INTRODUCTION A Gift is Truly Infinite What is the value of a gift?

• Is it the power to bring a smile?

• The expectation of a positive response?

• A simple transaction whose impact is fleeting?

P

erhaps it’s all of these; but in an environment like ours, the true value of a gift is so much more than the dollar amount or a feeling that lasts but a moment. At Wilbraham & Monson Academy, the value of a gift is limitless because it contributes to the educational development of young people who are the next generation of world leaders, entrepreneurs - and change agents who will shape the future for all of us. In this way, the value of a gift to WMA is infinite and rich with possibilities.

It is in this spirit that I am pleased to introduce to you the new Wilbraham & Monson Academy Giving Report. In creating this publication, we want to highlight the extraordinary generosity and commitment of so many who have brought us to where we are today. We want to showcase the depth and breadth of the alumni, parents and friends, whose investment is critical to our success. They inspire us and our students, and we hope by hearing their stories that they will inspire you to join them and invest in our mission.

It is fitting this inaugural issue profiles one of our most inspiring and generous alumni Mark Shenkman ’61M. Mr. Shenkman has not only given financially to support the Academy, but he has given so generously of his time. He has served on the Board of Trustees for more than 50 years! As you will see in the profile that follows, Mr. Shenkman’s leadership has had an enduring impact on our school and we are grateful for his long-standing commitment. I am sure his story will inspire you as it has inspired us and so many students who have been impacted by his generosity.

Voluntary support is a critical component of what makes the Academy program run and we wanted to create a standalone publication that not only highlights and acknowledges our donors, but one that shows the direct impact philanthropy can have on our students and our program. We recognize now more than ever, there are many organizations competing for your support; and we want you to see how we are using those resources and the seriousness with which we take the responsibility of being good stewards of your support. A budget is a reflection of the values of an organization, and you will see through a breakdown of sources and uses of our income how we exemplify the values of

“Live Clean. Speak True. Work Hard. Play Fair.”

As we face an unprecedented time in our country and our world, education has never been more important. Our mission here at the Academy has never been more important and it is only because of the generosity of our alumni, parents and friends that we are able to fulfill that mission and continue to provide a transformational experience to the young people who will change our world.

And so, what is the value of a gift? It is truly infinite.

BOARD MESSAGE WMA Means Something To Each of Us L

ike most other alumni of Wilbraham & Monson Academy, I did not understand or appreciate - as a student - the complexity of the school I attended. I went to class, did homework, played sports, gathered with friends and grew in the nurturing academic environment that has always defined WMA. I took for granted that whatever we needed would simply be there. Of course as an adult, I know it is the efforts of many hardworking people behind the scenes that accomplish this.

Twenty years as a WMA trustee - including 16 as Chair, have taught me something else - that behind the faculty and staff stands another group of equally dedicated people: our donors. The alumni, parents and friends who support the Academy provide the foundation on which everything else is built. At times our foundation has needed some repair; the Academy has faced its share of challenges over the years. But every time, our community of donors has risen to the challenge and carried WMA forward.

Today I am proud to tell you that the Academy is in a position of financial strength and flexibility, perhaps its strongest ever. Recent announcements of large bequests to the endowment, the completion of the Athenaeum, creation of the Design & Fabrication Space and the support of efforts undertaken to safely open school in the face of a global pandemic speak to the trust WMA donors have in us. They are investing in what we are doing and where we are going. I want to thank each and every person listed in this report for what they have done and continue to do for WMA. They are extraordinary and our students would not succeed without them.

To those who have not yet joined our community of donors, I ask, “If not now, when?” There is more to do, and every alumnus, parent and friend of WMA can make an impact. WMA means something to each of us. Honor that. Keep it strong.

Sincerely,

Scott B. Jacobs ’75 Chair, Board of Trustees

Celebrating 50 years on the WMA Board of Trustees

YEARS OF SERVICE

t was September 1958 when Mark Shenkman ’61M arrived as a student at Monson Academy.

