Friday, October 4, 2019 Old Orchard Golf Club

At Saint Viator High School, we embrace our responsibility to prepare young women and men for college while deepening their commitment to faith and service. This past school year, our students and alumni have been making a positive impact in the world, succeeding in athletics, serving in their communities, and sharing their God-given gifts with others.

We congratulate our 2019 graduates as our newest alumni, who are heading to top colleges to continue their studies. Looking back on the 2018-2019 school year, we also want to highlight a few notable achievements.

• • • •

Approximately one-third of seniors were named Illinois State Scholars 25 student-athletes committed to college athletics Four students achieved a perfect ACT score Students completed more than 35,000 service hours

This June, we held our 24th Annual Million Dollar Classic. It was great seeing many of you support student-athletes by participating in this annual golf outing, buying raffle tickets, as well as donating to athletics throughout the year. With the funds raised, we will continue to grow our Strength and Conditioning, training, prehab and rehab programs, all of which provide benefit and care for the whole student.

We also welcomed current and past parents and alumni for a gathering in Lake Geneva, which provided a wonderful opportunity to reconnect and share ideas about the ongoing sustainability and success of Saint Viator. The day included a session with The Lakota Group, a planning and design firm that is helping shape the future of the school’s campus to best reflect our goals, mission, vision, and values. In addition to meeting with the group in Lake Geneva, the firm has met with faculty, staff, students, and alumni—and soon, we’ll invite the Saint Viator community to complete an online survey.

For the immediate future, the school has planned campus improvements that will benefit many students for years to come. The Klues Family Innovation Center is set to launch this fall due in large part to generous benefactors. This Center will host technology and entrepreneurship classes with a design that invites student innovation and collaboration.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

God Bless and Go Lions!

Envisioning Change

Paul Lewis ’14 Leads Global Health Initiative at Harvard

W

hen Paul Lewis ’14 was admitted to Harvard in the spring of his senior year, he

pointed to his commitment to service as a strong factor in his acceptance. In particular, he credited his involvement with the nonprofit organization, EYEsee, whose mission is to provide eyeglasses to people in developing nations.

Now, as a Harvard graduate—Lewis holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard College, where he concentrated in Neurobiology with a secondary focus in Global Health and Health Policy—he remains committed to advancing global health.

He is the chief strategist and founder of Harvard College VISION, a Global Health Society that empowers youth to become civic-minded leaders for the future.

In April, Lewis and Harvard VISION hosted the third Global Health and Leadership Conference that paired high school teens with Harvard students to create projects that impact their communities.

For this year’s conference, he drew Paulina Piwowarczyk ’17 to help as a volunteer. She finished her second year at Harvard and rejoined Lewis after working with him on EYEsee at Saint Viator.

One of Lewis’ main goals for the conference is having Harvard faculty and students mentor high school students. This year’s group included 130 young people—from 68 high schools— including from Canada, China, Germany, Indonesia, and Japan.

Students heard presentations from Harvard professors as well as special guests and also sat in on presentations by students about their community-based projects.

“The program hopes to help students make a difference,” Lewis says, “and grow as civically minded leaders for the future.”

Lewis says his years at Saint Viator laid the foundation for his passion to promote global health and empower young people. Specifically, he points to the faith environment, sense of community, social justice, and lifelong learning that he was immersed in during high school.

“These are qualities that the teachers, classes, and environment at Saint Viator all possessed,” Lewis says.

Up next for this young leader is working as a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) clinician in Boston with one of his Harvard professors while he applies to medical school. n

The conference aims to enable students to go out and literally change the world. Br. Rob Robertson, CSV, who served as his guidance counselor for the Class of 2014, said he saw that in Lewis during his years at Saint Viator, with his leadership both in school and with EYEsee.

“There are lots of students who are academically talented,” Robertson says, “but these kinds of selective schools are looking for student leaders who have taken a project and run with it.

They want the whole package of a student who will serve their community in the future.”

Lewis organized this year’s conference after taking several months after his graduation to do a fellowship in Japan, where he shadowed physicians and gave talks on global health to schools and at conferences.

Commencement 2019 Saint Viator Graduates Are Already Making a Difference in the World Every day, members of the Class of 2019 walked by a mural with a quote taken from Philippians: “Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” During freshman orientation, they took ownership of the verse, adding their signatures to it. They walked past the Bible quote for the last time, before processing into graduation.

“The members of the Class of 2019 are well suited to ask God who they are being invited to be,” says Br. John Eustice, CSV, Vice President of Viatorian Identity and Mission. “They already are making a difference in the world around them, even as they continue to discover what the world around them needs.”

“I have no doubt the people they meet,” he added, “will encounter the gospel in action—through them.”

In all, 241 seniors graduated, including 33 international students, representing China, South Korea, India, and Russia. Fr. Daniel Hall, CSV, Provincial, celebrated the Baccalaureate Mass and was on hand for commencement.

