Together these two make a dynamic duo, guiding and leading current and future generations of students at the University of Akron and beyond.

However, the career paths R.J. and John took to get to this point of their careers are vastly different. After graduating from the University of Akron– School of Law, R.J. spent a few years practicing law until his 30th birthday when he decided to quit his job as an attorney to start Icon Sports Ohio is blessed to have a great deal of incredible institutions of higher education, many in the backyard of our Wyoga Lake campus. One of those is the University of Akron, known as the world's top university in Polymer Science and Plastics Engineering, and UA's College of Business is one of the top 1% of schools worldwide for degrees in Business and Accounting.

The beautiful campus located right in the heart of Akron is less than 10 miles from WJ, and it is led by two Warriors!

Management. “Many people in my life questioned that decision, but it worked out really well for me,” R.J. said. “I ended up owning the world's largest independently owned golf agency, which I later sold and continued to run for the parent company.” Through it all, he stayed in northeastern Ohio and applied to become the Dean of the College of Business.

John earned his undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati while co-oping at Proctor and Gamble. Learning

This past summer, 1986 WJ graduate, R.J. Nemer was named the school's nineteenth President, and his Executive Vice President and Provost is John Wiencek '79, who hired R.J. as Dean of the Business School a few years ago. During the interview process, they discovered that they both attended Walsh Jesuit High School. Since that time, the two have grown into good friends and confidants.

from those engineers and holding a job as a tutor inspired him to go for the PhD and become a professor. John progressed his way up the professor and administrative ranks to the highest level in the academic area when he served as Provost, a role he held on an interim basis at Virginia Commonwealth University, then at the University of Idaho in a permanent role, until the job at Akron. It was a perfect time for him to return home with his family.

“When someone proactively reaches into your life to help you, you know that you are truly doing God's work and helping you to do likewise,” John said of R.J. “We learned very early on that our different leadership strengths are quite complementary,” R.J. said, describing his admiration of John. “He has helped me acclimate into education as a career and navigate shared governance, which is an important aspect of leadership and the overall workings at UA and other institutions of this type.”

Looking into the future, both WJ alums are excited about the partnership WJ and UA have built, and as R.J. says, “There is nothing better than being a forever Warrior and a forever Zip.” They have some sound advice for all students as they continue their education journey beyond the halls of Walsh Jesuit. “No one institution is going to be the best fit for every student,” said R.J. “When I meet Walsh Warriors, or students from any high school, I tell them to make the college choice that works best

M ESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

How do you engineer an exceptional Jesuit School?

As Walsh Jesuit reaches the midway point of our 60th year, Warrior Paths considers the remarkable legacy of excellence lived through generations of mission-driven men and women for others who have each contributed to the design of this marvelous community.

Rooted in the Jesuit tradition of forming men and women for others, the core design principle of our mission compels us to not only cultivate academic excellence but a profound sense of social responsibility and ethical leadership in each of our students. Our Ignatian educational pedagogy, exemplified by the ‘graduate at graduation’ framework, ensures that each Walsh Jesuit student graduates with a strong mind and a heart to change the world. This holistic approach is the hallmark of a Jesuit education that results in mission-driven leaders like R.J. Nemer ’86 and John Wiencek ’79 who are making a transformational impact on higher learning here in Northeastern Ohio.

As we reflect on the year in passing, we also express deep gratitude to our generous friends and alumni who so faithfully invest in the grand design of a Walsh Jesuit education. Your unwavering support has ensured that each of our 934 students have access to the opportunities, courses, co-curriculars and resources that are essential to providing a holistic educational experience in the Jesuit spirit of cura personalis, the whole person. Thank You! In closing, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome and support that I have received from students, families, faculty, staff, alumni and friends since joining the Walsh community this past July. I am truly honored to serve as the 13th president of Walsh Jesuit and sincerely grateful for the opportunity to work alongside an extraordinary team of dedicated mission-driven colleagues. Together, we are engineering an exceptional institution poised to educate Men and Women for Others for another 60 years!