“It had a very homey feeling,” Shenkman recalls of his first impressions of campus. “That’s why my parents picked the school. It had a feeling of home and every student was looked after as a parent would look after their own child.” Today, more than six decades after Shenkman’s first moments at Monson, and with a celebrated career as the founder and President of his company Shenkman Capital Management, Shenkman’s alma mater remains a significant part of his life and deeply close to his heart. In October 2019, a gala was held in Shenkman’s honor to recognize the contributions he and his wife, Rosalind, have made to the Academy; and earlier this year he received the prestigious CASE Seymour Preston Award for his exceptional commitment and leadership in developing voluntary support for Wilbraham & Monson. His visible contributions to campus include the Mark R. Shenkman Trading Center, the Tinkering Lab, the construction of the LaBrecque Academic Gate, a faculty residence and a house for the Office of Advancement. But through the years, Shenkman has also given generously and continuously something else: his time.

Shenkman, who last year celebrated 50 years on the Board of Trustees, first became a Monson Academy Board member in 1970. He was 26 years old at the time, with an undergraduate degree from the University of Connecticut, an MBA from The George Washington University, and two years active duty in the U.S. Army as a first lieutenant. In addition to his burgeoning finance career, Shenkman also had a strong interest in education and wanted to put his knowledge and judgment to use at an institution he cared about. Furthermore, he recalls, the Board at the time was mostly made up of older men — men who graduated from high school in the 1940s — and he felt it was time for some fresh blood. But there was another reason for his interest in joining the Board, something far more personal.

“There was one overriding factor that I felt made me want to give my time, attention and eventual money to [Monson Academy], and that was because in 1960 my mother was in a serious car accident in Monson — the brakes failed and she hit a moving freight train. She was critically injured. The school did everything they could to accommodate me,” Shenkman remembers. “They would assign a teacher to drive me to the hospital every day to visit my mother. They were so caring. She was in the hospital for several months. She recovered, but the school just couldn’t do enough for me or my father. They went far beyond what you would have expected from any school.”

Shenkman adds, “I always felt I wanted to repay the school for how they treated me during that six-month period when my mother was injured.”

Shenkman came to Monson Academy from his hometown of Pawtucket, Rhode Island. As Shenkman shared in the Commencement Address to the Wilbraham & Monson Academy Class of 2019, his parents sent him away to private school because the public school system in Pawtucket was plagued with strikes that often left students without a school to attend from April to June. Shenkman’s parents wanted to make sure their son got the best education possible, so they decided leaving Pawtucket was the way to make that happen. “In the 1950s, Jewish students were generally denied admission to many private schools,” Shenkman shared in the Commencement Address. “Wilbraham Academy & Monson Academy never had such quotas or discriminatory policies.”

School of Business

Shenkman’s years as a Monson student were formative. “My three closest friends today are from Monson Academy,” he says. He also notes that two of his greatest interests, which have shaped his life, were cultivated while at Monson. “Henry Benton (faculty member and Athletic Director) and George Morrow (Director of Studies) both encouraged my interest in the stock market,” Shenkman says. He also recalls the leniency of his English teacher, Samuel Hughes, who allowed Shenkman to change the topic of his senior thesis paper — meant to be written about Chaucer, Shakespeare or Keats — to instead be about the New York Stock Exchange. The caveat, as determined by Hughes, was that Shenkman had to visit the New York Stock Exchange in person and not solely conduct research from a book. “I told my father that, and he took me,” Shenkman recalls. “He was president of a public company and was able to get me on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange to meet the specialists and understand how trades were executed. I wrote my senior paper on the New York Stock Exchange and got an A+. (Hughes) wrote, ‘You’re destined for Wall Street.’”

Shenkman’s other great interest while a student at Monson was U.S. history. While he didn’t make his career as a historian, his vast collection of American history artifacts includes one of the nation’s first patents and a comprehensive collection of campaign flags for the elections spanning from 1840 to 1912. “The financial markets and American history are my two biggest passions still today, I have a business that invests in the international debt markets every day, and I have one of the largest collections of American history. Those two passions were fostered and encouraged at Monson.”

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

When Shenkman joined the Monson Academy Board of Trustees it was on the cusp of merging the two schools. The financial situation was difficult for both Wilbraham Academy and Monson Academy, and talks were underway for how to bring them together. “I was involved in the first meeting,” Shenkman says of the merger. Shenkman remembers those early years of Wilbraham & Monson as tumultuous, saying “I saw it from the Monson side,” he says. “They felt they lost their heritage, their campus, their identity and that made it a very tough merger. It was not smooth.” But, he adds, “It’s been now 50 years. Those memories fade.”