At last count, they combined to draw nearly $320 million in scholarship offers and compiled more than 35,000 hours of service to the community over the last four years.

Graduates now head to 95 different colleges and universities, spread across the country. They range from the University of Notre Dame and Boston College to Auburn, Baylor and Clemson, the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, UCLA and the University of California at Berkeley, to name just a few.

Valedictorian, Maura Hogaboom • National Merit Scholar • Co-president of the Inter-Class Council with Daniel Thompson • Completed 674 hours of service over four years • East Suburban Catholic Conference scholar-athlete (cross country, soccer) Salutatorian, Patricia Miller • Outstanding achievement in social studies and theology • East Suburban Catholic Conference scholar in lacrosse Andrew Johnstone Award, Blaise Russo The Christopher Cup Award, Maura Hogaboom and Kevin Wilhite Forty-two alumni parents were on hand for the Class of 2019 Baccalaureate Mass and graduation ceremony to watch 34 legacy students graduate. ►

INCubatoredu—Final Pitch Night Entrepreneurship Students Take on Final Pitch Night Saint Viator Alumni Provided Mentoring and Support At the end of its first year, students in INCubatoredu made their final pitches to investors in a Shark Tank-style event. The year-long entrepreneurship class helped them take an idea for a product or service through development.

Their prospective start-ups included an interactive app that provides in-store coupons (Money Map), a charging device pad that will charge different platforms of phones or iPads (PowerMat), a sports bag that organizes equipment and valuables (DAC), as well as a therapeutic sleeve that provides a quicker recovery of sore muscles using electronic pulsations (S.O.R.E.).

After a night of presentations to an audience of family and Saint Viator community members, the final award was presented to PowerMat and S.O.R.E. for their innovative product ideas.

Mr. David Lyons says his students have exceeded all of his expectations. Through the valuable contributions of mentors, coaches, and sharks from the wider Saint Viator community, they have gone far beyond the traditional entrepreneurship class.

“Many students had no real business experience before this year,” Mr. Lyons said, “and they are now on the cusp of creating something that could possibly be their life’s work.”

While most schools now have some sort of entrepreneurship class that teaches the basics of how to write up a business plan, he doubts few go into as much detail as what INCubatoredu has given students, through its analysis of marketing, financial budgeting, and future funding.

“These students will have an advantage when they enter into college business schools,” Mr. Lyons adds, “because this program has laid the foundation for them.”

Mr. Lyons formerly taught entrepreneurship at York High School in Elmhurst. He worked all year with John Aiello ’86, who reached out to the alumni base to serve as coaches and mentors.

Aiello is the former founder, CEO and chairman of SAVO, a cloud-based software company, who after selling his company now teaches entrepreneurship at Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management.

“The best innovation ideas do not come from a desire to make money,” Aiello said at the outset, “but from a desire to solve a problem.”

Mr. Lyons adds that interest in INCubatoredu is growing.

“As of right now,” he says, “we have a 75 percent increase in enrollment for next year. Our students and our mentors are definitely helping to grow the program in the future.” n

Saint Viator Junior Lexi Covey Designs Swimwear Line to Benefit Charity While we often feature alumni who have created businesses, it’s not often that we get the chance to highlight a student business. Lexi Covey ’21, daughter of Board of Trustee member, F. Michael Covey, III ’90, has done just that and her business, Water Vibe Bikinis, lauched this past May. Her initial goal is to sell 1,000 suits and donate 15 percent of the proceeds to the Union League Boys & Girls Clubs. Her grandparents, Paula and Frank Covey, Jr., had long been supporters of the organization, and after they passed away Lexi wanted to honor them by her own charitable action. “The Catholic school community really helped me get more involved in service and helping others,” Covey said.

ALION FOR LIFE | Viatorians

Newest Viatorian Brother Makes Final Vows In the Alumni Memorial Chapel at Saint Viator High School and before a gathering of nearly 150 people, the Viatorian Community welcomed its latest religious brother, Br. Peter Lamick , CSV, ’07.

It was a Mass steeped in tradition, as Br. Peter made his perpetual vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, committing his life to the Viatorian Community and its mission.

“I ask to be a member of this congregation, for the glory of God and the service of the church,” Br. Peter said at the outset.

Fr. Dan Hall, CSV, Provincial, officiated at the celebration. He had played an important role in Br. Peter’s vocation as a teacher and coach at Saint Viator.

In giving his solemn blessing and consecration of Br. Peter as a professed religious, he urged him to go out and make a difference in the world.

“Peter, make it your focus to go out and wake up the world,” Fr. Hall said.

Br. Peter first met the Viatorians when he attended Saint Viator High School and graduated in 2007, before earning his undergraduate degree in history at Benedictine University in Lisle. He would go on to earn a master’s degree in education at DePaul University.

