I don’t know what I would have done without her during that time — the way she rallied the community and helped me put together the memorial service. I really can’t describe the way Chris and Ali, the dining team members, and really the whole community supported us during that time. It meant so much to Elena, Clare and I. The thing is, the people here, they’re really not just your colleagues. They’re your friends and neighbors. They’re family.”

Reserve has been home to Gerard for 38 years, and the transition to a new home in Stow, Ohio, has been bittersweet.

There’s now time for developing new habits and hobbies, for exercise, volunteer work and reading. In a post-pandemic world, he hopes to travel and spend time with daughters Elena ’06 and Clare ’09, but for now, he looks forward to continuing his lifelong study of mathematics and finding opportunities to teach in some capacity, perhaps as a tutor.

“When I think about what I’ll miss most of all, it has to be the classroom,” said Gerard, “stepping across that threshold, teaching in person and getting to know the students so well.”

It has to be a difficult routine to break when one has been doing the same thing for nearly four decades. Teaching mathematics has been an enriching and rewarding career, particularly teaching Reserve students, whom he was told, off the bat, were exceptional.

“When I was deciding whether or not to come to Reserve, I reached out to a lot of people, and every single person told me, ‘You’ll never find a nicer group of kids,’” he shared. “And I found that to be absolutely true, and it has been true during my entire tenure here.”

If you ask Gerard what he most enjoys about teaching mathematics, he identifies a specific conversation he has with students. It begins, as you might suspect, with a question.

“Just being a part of that process, when a student comes in, doesn’t know something and so you explain it, demonstrate it and give them feedback as they progress from not knowing to knowing, from not understanding to understanding, that’s just an incredible honor,” he said.

It’s no surprise, then, that one of the qualities he admires most in students is their willingness to work and work hard.

“It’s so rewarding when a student gets it, especially when it doesn’t come easily at first,” he said. “It takes time, practice, feedback and repetition, but the moment it clicks, you can see that they not only can do it, but they understand why it’s done that way and that all the steps make sense now. It’s an achievement, and that’s why teaching for understanding has always been my thing.”

Over the years as a teacher, advisor and coach, he can’t say that he’s noticed a perceptible change in students. He sees their stress levels are higher and their worries are more palpable as they face an increasingly competitive college landscape, but at their core, they have stayed the same capable, kind and willing kids he met his first year here.

In a similar vein, he has found the parents of these students to be consistently accepting and empowering.

“Whether I was teaching, advising or coaching their kids, I found WRA parents to be incredibly supportive of everything I did,” he shared.

As a longtime boys track & field coach, having held the title of Head Coach since 1994, Gerard got to know the students of Reserve as athletes. It’s a time he cherishes and will dearly miss.

“I love watching the kids compete and watching them improve,” he said. “I love it when a kid discovers that they’re good at something they’ve never done before, like that they’re a good hurdler when they’ve never hurdled in their life. The thing about track and field is that it’s rarely a student’s primary sport.

I would always joke that I had 65 soccer players, basketball players, wrestlers, swimmers and football players on my team as they turned to track and field for their spring sport.”

This means that every season would bring athletes with little to no experience. For Gerard, it was a wonderful thing to see a new wave of students realize they were good at hurdling, at high jump, at something new.

“I’ve coached track for 38 years,” he said. “What I love about the sport is how supportive the athletes are of one another. I think sometimes in different sports, there’s so much competition for playing time, which sometimes can lead to some pretty unhappy kids. But with me, I can have 65 happy kids, because I’ll have 17 events and I need every single athlete!”

He also appreciates the camaraderie of the girls track & field team, in sharing practices and meets with their fellow athletes, and working alongside Head Coach Geno Thomas ’68 to build a supportive, competitive and encouraging program.

“It’s so rewarding when a student gets it, especially when it doesn’t come easily at first.”

“Like with swimming, it’s about as close as we ever come to coed sports,” he said. “And it creates this really positive atmosphere where we all sit and cheer for each other. It’s special.”

For Gerard, the Waite Chair is a beautiful gesture to honor an incredible former faculty member, and it’s one of many acts, big and small, in which Reserve alumni members do what they can to thank the faculty members that made an impact on them.

In recognition of his years of phenomenal teaching, coaching and student mentorship, Gerard was awarded the Rollin W. Waite Chair in Mathematics & Science in 2010. For Gerard, it was a particularly meaningful recognition, as he knew Rollin as a Kiski parent.