Current Head of School Brian P. Easler notes Shenkman’s institutional knowledge of Wilbraham & Monson is an invaluable asset. “In Shenkman’s office, he has a collection of notebooks with notes he’s taken from Board meetings over the last 50 years,” Easler says. “It’s like a written history of the school from a governance standpoint. It’s amazing.”

Easler also underscores the significance of Shenkman’s unprecedented longevity on the Board, stating

“He has stuck with us through really hard times when it probably would have been easier for him to bail.

When enrollment was down or fundraising wasn’t going well or the school was struggling, he never hesitated.”

Shenkman’s career and his time as a Wilbraham & Monson board member have existed on somewhat parallel tracks. The year 2019, his 49th year as a Board member, marked his 50th year on Wall Street.

Shenkman says he knew early on that his goal was to start his own company. “My father had a saying which was, ‘When it’s time to retire and go out to pasture, make sure you ownFACULTY the pasture,’” Shenkman STREET HOUSE • ACADEMIC GATE • SHENKMAN TRADING CENTER • TINKERIN says with a laugh. “I purposely designed my career to have all the foundational building blocksLABin• SHENKMAN ROTUNDA • CLOCK • EINSTEIN STA TRADING CENTER • TINKERING • CLOCK • EINSTEIN STATUE • ATHENAEUM • SHENKMAN HOUSE • HERITA place to build a great company.” Tracing his career, he was a research analyst ROTUNDA and portfolio manager at SHENKMAN HOUSE • HERITAGE COURTYARD • CAMPUS SIGNAGE • MALLEY HOUSE • SIGNAGE HOUSE • FACULTY Fidelity Management and Research from 1973 to 1979; then a co-manager and vice• MALLEY president of theSTREET HOUSE • ACADEMIC GATE • SHENKMAN ACADEMIC GATE • SHENKMAN TRADING CENTER • TINKERING LAB • SHENKMAN ROT High Yield Bond department at Lehman Brothers from 1979 to 1983; and then the President and Chief TINKERING LAB • SHENKMAN ROTUNDA • CLOCK • EINSTEIN STATUE • ATHENAEUM • STATUE • ATHENAEUM Investment Officer of First Investors Asset Management.

Shenkman has used that love for the Academy to help set Wilbraham & Monson apart and ensure a flourishing future. Easler notes, “Mark has been pushing us for 50 years to be worthy of investment.”

“You must have an edge,” Shenkman says of one of the considerations that went into financing the Trading Center on the Wilbraham & Monson campus, which when opened (2009) was the first of its kind on a high school campus.

ATHENAEUM OPENING

Marking a Milestone T

he Athenaeum was finished on schedule and under budget.

It was opened to students and the WMA Community at the start of the 2020-2021 academic year, and it has already made a dramatic and positive effect on daily life at WMA. Because the Athenaeum was fully funded by generous alumni, families and friends, we’re ready to head full steam into fundraising for the rest of the Campus Master Plan.

PROFILE ON GIVING The Jurgens

‘The Whole Person is Front & Center at WMA’

By Molly McGill Director of Alumni Relations

T

he Jurgens family, which includes parents Jim and Catherine, children Peter ’06 and Brigid ’08, has been supporting Wilbraham & Monson Academy through their volunteer efforts and philanthropy for 17 straight years, since Peter first entered as a freshman in 2003. Peter and Brigid came to WMA as part of the Bicentennial Scholars program, which was established in the 2002-2003 school year (during the school’s Bicentennial celebration) as an attractor program to award significant scholarships to a small number of incoming students interested in global studies. That program evolved into the current Global Scholars program, which focuses on honoring the achievements of currently enrolled students and provides funds for travel experiences through WMA. As Bicentennial Scholars, Peter and Brigid recall the travel opportunities being major highlights of their WMA experiences. Peter traveled to Belgium, where he remembers being able to visit the European Union during the debate over accepting Turkey as a member country. Brigid visited Greece, Italy and Taiwan and calls her trip to Taiwan in the summer of 2008 one of her most memorable experiences at WMA. As a Wilbraham resident, Peter remembers driving by the “regal” campus on Main Street and was excited to experience the campus as a student. At the time, Catherine worked in WMA’s Health Services Office. Some of his fondest memories are of attending school meetings in the Alumni Memorial Chapel. School meetings were “dynamic, lively and where I felt the feeling of community was most visible. Everyone was attentive and actively present at Chapel, and it’s where you would see all aspects of campus life.” He recalls especially enjoying theater and music performances during meetings, which he would rarely have a chance to catch otherwise due to his busy schedule with cross country.