Of course, great designs cannot simply exist on paper – they must be brought to life by skilled professionals. At Walsh Jesuit, we are blessed with nearly 70 world-class faculty-members like Mr. Dave Burnside who challenge our students to use critical thinking skills and an entrepreneurial mindset to learn and solve problems. From classrooms like Mr. Burnside’s to Kairos retreat experiences to service and immersion trips, WJ teachers, campus ministers and coaches bring passion, expertise, and a deep commitment to the Jesuit ideals of education.

Extraordinary achievements by Walsh Jesuit alumni in the field of engineering are a powerful testament to the enduring value of a Jesuit education. From roads and bridges to groundbreaking technologies, Warrior Paths places a proud spotlight on several alumni who exemplify the Jesuit ideal of excellence.

PRINCIPAL'S M ESSAGE

The Importance of STEM in Jesuit Education In today’s rapidly evolving world, the importance of incorporating principles of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education into the framework of a Jesuit high school cannot be overstated. At Walsh Jesuit, the incorporation of STEM principles is not simply about designing complex machines or mastering formulas, it’s about forming individuals to be critical thinkers, innovative problem solvers, and altruistic leaders. Integrating STEM principles ensures that students are not only equipped with practical expertise and technical skills, but with an ability to reflect on the broader implications of their work, a consideration of how that work animates the Gospel message, and a commitment to living as “men and women for and with others” in service to God. STEM education at Walsh Jesuit has blossomed in recent years due to collaboration with other Jesuit high schools, the efforts of a dynamic educator on our faculty, and a commitment to infuse all aspects of the curriculum with STEM principles.

Aside from pre-existing courses and extracurricular activities that indirectly targeted STEM goals, explicit movement toward STEM principles resulted from conversations with colleagues at Brophy College Preparatory (Phoenix, AZ) and Creighton Preparatory School (Omaha NE), two Jesuit high schools that had recently moved in a similar curricular direction, highlighting the importance of curiosity, experimentation, and handson learning. This approach to “learn by doing” reflects the Jesuit concept of experiential learning as a pathway to deeper understanding and action. Dave Burnside, a veteran Physics and Computer Science teacher, volunteered to help craft the curriculum for an introductory, required Freshman-level course to introduce students to basic concepts of programming, circuitry, and 3-D fabrication utilizing an individual and team project format. Dave also used federal funding to design and equip our Center for Design & Innovation and helped create

upper-level elective coursework in our Business & Innovation Department to promote continued growth of our students in this area. Lastly, Walsh Jesuit focused its state accreditation self-improvement goals on increasing creativity and innovation across all content areas through project-driven learning to form our students’ as resilient, collaborative, and responsible learners.

STEM principles not only serve to guide our students’ learning in the present, but they have practical applications that reflect our mission and help shape students and our world for the future. By transforming classrooms into spaces where students are empowered to tackle real-world dilemmas, learning becomes less of a theoretical exercise and more an inspiration on how students can solve problems that impact communities at large. In nurturing an entrepreneurial spirit where learners receive confidence to take risks and resilience to learn from failure, classrooms offer a supportive environment to foster a mindset of lifelong curiosity and growth. By opening doors to fields that have historically lacked diversity, including gender diversity, schools help emphasize environments that are inclusive, that challenge stereotypes, and that encourage all students to excel in working for a more equitable society.

STEM principles serve as a natural fit and necessary complement to the holistic formation that defines Jesuit education. Moving forward, the blending of these approaches will help us better prepare students to become individuals of competence, conscience, and compassion as agents of change needed in our world today.

His “Design and Innovation 2” classes focus on one big idea for the entire semester. “Most students seem to enjoy the challenge,” said Mr. Burnside.

“It has been described as “hard fun” with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment on a completed fully functional project.”

Luckily for WJ, school leaders, along with Mr. Burnside had a vision of how important STEM education is in developing the next generation of engineers. He spearheaded the initiative that radically transformed how WJ educates our community.

Meeting the 21st century learning needs of our students. After 35 years in a traditional classroom, this challenge came along at just the right time and has rejuvenated Mr. Burnside.

“I have more energy and more excitement as I see what my students are doing! After a day of running around helping students troubleshoot problems and trying to keep machines operating smoothly, I am exhausted, but happy. Each generation has their opportunity to move society forward through engineering. We hope that with the mission of a Jesuit education, combined with a passion received through STEM work here, we are not only producing engineers but engineers with the purpose of helping others and solving global issues.”