“I think it’s such a testament to the kind of influence that a single teacher can have on a student’s life,” said Gerard.

“Chuck clearly considered Rollie not only to be a wonderful math teacher — which he is, I’ve yet to run into anyone better than Rollie Waite — but also that he clearly inspired Chuck to pursue mathematics and science, and that Chuck never forgot his influence. I think that happens all the time at a place like Reserve.”

“Before I came to Reserve, Rollie’s son Tim went to Kiski,” he shared. “Tim was not only one of my students, but he was a prefect in the dorm. In coming to Reserve, I was lucky enough to teach alongside Rollie for a few years. He was certainly a mentor to me.”

The Waite Chair was established in 2010 through the generosity of Charles ’60 and Susan Snyder to attract and retain teachers of the highest caliber, whose expertise, expectations, standards and lessons would inspire young people and help transform lives.

Gerard was incredibly moved to be the inaugural recipient. “[Charles] and Sue are just wonderful people, and I can’t thank them enough for endowing that Chair,” he said. “I’ve enjoyed keeping in touch with them over the past several years, and Chuck is clearly a lifelong student of mathematics. We’d send each other book recommendations, our thoughts on big questions in mathematics, developments in pure and applied mathematics. It’s been a lot of fun. He’s even sent me copies of notes he took in Rollie’s class.”

What Gerard may not realize is how he is the Rollie Waite to so many Reserve students. In the following series, we collected the memories and ruminations of former students, advisees and athletes, though we admit that it is just a snippet of the larger impact Gerard has had on Reserve and its Pioneers. It goes without saying that Western Reserve Academy is certainly bereft without the presence of Gerard Manoli and that we are missing his unassuming sincerity, his thoughtful and nurturing care, his humor, his commitment, and his comforting, supportive attention.

If it’s too hard to say farewell, take comfort in knowing that he encourages everyone to stay in touch. Follow in the footsteps of many of his former advisees, track & field athletes, and students: Instead of goodbye, say, “Thank you for everything. I’ll talk to you soon.”

“My experience with him was solely on the track team, which was such a great time. I really loved it, and actually I would say thanks to Gerard, I went on to compete for years as a decathlete at college. I directly attribute that to him, he taught me so much in just two years of track and field. He showed me how to train, how to think like an athlete. He was just such a great coach and mentor to me.”

– Nate Mealy ’02 “Mr. Manoli taught me both Precalculus and AP Calculus in high school, and in that short time, he transformed the way I thought about my mathematical abilities. His careful, methodical style made math approachable and understandable to everyone in the class. The foundation that Mr. Manoli gave me is the main reason I pursued math in college, and eventually majored in it. And the first principles that Mr. Manoli imparted have carried me all the way through my many years of school, especially during my PhD in economics (which is largely a math-based approach to economics). Beyond his teaching gifts, Mr. Manoli is one of the kindest people I have ever met. The thoughtfulness he brings to his work is matched only by the care he has for his students, friends, family, and community. It is rare to be an exceptional teacher, and even rarer to have the kind of heart that Mr. Manoli has. It’s the reason I have stayed in touch with him after all these years, and why he is such a gift to Reserve.”

– Lisa Abraham ’06 “Mr. Manoli was my Algebra II teacher. I remember I was the oldest student in the class. That, coupled with my fair-tomiddlin’ math skills, set me up to be very anxious. It didn’t take long for me to realize that Mr. Manoli taught like no one else with whom I had studied. Between being CIA-observant — catching our tones of voice, the frequency with which we asked questions, where we sat, with whom we sat — and exceptionally insightful regarding where we (they) excelled and where we (meaning me) felt challenged, he was straight outta Marvel (or DC). Mr. Manoli worked with me a couple of times a week for — he might remember — six or seven months that year. He helped me get my highest grades ever in math (and this includes college) by breaking down the formulas and problems like a strategist. Neither of us knew my first job would be in brand strategy, and this way of problem solving — the numbers make puzzles to solve and there are tactics and tricks applied to find their solutions — encouraged and humbled me. More importantly than all of this, I am a better person because Mr. Manoli showed me how being empathetic and kind are as important as being smart, hard-working, and focused, if not more so. This wasn’t discussed in class: He exemplified this. He still does. I’m honored and grateful to have been his student.