Brigid was a member of the varsity lacrosse, field hockey and swim teams. “Some of our fondest memories are of watching our kids and their friends play sports on campus,” recalls Jim. Another athletic pursuit the family enjoyed was the Bunion Derby. “It’s maybe a silly tradition, but it brings the school together and is one of the small things that makes WMA special. It’s kind of like how the third Monday of April is always the Boston Marathon … we know when it’s Bunion Derby time at WMA. Catherine and I would always go by and see what was going on” says Jim.

Along with attending games and community events, as WMA parents, Jim and Catherine Jurgens also volunteered to assist with fundraising and worked often with former Head of School Rodney LaBrecque in efforts to increase participation in the annual fund. “Rodney had a good vision and did a lot to bring the school forward into the 21st century. He was driven to see the school succeed, balancing tradition with future-looking view, WMA was ahead in terms of globalism,” Jim recalls. In continuing their own philanthropic support, even after their children graduated, Jim and Catherine Jurgens cite a desire to support the strength of the WMA curriculum. “It’s a classical liberal arts New England prep school but with a forward-looking outlook, advocating for students to have a well-rounded life. Now involved in local town politics, Jim also notes the Academy maintains a nice connection to the local community. “With the traditional New England campus atmosphere, WMA makes the town of Wilbraham what it is,” he says.

“Every dollar that’s given has a direct impact on the school. All you need to do is walk around campus and see what’s going on to see where your money is going. It’s pretty transparent and clear that the money is helping improve WMA and enabling students to afford to be there.” - Jim Jurgens

From left: Jim Jurgens, Catherine Jurgens, Colleen Jurgens, Peter Jurgens ’06, Brigid Jurgens ’08 and James Jurgens.

Maintaining the focus on a well-rounded education and a strong community spirit are also what compels Peter to continue his involvement and support as an alumnus. “The theme of the whole person is front and center at WMA. There is a place for everyone, and the mix of people made you curious and ignited your desire to learn,” says Peter.

All members of the family donate to the annual fund.

Peter notes, “I don’t really concern myself with exactly where my donation is going. The school has demonstrated a smart use of resources in my mind. As long as (the administration) continues to answer the question of ‘what’s best for the community?’ I'm happy to support.” When asked what message he would share with his fellow alumni, Peter had this to say about the impact of alumni support: “Look at the alumni (business owners, creative artists, entrepreneurs) that WMA has spawned. Look at the great potential that we’ve put into our students and the influence of the alumni community. WMA has launched people around the world. Donate to give a chance to our community to continue to thrive.”

PROFILE ON GIVING The Balickis

Playing it Forward

Greg and Ali (Mapplethorpe) Balicki ’07 after the New England Boys’ Soccer championship in 2006.

By Molly McGill Director of Alumni Relations

S

occer brought both Greg Balicki ’07 and Ali (Mapplethorpe) Balicki ’07 to Wilbraham & Monson Academy. Thirteen years after graduation, the connections made at WMA and the lessons learned on and off the field inspire them to give back to the Academy. “This school changed both of our lives – bringing us together, helping us form lifelong friendships and opening up possibilities to advance academically – and it’s important to both of us that we pay that experience forward,” Mr. Balicki said.

When Mr. Balicki’s brother Rob Balicki ’04 met with former Boys’ Soccer Coach Gary Cook regarding a postgraduate year, his parents decided the athletic and academic program would benefit him as well.

Mrs. Balicki’s friend Courtney Petrone ’07 encouraged her to shadow at the school and meet (former Girls’ Soccer Coach) Don Nicholson ’79. With her parents’ encouragement, she quickly enrolled for her junior year. The Balickis have fond memories of their time playing soccer at WMA, with each serving as a co-captain of their respective teams during their senior years. “My freshman season was especially memorable because it was the last season I was able to play alongside my brother. And of course, winning the New England Championship my senior year is something I’ll never forget,” said Mr. Balicki, who attended WMA for four years.