Over the past few years, Br. Peter has served at different Viatorian ministry sites, including pastoral work at parishes in the Bourbonnais/Kankakee region and the Henderson/Las Vegas area, as well as in Campus Ministry at Saint Viator High School, while working on peace and justice initiatives at St. Viator Parish in Chicago and at Viator House of Hospitality.

Most recently, Br. Peter has been teaching at Saint Viator High School, in its Scanlan Center, supporting students with college prep academics. Br. Peter also serves as head freshman football coach and as an assistant basketball coach, reflecting his own experience—and calling—at Saint Viator.

Fr. Hall added that not only had Br. Peter committed himself to the Viatorian Community for life, but that the community made the same promise to him.

“Peter, we promise to walk with you on this journey,” Fr. Hall said, “as you become a deeper member of the Viatorian Community.” n

Million Dollar Classic: Golf, Friends, and Athletics Each year, golfers at Saint Viator’s Million Dollar Classic take aim at enhancing the school’s athletic programs and empowering its student athletes. This year, they had a lot to celebrate, with the junior varsity hockey team winning a state championship, the varsity hockey team making an appearance in the final four, the girls’ basketball team winning their first-ever sectional championship, and the boys’ track team accumulating a few IHSA state championship qualifiers. And that only covers some of the many sports we have to offer here at Saint Viator.

Despite the unpredictable weather, guests at the 24th annual Million Dollar Classic enthusiastically mingled with the student athletes at the acclaimed Jack Nicklaus-designed course at The Club at Wynstone in North Barrington. This event would not be nearly as successful without presenting sponsors, Dan, JoAnn, Dan ’04, and Jim ’08 Murphy and Idealease.

“As a result of generous support, we have raised more than $2.5 million dollars for our athletic programs over the past 23 years. With those donations, we have seen many upgrades within our athletic department such as full-time trainers, world-class strength and conditioning programs, and the addition of indoor scoreboards for the Boler Center.

You and hundreds of other donors have made this possible and, for that, I can not thank you enough” said Saint Viator President Brian Liedlich.

The athletes chosen to address the crowd only underscored the outing’s success. Senior Athan Huelskamp spoke to golfers, just weeks after breaking a 14-year school record in the discus on his second-tolast throw at state.

Huelskamp described working with Saint Viator’s Strength and Conditioning coach, Alex Nadolna, in the Murphy Wellness Center — which has benefitted from Million Dollar Classic proceeds — and how they helped him become the athlete he is today.

In addition to a current student athlete speaker, there was also a young alumna speaking at this year’s Million Dollar Classic. Abby Dickey, a graduate from the Class of 2010, spoke about her story and how athletics has guided her through life.

Dickey said, “I played both golf and softball at Saint Viator. I had an awesome experience on both teams, and I learned a lot about myself throughout my time here. Even in high school, being highly involved in sports taught me time management, how to work with different personalities, and how to identify and lean on mentors.”

Funds raised from this year’s event will continue to support the conditioning initiative and athletic training program, including prehab and rehab programs. Join us for next year’s Million Dollar Classic on June 8, 2020, at The Club at Wynstone. n

Lake Geneva Gathering

Alumni and Parents Share Ideas Looking Toward Saint Viator’s Future On July 8, a group of alumni, current parents, and past parents gathered at the Geneva National Golf Club to share and discuss opportunities for the future of Saint Viator.

President Brian Liedlich provided updates on another outstanding year at the school, highlighting student successes, new initiatives, and progress toward strategic goals.

“This was a great opportunity for the Saint Viator family to get together and talk about how we can continue to thrive and innovate,” said Vice President of Development Tom Ramsden. “It was an ideal way to reconnect and enjoy time with long-time friends of the school.”

Fr. Charlie Bolser, CSV, had a message to share as well. He expressed his appreciation for everyone who remains involved with Saint Viator, and welcomed those who haven’t been at the school in a while to come home to visit and engage with Saint Viator.

“We hope to make the Lake Geneva meeting an annual tradition in the Saint Viator community,” said Ramsden.

Donor-Advised Funds

How do they benefit Saint Viator?

Think of a donor-advised fund (DAF) as a savings account for philanthropy. In many ways, they work the same as a 401k (a savings account for retirement), or a 529 account (a savings account for funding higher education costs). Like any of these savings accounts, they are designed to accumulate in value for the benefit of a future expenditure (or, in this case, donation).

Donor-advised funds are simple to open, provide a charitable tax deduction whenever money goes into the account, and are easy to grant/gift money to a favorite cause such as Saint Viator High School when the donor is ready.

Your financial advisor will know about DAFs and can help with establishing one for you. For more information on how DAFs can be used to benefit Saint Viator, please contact Tom Ramsden, Vice President of Development at tramsden@saintviator.com.