Calling Gerard, Chrissy (who was an icon like no one else, as everyone who knew her can attest), Clare, and Elena friends is one of my life’s gifts. While he will be truly missed, and rightly so, his legacy as a teacher, coach, advisor, and friend is forever.”

“I had the honor of first meeting Mr. Manoli during freshman-year track season. The recollection of my memories suggests that he was an exceptional coach in many different ways, but I was most touched by his constant encouragement that he provided the athletes, especially during the times of difficulty, such as injuries and losses in events. As I recall, during my first-ever hurdle race, I fell over three hurdles in a row, embarrassing myself in front of a huge crowd and hurting my PCL. Sitting alone immediately following the race and bursting into tears, I was soon greeted by Mr. Manoli who sat down next to me and told me that I was such a brave young man who continued and finished the race even after falling over once, twice, and thrice and that there was no reason for me to keep my head down. I was alleviated and inspired to work harder so that I could one day finish the race without falling. I later decided to join Mr. Manoli’s advisory beginning in sophomore year. I miss sit-down meals where I got to learn that he was a big football and basketball fan. I miss going over to his house for dinner and being greeted by his dog whose hair ruined my entire dress pants, my meticulous attempt to look sharp in front of a man whom I admire. I miss attending required one-on-one meetings with Mr. Manoli and ending up spending three-fourths of the time talking about not school.

Mr. Manoli was such an important part of my life at WRA, and I miss him dearly.”

He’s been a teacher to me my whole life, and, boy, am I lucky for that. He is one of the reasons I wouldn’t trade growing up as a faculty kid on the Reserve campus for anything. The most distinct memories I have of Gerard from my childhood are backyard hangouts with him, his beloved wife, Chrissy, and the other faculty members that comprised a tight-knit community of educators and friends. I got to sit on the edge of their grownup conversations, absorbing what I could, wondering about what I couldn’t. Gerard’s contributions were always thoughtful, balanced, wise. He helped me see what it meant to take in information from the world and have an opinion on it. I’m grateful for these memories and that Gerard was a part of the wonderful village that raised me. As a student at Reserve, I got to see Gerard be a hero to many others. On the track team, we loved running for Gerard. He helped us to run faster, but, more profoundly, he also taught us to respect the sport and each other. As someone who’s since been a teacher myself (and Gerard definitely gets some credit there too), I can speak to what an impressive accomplishment it was that Gerard managed to get a group of teenagers to appreciate what a joy it is just to be present and hanging out as a team together on a beautiful, early spring Saturday morning in Ohio. And we really did. I can still bring back the shared feeling we had on those mornings. It was awesome. I’m sure no Reserve runner from that time forgets Gerard’s lucky shirt either!”

Anna Barlow-Boesch Returns as WRA's Director of College Counseling Western Reserve Academy is pleased to welcome Anna Barlow-Boesch back to campus!

O

n a beautiful July afternoon, Anna Barlow-Boesch sat at a table in her parents’ Michigan summer home, her back to the sunshine as she faced her computer screen.

Graciously, she had agreed to an interview via RingCentral Meetings, and the call felt closer to a happy reunion, interspersed with cheerful hellos from her dog (Zoey) and husband (William).

This summer, Barlow-Boesch returns to Western Reserve Academy as the Director of College Counseling, a move she describes as a homecoming.

She brings great experience working from “both sides of the desk,” with her career beginning in college admission at Connecticut College before making the switch to secondary school college counseling in 2008 at the Out-of-Door Academy in Sarasota, Florida. After two years in the Sunshine State, she decided to return north and embrace boarding school life at

Western Reserve Academy, where she served as the Associate Director of College Counseling until 2017, when she made the move to Tabor Academy. This year, she rejoins our College Counseling Office.

We sat down with Barlow-Boesch to discuss WRA’s approach to counseling students through the college process, how COVID-19 has impacted the college landscape and more.

How does it feel to be back at WRA?

It feels like I’m coming home! There’s certainly comfort in the familiarity, but at the same time, there’s a lot that has changed in the last three years, which is exciting and invigorating.

There’s this great balance of new and old, the familiar and the unfamiliar. I’m especially excited about Suzanne [Buck], and just the energy and warmth she’s bringing to her role and to the school. I continued to follow WRA on social media, and I was really touched by some of her initiatives, like opening up Pierce FALL 2020

House and throwing monthly birthday parties for students.