For her part, Mrs. Balicki enjoyed meeting lifelong friends at WMA, serving as vice president of her class and cheering on Mr. Balicki and the team during their championship season by making T-shirts and painting faces with friends on the girls’ soccer squad. “WMA is not just a high school, it’s a community,’’ said Mrs. Balicki. “It is a true melting pot of cultures, backgrounds and walks of life with a group of teachers and staff truly dedicated to your academic and societal betterment.”

12

THE GIVING REPORT 2019-2020

The Balickis have praised the impact that Coach Cook had on them as students. Mr. Balicki said, “He is the reason I ended up at WMA, and helped mold and direct me into not just a better player and student, but a better person.” Mrs. Balicki also credits current English Department Chair Meg Lenihan Hutcheson with instilling in her a love for English, literary analysis and writing that ultimately shaped her college major and career path. She received a bachelor’s degree in English from Providence College in 2011 and now works as a senior manager at Highwire PR, a technology public relations agency.

Mr. Balicki graduated from the University of Rhode Island in 2011, where he studied Turf & Turfgrass Management. He is now the owner/operator of Balicki Property Management based in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. In addition to their professional accomplishments, the two have had a busy couple of years in their personal lives. They were engaged - on campus, in front of their Senior Stones - in November 2018 and married a year later, with many WMA friends and faculty in attendance.

In deciding to support WMA financially, the Balickis hope to continue the Academy’s legacy of nurturing student-athletes. “We both appreciate the value and impact that soccer and athletic programs, in general, have had on our lives – from understanding the importance of teamwork and communication, to fostering leadership skills and self-discipline,’’ Mrs. Balicki said.

“We hope that our small contribution will help WMA continue its legacy in athletic programs that teach student-athletes these important lessons and skills.”

PARENTS ASSOCIATION ‘Our support as parents is critical’

I

hope this message finds you well and you have started the new calendar year with great success and enthusiasm. I want to welcome you all to a new chapter for the Parents Association. Social distancing and safety measures, taken for good reason, have created some obstacles for us; but I believe, due to the efforts of all in our community, our families are positioned for a positive and productive new year. When we began the 2020-2021 academic year, we were faced with unusual times, dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic that impacted not only the WMA community but the entire world. The PA faced new challenges, but we continue to capture the Titan spirit that helps make WMA such a special and exceptional place.

This year more than ever, I am proud to be part of the WMA community. Head of School Brian Easler, together with the staff and faculty, worked tirelessly to put a powerful strategy in place to allow our children to return to class so they could achieve their goals. I commend the entire WMA faculty and staff for creating a healthy and safe community environment. As parents, we all have put measures in place for our families to remain safe and healthy. As we continue our efforts, we feel confident our students will be equally as safe on campus!

We have heard many times, from many corners, a return to normal is not quite imminent and this certainly remains the case on campus. The PA is in a unique situation to try to foster the bonds that unite our community together as one school family. Our support as parents is critical to the continued growth of our campus community. I have been enthusiastic about working with all parents, in whatever way possible.

Our paths to WMA may be different, but our goals remain the same - to provide the best possible educational opportunities for our children. This is possible when we have a strong relationship between parents and the Academy. We want to boost the educational experience of our children by building an energetic WMA community. As we work to get back to the traditions we’ve come to expect throughout the academic year, we have organized parent information sessions (via Zoom, for now) to keep you informed and carry out the work of the Parents Association. Please join us to share your thoughts and insights.

Sincerely,

Regina Zebrowski P’22 President, WMA Parents Association

Parent Giving

he 2019-2020 school year was a year of two halves for all of us, and that was certainly the case for the Parents Association. Despite the shift to not being able to see each other in person for the final months of the year, it was still an active and successful year for the PA. The mission of the Parents Association is to create a partnership between parents and the Academy that enhances the students' educational experience, and this partnership was on full display throughout this extraordinary year.

During the first half of the year, our parent volunteers were highly visible - volunteering for Grandparents & VIP Day, serving as hosts and guides at Family Weekend, decorating campus at the Holiday Social and supporting WMA Admissions by speaking with prospective families and serving as parent ambassadors at our open houses.

The enthusiasm and high level of engagement had us excited about what was ahead in the second half of the year.

Unfortunately, the pandemic forced all of us to pivot and reimagine our engagement activities for the spring. While we were unable to have many of the traditional year-end, in-person events, the parents helped us create an online presence through information sessions on Zoom. These events were essential in supporting the WMA community spirit and our ability to offer a place where all students can thrive. Throughout the spring, your continued support of WMA and our students was exceptional. Thank you again for sharing your valuable time in these endeavors.

