            Welcome to I BT!
          
    The bright lights and soaring skyscrapers of the Big Apple set the stage for 2024 Gala Weekend where we celebrate the passion, ambition, and compassion of the BT community. We embrace the spirit of New York City - like the artists and innovators who have left their mark on its legendary streets, our students are unafraid to boldly express themselves and explore uncharted territory. They draw inspiration from a community that champions individuality and encourages them to make their voices heard.
          It is my distinct honor to recognize Lori and David, ’81, Scott as this year’s Honorary Chairs. Together, Lori and David embody the spirit of service, generosity, and an enduring belief in the transformative power of education. Their contributions have had a profound and lasting impact on BT, paving the way for generations of students to pursue their dreams with confidence and determination. Please join me in expressing our deepest gratitude to Lori and David for their exceptional leadership, vision, and devotion to BT. They are truly deserving of this honor.
          This unforgettable gala was brought to life through the remarkable efforts of the Gala Steering Committee, led by the visionary duo of Rhonda and Jeff Bishop and Valerie and Casey Garrigan. My deepest gratitude extends to the committee, volunteers, and BT staff who have poured their energy into making this weekend a resounding success.
          Join me tonight, under the lights of the big city, where dreams take flight and ambition knows no bounds. Together, we celebrate the incredible potential of our students and the extraordinary individuals who guide them. Every bid, every raised paddle, directly empowers the young minds and dedicated educators of Brownell Talbot. Thank you for your generosity and for joining us on this exhilarating trip to the city that never sleeps!
          Sincerely,
          Kristi N. Gibbs, Ed.D. Head of School

            Honorary Chairs Lori and David, ’81, Scott
          
    Brownell Talbot is honored to recognize Lori and David, ’81, Scott as this year’s Honorary Chairs. The Scott family’s connection to BT spans decades, characterized by an unwavering commitment to supporting our faculty, staff, programs, and initiatives that uphold educational excellence.
          David’s dedication began as a BT student and extended to serving as the first alumni president of the Board of Trustees for an impressive 10-year tenure. Lori’s involvement is equally steadfast, actively serving on the Board of Trustees for the past 13 years. Together, they chaired Gala in 2009, and David continues his leadership as chair of the Brownell Talbot Foundation Board.
          Beyond BT, Lori dedicated over 20 years to the nonprofit sector, notably supporting youth and adults with disabilities. David, the president and CEO of Tetrad Corporation, has lent his expertise to several public and private boards while actively participating in numerous civic organizations within our community.
          Throughout their children’s educational journeys at BTMadison, ’18, Kaitlyn, ’21, and Dylan, ’23, - the Scotts have embodied the “all in for BT” spirit. Their generosity of time, resources, and genuine care for our school community is an inspiration.
          Please join us in expressing profound gratitude to Lori and David Scott for their exceptional leadership and enduring commitment to Brownell Talbot.

    It’s been an incredible honor to serve as Gala Chairs for I BT! From meetings to brainstorm sessions to event logistics and more, we have loved being a part of all the facets that bring a Brownell Talbot Gala to life.
          We are grateful to the creative and hard-working parents and friends who make up our amazing Gala Steering Committee and for the tireless efforts of our faculty and staff - thank you for sharing your time and talents with us! It’s also been a great privilege to have Lori and David, ’81, Scott as Honorary Chairs this year. We are humbled by the Scott family’s dedication and passion for BT.
          I BT is a tribute to everyone in the BT community and their contributions to creating a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages students to take risks, explore new opportunities, and collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We look forward to a gala weekend filled with love, Raider pride, and the spirit of giving!

            What I Learned from BT Robotics
          "BT Robotics gave me the opportunity to get a hands-on experience of engineering. I learned how to problem solve and to keep an open mind for ideas from my teammates. Even today, I use my problem solving skills to resolve manufacturing issues on submarines."
          LINDON LIU ’16
          Mechanical Engineering, Northwestern University
          "The robotics program at BT gave me an opportunity to explore my passions for engineering, taught me how to approach problems analytically, and gave me the confidence to major in engineering in college and pursue an engineering career."
          JOSH RANDOLPH ’22
          Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
          "Robotics taught me so much about working on a team, time management, and problem solving.
          All of these skills have been very helpful during college and internships. I made some of my closest friends through robotics, and many of my favorite memories of BT were at robotics competitions. BT robotics is the best!"

    "If I were to sum up my experience in robotics, I would say that it was by far my favorite activity that I did in high school and that the skills that I developed through it were more than just engineering principles. I learned how to plan, be part of a team, and communicate: three skills which would be sorely lacking were I to have missed out on that experience."
          CHRIS SCHINZEL ’22
          Pre-med, University of Nebraska, Omaha
          "Participating in Brownell Talbot's VEX Robotics program was the transformative spark that ignited my passion for innovation and engineering. When I look back, I realize that the countless hours tinkering and brainstorming in the robotics lab not only shaped my skills but molded my dreams, propelling me into the limitless expanse of possibility. Thank you, Brownell Talbot. Thank you, VEX Robotics."
          CIARAN ROCHLING ’20
          Mechanical Engineering; University of Colorado, Boulder
          Robotics was one of my favorite activities at BT The excitement of having a new game to try and solve every year with my team was one of the highlights of every year. It was also my first taste of programming which I continue to do now.

          REID RISE ’15
          Computer Engineering, University of Nebraska, Omaha
          "Robotics was a great opportunity to get hands-on experience in different fields of engineering and it taught me so many skills that I rely on today! Whether it was collaborating in a team, learning how to continuously improve my work, or interviewing at competitions. I am currently able to tackle large-scale projects because of robotics."

            “Untitled” Dango by Jun Kaneko
          
    AVAILABLE DURING THE LIVE AUCTION ON FRIDAY, MAY 10
          “Untitled” is a hand-built and glazed ceramic measuring 32.75”h x 20.25”w x 14.25”d.
          This orange and red dango would look stunning in any collector's home. Includes a collection of artist-signed publications and a private tour of Jun Kaneko Studios.
          Jun Kaneko, born in Nagoya, Japan has pursued a dynamic studio practice since studying in Los Angeles in the 1960s under Peter Voulkos and other ceramicists associated with the California Clay Movement. A pioneer in the field of monumental ceramics, Kaneko’s work is currently housed in nearly eighty museum collections throughout the world. Over his career, Kaneko has become increasingly drawn to installations that promote civic interaction, completing over seventy public art commissions. Kaneko established his studio in Omaha in 1986 and there continues to explore his seemingly boundless creative and artistic vision. In 1998, he and his wife Ree founded KANEKO, a non-profit cultural organization that hosts unique educational programs and exhibitions in turn-of-the-century warehouses in the Old Market District of Omaha.