It speaks volumes about who she is as a leader and what she values.

How do you define the role of Director of College Counseling?

As college counseling team members, we may have advisees, live in the dorms, coach a sport or teach. We’ll attend baseball games, musicals, dance performances — we’ll really get to know these students in multifaceted ways by engaging with them in a lot of different capacities.

That’s a big question! I think the main role and responsibility of the director is to effectively lead a team that is fully committed to supporting students and families as best we can through a college landscape that constantly changes from year to year. And I think especially in our current times with the pandemic, there’s a lot that is shifting and evolving as it pertains to college admission. I want to make sure that our team and our programming supports students in the best way possible, not only so they are able to navigate the landscape effectively but so they feel good about their process and experience and are really excited about what their future holds after WRA. I think so much of the work that we do must be studentcentered, keeping us focused on addressing each student as the individual they are and recognizing that every student brings their own unique set of ideas and goals and aspirations. We need to be prepared to meet them wherever they are so that they feel like they’re receiving the help and support they need and to feel that they’re able to find the kind of success that they have been working toward during their time at Reserve.

What is the significance of interacting with students as early as freshman year?

It’s part of our mission to know our students right from the very beginning, and I believe that is a really unique aspect of a boarding school experience. As college counseling team members, we may have advisees, live in the dorms, coach a sport or teach. We’ll attend baseball games, musicals, dance performances — we’ll really get to know these students in multifaceted ways by engaging with them in a lot of different capacities.

And what this means is that we’re constantly enhancing our ability to be really effective college counselors because we develop these relationships and are able to see students in different areas of their life at WRA. This helps us be better at our work, be better advocates for our students. When we’re writing the school statement or when we’re on the phone with college admission officers, we can talk about the student, not just in their college counseling process, but in all the other areas we’ve seen them engage in and contribute to school life.

What are some of the practical challenges related to COVID-19?

This pandemic has thrown so much into disarray when it comes to the college process.

The biggest and most publicized are the challenges with standardized testing and students’ ability to sit in and take tests in the way they expected before this pandemic happened.

Thankfully, what we’re seeing is that essentially all colleges have responded to this challenge by making test scores optional this year, which is really helpful. I think it will alleviate some of the pressure for students in the sense that if they are only able to take a test once or not at all, that colleges are being very forthright in saying that it will not be held against them if they are unable to submit test scores with their application.

Our job is to help students navigate through this and process this information. In general, standardized testing creates a lot of anxiety in the college admission process, so we’re anticipating that these new test-optional policies might actually generate new uncertainties. For example, I’ve fielded questions from students and parents who understand colleges are saying that scores are optional, but have asked, “Is this really optional?” The way I’ve been counseling on this topic is to look at standardized testing as something that can only help an application, not hurt it. If they are able to take the test and receive a strong enough score, then they should go ahead and submit it. But if they don’t submit it, they should know that colleges are just going to look a bit more closely at their transcript. Colleges have gone on the record saying that it’s not going to be held against them, and we have to put our faith in that.

So that’s one sort of practical challenge that we’re going to have to support students through. Another is knowing that a lot of students might end up applying to colleges, site unseen, since so many campuses have been closed to visitors. It’s been difficult for students to have that typical college visit experience, and they’re going to need to rely a bit more on virtual tours and information sessions, and find ways to learn about and engage with schools on a virtual platform. I think for a lot of students, this is disappointing and even unsettling, but I will say that colleges have been really thoughtful and creative in what kind of virtual programming they have put in place for students.

On our end, we fully intend to continue offering students the opportunity to engage with college admission representatives this fall, which will all be virtual. Students will still be able to engage with the individual who will likely read their application once it is received, can still get their questions answered and can still connect one on one with the college admission representative. We offered these virtual sessions at Tabor this

spring, and students were pleasantly surprised at how effective they actually were. So I think it’ll be reassuring for WRA students to still see that there is merit in meeting with these individuals, even if it can’t be in person these next few months.

Lastly, all of higher education is facing unprecedented challenges and this promises to be a very interesting admission cycle. Given the unpredictability of this virus, the question of whether colleges can operate in-person or have to remain remote for learning, and the likelihood that many institutions will face real and substantive enrollment challenges, we in the College Counseling Office will work hard to stay informed and connected to our admission colleagues. These relationships will continue to ensure our ability to guide students with the most current information and understanding of the admission landscape, recognizing that this year will be unlike any before it.