Voluntary donations are a vital part of the operating budget for the Academy, and the parents were an integral part of our annual fund efforts this year. The response to the creation of the Community Fund exceeded our expectations.

Many parents chose to donate their refunded tuition dollars back to the Academy, which provided valuable resources for our preparations against COVID-19. This generosity allowed us to provide increased financial aid to support families impacted by the pandemic, provide personal protective equipment to staff and students, and testing for the entire community. All of these measures were essential to ensuring that your student has not only a rich academic experience, but a safe and supportive community where they can learn during this tumultuous time.

We are deeply grateful you were there to help support this initiative.

On behalf of the Parents Association, we would like to extend a very special thanks to the parents from the Class of 2020. During your years at WMA, you have shared your time and resources throughout the WMA community.

We are so proud of your students' accomplishments and can't wait to see where life takes them. When the world is able to fully open once again, you can bet we look forward to welcoming these alumni and their families back to campus for a proper send off!

As we look back on an exceptionally difficult year, we recognize that this crisis has highlighted the essential need for the support of our parent community. We are so appreciative for your commitment to our educational mission and to your continuing efforts to strengthen the partnership we share in educating your children. Thank you for being a part of the WMA family, and we look forward to seeing you all again safely very soon.

Kellie Molander Director of Parent Programs Office of Advancement

PARENT LEADERSHIP COUNCIL The WMA Parent Leadership Council was created in the spring of 2019 to bring together those parents who have demonstrated through their philanthropy and volunteer leadership that they are fully invested in the WMA experience. The group meets regularly with Head of School Brian P. Easler to share their perspective, and offer counsel and insight on the programs and facilities at the Academy.

Prior to the pandemic, the PLC received a preopening tour of our newest building, the Athenaeum. The Council also provided feedback on the proposed renovation of the basement floor of Mattern Science Building to create a new Design & Fabrication Space. These conversations have not only provided valuable feedback for us, but they have strengthened the parent/school partnership and have begun to build parent philanthropy to ensure the highest quality education is available for all of our students.

NAMED SCHOLARSHIP The Parker Hodgman ’55M Memorial Scholarship

By Sean Valentine Director of Stewardship & Donor Relations

K

eeping a Wilbraham & Monson Academy education attainable is a primary goal of the Academy.

WMA awards an average of $4 million in aid each academic year, supporting 47 percent of the student body. Contributing toward our financial aid program is one of the most important ways you can impact a student’s life. It can also provide an opportunity to honor someone important in your own life. While gifts of any amount can be designated toward financial aid, and any gift - regardless of designation - can be made in honor or memory of someone, our Named Scholarship program allows for the creation of endowed scholarship funds to provide support year after year. Some of the 25 scholarships making up the program are named for past teachers and staff, while others have been created to honor family members and alumni.

The late Parker Hodgman ’55M and Betty Lou Hodgman, right.

A wonderful example is Parker Hodgman ’55M, who was an enthusiastic alumni volunteer, reunion planning team member, Alumni Director (1992-1993), class agent and financial supporter. Mr. Hodgman never missed a chance to give back to WMA. When he died in 2014, his family honored him by creating the Parker Hodgman ’55M Memorial Scholarship. Betty Lou Hodgman, Mr. Hodgman’s wife, knew it would be something he would like. “Parker lived and breathed this place,” she said.

Connected to WMA in her own right, Mrs. Hodgman attended dances at both academies as a student at Classical High School in Springfield and volunteered in the alumni office during Mr. Hodgman’s tenure, not to mention numerous friends made through her husband. She has enjoyed meeting and connecting with students who have benefitted from the scholarship thus far: Brian T. Kennedy ’15, Ashley M. Bradway ’18, and Betelihem G. Stevens ’20. “It is such a family feeling at WMA,” she said.

“It’s not a place that is cold or unfamiliar. It’s a connection to people and history that you just don’t get other places. To know exactly who is benefiting from Parker’s scholarship is wonderful.”

The newest Hodgman Memorial Scholar is Emily C. DeNucci ’24. Miss DeNucci is an accomplished flutist, all-around excellent student and has the same qualities that defined Mr. Hodgman - strong character, love of WMA and a desire to make the world a better place.