Sing Its Praise Walsh Jesuit, alma mater, we raise our voice to thee; Thy cross and crown above us shine to guide us faithfully.

With a warrior's heart and spirit, and Heaven's grace untold, May we be worthy of thy mission, fit to wear the maroon and gold.

– Music & Lyrics by Zachary Gustafson '96

If you have ever attended a school mass, spirit rally, football game or countless other Walsh Jesuit events, you are sure to be moved by the enthusiasm and excitement of our Warrior students singing the alma mater. Each rendition is sung with the students embracing one another, swaying in unison and concludes with a loud and proud “fit to wear the maroon and gold” while fists pump in the air. It has become one of WJ's most cherished traditions thanks to 1996 alum Zachary Gustafson.

“As a student, it never made sense to me that we didn't have an alma mater,” said Zachary.

“But I was just a high school kid, so I chalked it up to 'well that's too bad' and forgot about it.”

However, when Zachary left our walls to attend the University of Notre Dame, that all changed. He became deeply into music and was moved, like all Irish students and alums, by the ND alma mater, “Notre Dame, Our Mother.”

In 2010, the idea of creating something similar

This value shapes everything here—from our academic programs to extracurricular activities and spiritual formation opportunities are all designed to form students who are committed to service and justice. At Walsh Jesuit, students are taught to seek knowledge not for personal gain but with an awareness of their responsibility to contribute to the greater good. Both inside and outside the classroom, students develop the critical thinking, compassion, and generosity needed to engage with a complex world while cultivating hearts that are selfless and committed to justice. At Walsh Jesuit, we believe that education of the whole

at Walsh Jesuit is not just an internal virtue; it is best expressed through action.

We are fortunate to have faculty and staff who exemplify the values we hope to instill in our students. Each year, students engage in service projects alongside our adults, working with the marginalized and underserved through longstanding programs like Immersion and Labre, or new initiatives like Sophomore Service at the Peter Maurin Center. These opportunities not only enable students to make a tangible difference but also allow them to learn from the compassion and dedication demonstrated by our adult community. In doing so, our faculty and staff model the leadership, service, and integrity we aspire our students to embody.

As we celebrate 60 years of Jesuit education, we are grateful for the continued support of our alumni, donors, and friends, whose generosity sustains and grows our mission. Their contributions enable us to continue providing transformative education—one that emphasizes generosity, service, and a deep commitment to

others. We are inspired by the ongoing work of our alumni, who live out Jesuit values in their personal and professional lives. Their service, grounded in justice and compassion, reflects the education they received here. The generosity of spirit shown by Walsh Jesuit alumni, donors, and supporters continues to strengthen our school and ensure that we can fulfill our mission of forming individuals who not only succeed but also serve.

Looking ahead, we are excited for the next 60 years of Walsh Jesuit, confident that we are preparing the next generation to be generous in all they do—whether in their careers, communities, or personal lives. "Lord, teach me to be generous" remains our prayer as we look to the future, confident that the spirit of generosity will continue to guide us as we serve God and others in the years to come.

What if I FLY? One 2006 alum is providing hope for Walsh Jesuit students who may not have had the opportunity to realize their dreams otherwise. Isaiah Shepard '06 created the “What If I Fly Scholarship Program” to assist financially needy, academically competitive students who are identified ethnically/ racially as African American/Black, and who are residents of Akron.

“I was intellectually advanced but due to a low socioeconomic status, I attended a school and lived in a neighborhood where resources were scarce,” said Mr. Shepard.

“Therefore, I was not receiving an acceptable education or opportunities that would set me up for success. I was noticed by a WJHS administrator in 8th grade and given an opportunity to attend Walsh Jesuit, instead of attending my neighborhood high school.

The exceptional education I received at Walsh Jesuit set the foundation that led to my successful collegiate career, logistical career, and business endeavors.”

That foundation led Mr. Shepard to a degree from Arkansas State University, and a successful career in the logistics industry and within Supply Chain for Amazon. com. “At the peak of my career, I managed a Transportation network for 63 locations in 7 states with 1400 employees. I've since transitioned away from my corporate career and a full-time entrepreneur in the Logistics and Technology space.”