What are some of the philosophical challenges related to COVID-19?

It’s really about dealing with the general uncertainty, the unknown, which is always there in the college admission process but is exacerbated by what’s happening this year. I think uncertainty inevitably breeds more questions and anxiety, so as counselors, we need to be prepared to offer guidance, comfort and support and really encourage students to focus on what they have control over, which is the quality of their application and the strength and balance of their overall college list.

Interestingly, the advice that we’re giving to students really isn’t much different from what we’ve been telling them for years.

It’s about focusing on what you can control, such as engaging with the colleges to try and determine a good fit and putting energy and effort into the whole process. We do this because what we see is students fixating on the things they can’t control like institutional priorities that may influence an admission decision, when their application gets read and who else is in the applicant pool. We do our best to try and shift the focus to doing your absolute best with the different components of your application, relying on your college counselor to help you craft the final list of schools that’s balanced and appropriate, working closely together on reviewing essays and applications for accuracy and completion, and positioning yourself to be as competitive as you can be in the college admission process.

Knowing that colleges have made parts of the application, like test scores, optional, is there a sense that students need to produce more compelling, creative applications?

I wouldn’t say so. I think so often this process puts sort of unnecessary and unfair stress and expectations on students who, emotionally and developmentally, don’t really need to have that weight on their shoulders. Personally, I always feel pulled in two different directions on this topic — one where I acknowledge the realities of how selective colleges are and what students must do to be positioned well to be competitive,

and another where I want to honor the authenticity of and uniqueness of students while recognizing they might not be ready to make some of these decisions.

So how do we as college counselors strike that balance in a way that’s healthy and productive? The amazing thing about Reserve is how we’ve created so many opportunities for students to start engaging in areas of passion that then potentially turn into admission hooks at an early point. It’s so ingrained into the curriculum and the student culture, where students are just naturally pushed to pursue what is authentically interesting to them, so that it’s extremely likely that they’ll end up doing what colleges are looking for.

As it relates to COVID-19, I think colleges acknowledge and understand that co-curricular and extracurricular involvements have clearly been impacted by this crisis, but they’ll be curious to see what students have done and how they’ve been creative in structuring their time. Did you work a summer job, bake your way through the Betty Crocker cookbook, volunteer at local food banks? There’s any number of different ways a student could and can pursue interests that might look a little different than what they would have without the pandemic, but these things can still be captured in an application to demonstrate to colleges that even though your life has been turned upside down, you sought opportunities to engage in your interests.

We know that part of the value proposition of a boarding school is a compelling and competitive college admission list. How do you navigate these conversations with families?

I think one of our biggest responsibilities and tasks is managing expectations in a way that assures both the student and the parent that, at the end of the day, we absolutely have the best interests of the student in mind. Ultimately, everyone is working toward the same goal, which is helping that student find a college where they are going to become their best, most successful and most fulfilled self. For some students, that may mean going to places like Stanford, Harvard, Amherst or Williams, but not for every student. We will work just as hard in support of those students who have those Ivy League aspirations as students who are excited to go to a non-Ivy League institution.

You can change the conversation to make it less about the type of college and more focused on the process and ultimately what the goal is that we’re all working towards, all while stressing that individualized approach.

What’s interesting is that I find I’m having this conversation less and less. I think at the end of the day, our parents just want what’s best for their child and will do everything they can to help them achieve their goals. And they’re put at ease once they realize that we, as college counselors, want the same thing, that we’re on the same team and that we’re going to work together through this process.

The Irrefutable Modus Operandi of WRA’s Technology Team

A

t Western Reserve Academy, the Technology Office provides far more than exceptional tech support. Made up of Chief Innovation Officer Matt Gerber, Director of Education Technology Caitlin Fritz, Director of Network Administration Brian Schwartz and newest team member End User Support and Systems Technician Andrew Bayura, the team may be better viewed as innovators, education technologists and (in times of computer malfunction or mayhem) real-time saviors. They are the heroes who ride in, sometimes literally on their golf cart, ready to solve problems and fix what needs to be fixed. They won’t even shame you if the solution is as simple as turning it off and turning it back on again.