ALUMNI BEQUEST Dr. Symin Charpentier ’07

‘I found a way to thank WMA with a gift’

By Nicholas Stafford Director of Leadership & Planned Giving

D

r. Symin Charpentier ’07 recognizes the impact the Academy had on his life and gives back annually. As the youngest member of the Heritage Society - which recognizes individuals who have included WMA in their estate plan – he has also shown he understands of the importance of paying it forward for future generations.

A former Navy Lieutenant in the Medical Service Corps, current pharmacist at the VA Boston Healthcare System and in his final year at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, Dr. Charpentier credits his college and career readiness to his years at WMA.

“It was the independence, structure and discipline I received at WMA, which helped me throughout my undergraduate days,” Dr. Charpentier said. “Those soft and formative skills, hard values are what I use with the hospital's patients on my day to day.”

Dr. Charpentier even remembers his first gift to WMA. “I was a college freshman with not much money, but I found a way to thank WMA with a gift.”

A native of Holyoke, Massachusetts, his WMA journey began when his family was introduced to the Academy by a close family friend, and former faculty member, Lori Chesky. Mrs. Chesky, who died in 2018, talked his parents into touring the Academy. Dr. Charpentier remembered Mrs. Chesky saying, “it would be great for Symin.’’ Shortly after their tour of campus, his parents enrolled him into the WMA Middle School for Grade 8.

During the next five years, Dr. Charpentier did well. He enjoyed being in the classroom, making friends and playing sports, especially running cross country and playing tennis. Dr. Charpentier’s father, Richard Charpentier, a former tennis pro, became the Head Coach of the Varsity Boys’ Tennis team. “It was great having my dad coaching me,” he said. Although Dr. Charpentier does not play tennis much now, he still runs with the passion that began from his WMA cross country days.

Dr. Charpentier strongly encourages other alumni to consider a planned gift when deciding how they can support WMA. For more information on how you can structure a planned gift like Dr. Charpentier, please contact Nicholas Stafford, Director of Leadership and Planned Giving, at nstafford@wma.us.

THE GIVING REPORT 2019-2020

ON THE HORIZON Dr. Kathleen Gorski's STEM dream starting to bloom

By T. Mark Aimone Director of Advancement

J

ust as education itself is a process of evolving and growing, our program and facilities continue to grow and develop as we keep moving forward with our Campus Master Plan. On the immediate horizon is the renovation of the lower level of the Mattern Science Building into a new state-of-the-art Design & Fabrication Space.

The 4,800-square-foot lab will house a digital printing, cutting and fabrication area including various types of 3D printers, 3D scanner and a laser cutter, a machine shop with a manual lathe and mill and a CNC lathe and CNC mini-mill, a well-equipped wood and composite shop, two robotics bays with computer-aided design and programming stations, and a design studio for fashion, textiles and photography. These enhancements will allow students to create everything from robots and submersible vehicles to sculptures and art installations. It will be the type of lab space usually seen only at the collegiate level and unmatched by any other secondary school in our region.

This initiative really began back in 2008 when Dr. Kathleen Gorski joined the faculty at WMA. Doc Gorski, as we referred to her, brought the vision for STEM education and developed the program in her classroom, which became our Innovation Lab. Sadly, Doc Gorski died in 2018 after a long battle with cancer; but her vision for STEM education at WMA will live on in this new space.

The design and construction for the space began early in 2020 and was planned to be operational in the fall for the 2020-2021 school year. Like many things, the pandemic forced us to change plans. Fortunately, and thanks to the generosity of a few donors who enthusiastically supported the development of this facility and program, we did not have to fully suspend the project. Instead, the renovations of the space moved forward and it provided us with three new, socially distanced teaching spaces, as well as valuable indoor space for afternoon activities.

With the renovation of the space complete, we can focus on the second phase of the project - purchasing the equipment and materials to outfit the area. It is our hope that as soon as we are able to return to normal classrooms, we will be able to install the equipment and fully realize Doc Gorski’s vision for STEM education at WMA. Fundraising efforts for this initiative are underway. Our aim is to fund not only the equipment but also to create an endowed fund that would generate the necessary revenue to cover annual costs for consumable materials, maintenance and future upgrades. Any designated funds raised over the project cost will go into this endowed fund. We think Doc Gorski would be pleased!