Even this doesn’t seem like a fitting description of everything they do. With the installation of the Wang Innovation Center in 2016, WRA’s Technology Office became docents of the space, experts on the equipment and an even more valuable resource for the school. Thanks to their stewardship, time and care, WRA has forged even stronger connections with the Northeast Ohio community, built 30

partnerships with local businesses and created countless opportunities to work with WRA’s expansive alumni network.

Outside of these duties and ongoing projects, they keep the school’s systems and equipment running efficiently and smoothly, they run maintenance and upgrades when needed, and on top of all that, they teach, they coach and they head dorms, too.

All of this is to say that they seem to be everywhere, working on multiple projects, all at once. This was never more evident than when Western Reserve Academy shifted to distance learning in March of 2020 in response to COVID-19.

The school relied on the team’s expertise to prepare and quickly equip it for successful and engaging online learning.

In the weeks and months that followed, the Technology Office was an integral partner in WRA’s successful distance learning program. They did a great deal of the heavy lifting to deliver joyful experiences to an online platform, were instrumental in preparing the school for the 2020-21 reopening, and — somehow — found time to create and donate 2,000

face shields to first responders, hospitals and businesses.

During the last week of February 2020, Gerber was in Philadelphia for the 2020 National Association of Independent Schools Annual Conference. In between the sessions and speaking events, the hallways were abuzz with conversation about this deadly virus, the World Health Organization’s declaration of a global health emergency and what it could mean for the independent school world.

Back on campus, Gerber and his team members began thinking about the very real possibility that WRA could move to online learning and asked themselves what it would require.

To give some context, roughly a week later on March 9, WRA would announce that the school would transition to a distance learning model for the two weeks following its spring break. On March 18, the school would announce that distance learning would take place for the remainder of the school year.

Between the time this decision was made and the day Gerber returned from the conference, he and his team made time to think critically about this transition, predict the issues they would need to confront, and put a plan in place before the problems occurred. Questions to consider included: How could WRA teach classes such as those in the Fine & Performing Arts and Integrated Studies and Design departments in a virtual atmosphere? How do you teach choir, dance and Learn to Make in an online format?

How can faculty members provide compelling and engaging materials to students in China through the firewall?

How would they train 45+ faculty members to teach in a strictly online environment and help them adjust their curriculum accordingly?

What happens if a student can’t connect to their classroom?

In short, it was a seismic undertaking with a very limited turnaround time, but both Schwartz and Gerber pointed out that there were two critical components already in place that made the transition much smoother.

“In a way, we were actually ahead of the curve,” explained Gerber. “We had already made upgrades to our internal systems. We added RingCentral, which is our communications platform, and that included the ability to conduct online meetings. That was pretty crucial. We also had switched to Canvas, our learning management system. Again, that was another way to upgrade our resources with no thought of COVID-19. When we started to think about how online learning could take place, we knew we could use the RingCentral Meetings part of the platform, which created online meeting spaces similar to Zoom, and Canvas naturally integrated with that. Those are two really big pieces that we already had in place, while other schools had to scramble to figure out which programs would be best suited for them.”

Schwartz and Fritz spent a great deal of time experimenting on RingCentral Meetings,

working through various teaching scenarios and developing step-by-step tutorials for the teaching staff, who had to be trained quickly.

Fritz and Schwartz remember providing a lot of instruction and assurance to faculty, staff and students during this time, particularly to those teachers not as naturally adept at using technology.

One day might include 30 or more oneon-one meetings, where either Schwartz or Fritz would connect virtually with individuals to better acclimate them to the program and talk through any concerns. It wasn’t uncommon to begin their workday around 7:30 a.m. and conclude it well after 11 p.m. It took more than patience to work this way; it took a sincere desire to help their community navigate a very strange time.

Once faculty received their training, the Technology Office remained on standby to assist all users, all while balancing their own increased workloads and unexpected to-dos. One example was a virtual private network (VPN) that needed to be set up for off-site employees who needed to access the network during the stay-at-home order. Gerber remembers this was something Schwartz did one weekend, though he can’t remember exactly when. They all agree it’s a bit of a blur, and much of what they did stayed behind the scenes — though certainly not all of it. It was the Technology Office that created and assembled the 400 student “fatheads” that were placed inside the Chapel, appearing as a Chapel full of Pioneers.

These efforts were rewarding in their own way, but Gerber felt there was more they could do. After all, when you have a facility like the Wang Center, in the midst of a global pandemic when personal protective equipment (PPE) is in high demand and limited supply, you really can’t help but turn to the machinery, roll up your sleeves and get to work.

The assembly of 2,000 face shields required many hands. Colleagues, alumni, local students and friends of the school stepped up to help, including Science Chair and Director of Community Outreach and Global Engagement Wanda Boesch, Jimena Oliva ’22, Sergio Cordon, 32

Modern & Classical Languages faculty Dr. Ralf Borrmann, Max Borrmann ’16, Sophie Borrmann ’20, Walker Larivee ’20, Ryan Stifler ’15, Mail Room & General Maintenance Technician Rob Pollard, Assistant to the Director of Athletics & Afternoon Programs Holly McDonough, Max Fausknight ’13, Julia King ’19, Jojo Jordan ’18, and Fine & Performing Arts faculty Nick Mudd. All of them helped assemble and cut masks at various points, while safely distanced.

“I remember I began to see news stories about how to 3D-print masks,” Gerber shared. “You can really only do that if you have a 3D printer, and even then it’s a pretty inefficient process. Since it was getting so much traction, we began receiving inquiries about what the Wang Center was doing. There were some initial hurdles, like trying to get the right materials since the plastic was suddenly in high demand, but in the end, that just gave me the time I needed to figure out the best way to manufacture face shields.”

In the first round, 100 shields were donated to Cleveland Clinic Twinsburg Family Health and Surgery Center, another 70 were donated to the Hudson Fire/EMS Department and the remainder were donated to Summit County Public Health for distribution to first

responders and anyone else in need of the equipment.

But the need for this equipment never faltered, and Gerber found the demand growing in unexpected areas. As one example, he recalls when Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that dentist offices would be reopening. Prior to this, dentists had been told to give their PPE to physicians and other healthcare workers. Suddenly all dentist offices had a pressing need to replenish their PPE. How do you make a face shield? It’s a multistep process. First, you 3D-print a very small piece that’s later used as the bottom clip. Then you take high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic and, using a laser cutter, cut out pieces for head banding and the shield. The last pieces

you need are a strip of foam for the headband and an elastic band for the back, and then it’s time for assembly.

It might be easier to demonstrate in person, but the way Gerber describes it, you attach the face shield to the head banding, weave the elastic through set notches, affix the foam piece to the

alone (not including making the different pieces) was more than 66 hours of work.

It makes you wonder how they had the time and bandwidth to take this on.

“I think we all just understood that it was serving a need in the community,” said Gerber. “And WRA has a history of serving its community in hard times. I don’t want to compare this time to World War II, but I will say that during that time, the school was machining parts for the war effort.

This area has a history of reaching out in times of crisis and, really, it’s just what you do for the human experience. You take the time to help others out, to do work that benefits others, because it’s what it means to be a part of a community.”

for area health care workers should be honored. This innovative leadership directly played a role in keeping members of the community safe and healthy during a truly unprecedented time.

Compassionate and dedicated service such as this exemplifies the qualities of a truly outstanding organization committed to the community.

Not long after the start of the current school year, Fritz agreed to sit for the interview that would help put together this feature article, patiently answering questions about her and her team’s overloaded spring and summer. The makerspace was back to its noisy normal, with masked students in Gerber’s Digital Fabrication class wandering around, occasionally popping their heads into the office to ask all manner of questions, such as “Where is the induction tape?” and “Hey, how do I scan my face?”

The face-scanning, Fritz explained, was part of an ongoing lesson about subtractive manufacturing.

headband and attach the bottom clip to give the shield its curved shape. He says, once he got into a good rhythm, the assembly could take as little as two minutes.

In total, Gerber and his team made more than 2,000 face shields. After making donations to medical personnel and first responders, they provided the rest to friends, family and neighbors of the school. If you do the math, the assembly

Because of their work, State Treasurer of Ohio Robert Sprague commended WRA for its service to healthcare workers. The formal letter reads: It is with great pleasure that I, Robert Sprague, Ohio Treasurer, recognize Western Reserve Academy for its dedication to community service during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“They’re basically making molds, and those molds will eventually be used to make their own custom-shaped chocolate,” she said. “They start with a block of wax and take a positive of their object — in this case, a face — and cut that shape out of the wax. Then we’ll talk about molding, casting and the additive process. We use silicone, food-safe material and pour it into the mold, let it cure, producing a negative of their shape. You pour chocolate into that negative, let it harden, and then you have your own chocolate design. I personally think that if you’re doing all of that hard work, then you should be rewarded with chocolate.”

You could probably teach subtractive manufacturing in a way that doesn’t result in a chocolate replica of a student’s visage, but if we’ve learned one thing about the Technology Office, it’s that they don’t do things by halves and often the product of their work is better than you could have expected. Reserve certainly is a better place for having them here, ready to fix problems both big and small, and expertly prepare for whatever lies ahead.

Congratulations and thank you!

The Class of 1957 achieved 100% Annual Fund participation, an achievement that hasn't happened from any class with more than 20 members since the 1995-96 year. In that year, 40 members of the Class of 1946 celebrated their 50th Reunion with a milestone 100% participation gift. We send a virtual round of applause to Hub Bubb ’57, the esteemed Class Chair for 1957, whose humility, spirit and energy sparked excitement to achieve this accolade!

Remembering Olin Joseph Heestand Jr. ’62 1944-2020

E

verything about O.J. Heestand seemed to exude elegance: his achievements in the financial sector, his charity work, his deep bond with his wife, his two lovely daughters, the residences throughout his life in London, Tokyo, New York, Chicago and La Jolla. O.J. was a man of the world, a force in business and culture, yet there was still something about his manner that suggested he was accessible, even permeable. O.J.’s allure was exactly what he urged WRA to market as its most meaningful competitive advantage: Midwestern values. Kind yet bold, respectful but opinionated, strong but sincere, O.J. was like Ohio, a fascinating frontier shaped like a heart.

82

WRA

FALL 2020

O.J. often talked of being a small-town boy (from Findlay, Ohio) lucky to be given WRA’s window to the bigger world. Even before “global thinking” was in vogue, O.J. understood.

The bigger world wasn’t just about the places he would live and visit (ultimately retiring in order to “stop living on airplanes”), but about the ideas and opinions that were different or new to him. He praised faculty members Mrs. Roundy and Mrs. Waring for their “style, sensitivity and brains,” and remarked on how WRA taught a “sufficiently realistic view of the world while projecting an unworldly amount of optimism and idealism.”

Armed with both grounded practicality and the propulsion to soar, O.J. graduated from Reserve in 1962 and attended Northwestern University (BSBA, 1966) and Columbia University (MBA, 1968). He was Managing Director of the Swiss Bank Corporation (now UBS) and a partner of McKinsey & Company. O.J. was principal architect of UBS’s securities business. He was a member of the Management Committee and Chairman of the Marketing Committee, in which capacity he led the thrust to make marketing as strong as trading in a famously trading-oriented culture.

A member of WRA’s Board of Trustees since 1997, O.J. was the strongest voice at the table for marketing, as intuitive about consumers as he was passionate about all that made Reserve special. This intersection, his knowledge of the market and deep belief in the school’s mission, allowed him to lead discussions on matters of relevance, pricing and brand that predated these considerations at most other schools. In this way, O.J. was a pioneer.

O.J. also was passionate about equity in education, serving as

a Trustee, Treasurer of the Board of Trustees and co-Chair of WRA’s Board of Visitors while simultaneously serving on behalf of Youth Guidance, a provider of social services to the Chicago Public Schools.

simply, “We’re glad you’re here.”

But the key to his understanding of consumers was his understanding of relationships, and none were more important to him than his family and friends. The writer of this article knows O.J. from an absorbing file, which includes dozens of pieces of correspondence between him and WRA leadership, particularly former Headmaster Skip Flanagan and his wife, Britt. But this writer also knows him as the tough Trustee who once gave her a gentle tap on the shoulder (after years of notso-gentle critiques of her marketing work) and said,

But to read one’s correspondence, the old-fashioned art of the letter, is to have a special window into their character.

Skip and Britt, O.J. and Pati, their letters revealed that they were friends who went to dinners, helped each other, exchanged books and hosted parties to benefit the school.

The correspondence takes the reader back to an era of elegance that sometimes seems lost now, and to O.J.’s presence there as a central character.

As notable as his letters are the essays he wrote as a student.

The same optimism that he appreciated from his school, his school now appreciates from O.J. As a high school boy, he wrote, “The personal morals of Americans are rising.” In a world that is increasingly complex and daunting, may we find inspiration in O.J. Heestand for a belief in rising morals and an embrace of both humility and idealism.
