Collegiate Reopens and Thrives Through COVID-19 Pandemic

REPORT ON PHILANTHROPY 2019 -20


A Note ABOUT THIS ISSUE Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Collegiate has continued to thrive as a healthy, joyful learning community. One key to our success has been keeping our community informed and engaged through the evolving situation of COVID-19. That work has taken top priority — and time that our communications staff would usually have spent producing Spark. So, in lieu of two issues this school year, we offer this combined fall and spring issue as a special tribute to our community’s accomplishment. While reflecting on our good fortune, we are mindful of and deeply saddened about the great losses of life, experiences and hardships of so many, both near and far. Tending to social emotional needs is a part of our mission delivery, and we will continue to harness empathy and promote responsible citizenship in action. We look forward to giving special honor to the remarkable Class of 2021 through various forthcoming celebrations and in our summer Spark issue. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy this Spark as an opportunity to reflect and connect. Throughout these pages, you will see QR codes to scan with your smartphone’s camera to access additional online content, the creation of which has been one of the silver linings of these times. As always, we value your input. Please let us know what you think and share your updates by contacting spark@collegiate-va.org.

ON CAMPUS Summer Professional Development

C

ollegiate committed significant resources to both instructional technology and professional development for our JK-12th Grade teachers. To support the

developmentally appropriate use of instructional technology, JK-12 classrooms feature audio-visual

equipment and other relevant technologies that allow teachers to engage students, and enhance and extend learning goals in a hybrid learning environment.

The School also purchased iPads for one-to-one use by all JK and

Kindergarten students for the 2020-21 school year. Collegiate teachers participated in professional development

opportunities throughout the summer to prepare them for the demands of the upcoming school year:

• All JK-12th Grade teachers participated in divisional professional development and curriculum planning during the first week of June.

• During the summer, our teachers enrolled in online classes through the Global Online Academy, an internationally recognized organization that provides teachers access to the latest resources and research regarding best instructional practices.

• Many Collegiate teachers also participated in additional professional development through both the Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS) and Harvard’s Project Zero online teacher programs.

• Teachers returned to school in August for two weeks of on-campus professional development and safety training, and to prepare for the new school year.

Reimagining 2020-21 THROUGH THE HAMILL FAMILY ENDOWMENT

2020 SUMMER GRANTS ALUMNI GRANT FOR FACULTY EXCELLENCE Sarah Aman continued her certification in the Kodaly music education method by taking an online class through New York University. Tara Connor, Karen Cribbs, Christy Foster and Pam Privasky created an online summer resource for Middle School students to provide practice and reinforcement of skills that align with Collegiate’s math curriculum. Wesley Hedgepeth worked on integrating civic engagement and service learning into his AP Comparative Government and Politics curriculum, and attended the Do Good Conference 2020 virtually in July. Sandra Marr collaborated on a climate-change citizen-science teaching module for interactive use by students and teachers from middle school through college levels. Wendi Moss worked to restructure Envision Richmond to maximize time and resources.

ARTHUR BRINKLEY GRANT FOR FACULTY EXCELLENCE Kate Featherston and Susie Leahy redesigned the Watt Library website to help it further enhance the learning environment of the Lower School.

CLASS OF 1974 ENDOWMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDIES None this year due to no international travel.

JULIA A. WILLIAMS FUND FOR FACULTY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Kristine Chiodo developed lessons, activities and assessments for the two new Upper School computer science courses: Programming for Mobile Devices and Advanced Programming in Java.

Instead of three rising stars receiving a two-year award from the Hamill Family Endowment, this year, all teachers at Collegiate were given the support of new professional development opportunities to hone their craft through the Global Online Academy. “In 2016, Susan and Bill Hamill and their daughters established the Hamill Family Endowment to encourage and support continuation of the successful teacher-coach-mentor model at Collegiate,” says Kristen Williams, Chief Development Officer. The couple are parents to alumnae, Blake Nichols ’98 and Carter Backus ’01, and grandparents to current Collegiate students Bryson ’31, Beau ’33 and Reed ’34. Bill is a former member of Collegiate’s Board of Trustees and served as chairman. Susan is a former Parents’ Association President. Each year, the endowment recognizes three outstanding and inspiring full-time individuals, one in each division, who have been teachers, coaches or counselors for 10 years or less. But this year was different. Mrs. Williams, along with Susan Droke, Chief Academic Officer, approached the family about adjusting the purpose of the Hamill Award during this unprecedented year, given the pandemic when all teachers were working in new and innovative ways. It was simply too difficult to choose one teacher from each division when every teacher was giving 110%. “The Hamills really modeled for us how to adapt quickly to a new environment,” says Mrs. Droke. Global Online Academy was chosen as a program that would benefit all faculty from 1st Grade-12th Grade. GOA is an internationally recognized organization that provides access to the latest resources and research on instructional practices, including topics such as designing for online learning, assessment and developing student agency. All 1st-12th Grade teachers took courses through GOA this summer, with many choosing to go above and beyond by taking additional courses. They connected with peers around the world and experienced what it was like to be online students themselves. “We learned last spring that we could use some more professional development to increase our acumen and flexibility in applying best practices across online, hybrid and in-person models,” Mrs. Droke says. “It really made a difference for us when we opened the school back up this fall.” “GOA provided important social emotional teaching tools and resources for our teachers to develop and grow strong relationships, regardless of our learning scenario, providing a strong foundation for the 2020-21 academic year,” says Mrs. Williams.

Matthew Richardson and Asher Rolfe developed a curriculum for economic literacy in the Middle School.

“No matter the learning mode,” reflects Mrs. Droke, “we have found what matters most is the human connection. I’m so proud of the Collegiate community — we rose to the occasion.”

wenty-six high-school students from around the Richmond region collaborated with area organizations and implemented design-thinking strategies to develop solutions during the 43rd annual and the first virtual Cochrane Summer Economic Institute (CSEI), a community outreach program that’s partially funded by the Powell Economic Education Foundation and administered by Collegiate School’s Powell Institute for Responsible Citizenship.

Students accepted into the program hailed from a variety of schools: Appomattox Regional Governor’s School, Clover Hill High School, Collegiate School, J.R. Tucker High School, Meadowbrook High School, Mills E. Godwin High School, St. Catherine’s School, St. Christopher’s School, St. Gertrude High School and the Steward School. Over the course of the four-week virtual program, students were paired together and then partnered with local organizations that included the Richmond Flying Squirrels, Midas of Richmond, Dominion Energy and Impact Makers. The teams collaborated and used the design process for inspiration, ideation and interpretation to create or rework a strategy, communication or other business function for a specific user group in their partner organizations. “We were very clear with the students from the outset,” says Trina Clemans, Director of the Cochrane Summer Economic Institute. “CSEI 2020 was going to be

new territory for all of us. We were going to learn together, fail together and solve problems together. The bonus was what we were afraid would elude us the most — building community and friendships virtually and in the midst of uncertainty — happened organically because we were all willing to try.” It was a new experience for everyone. “I was impressed with the experience of working with and seeing the results from our team as they dealt with the challenges of collaborating in a virtual environment,” says Ben Terry, executive director of corporate partnerships for the Richmond Squirrels, and design-team sponsor and mentor. “In the workplace, this has been a struggle for professionals around the world and to see these young adults perform and work together on a project like this was wonderful.” Students demonstrated adaptability and attention to detail as they learned on the job. “Over the course of the last few weeks, one thing that I noticed was that they very much were active listeners,” says Terry. “This can be crucial to success in both scholastic and professional environments. From there, this active listening turned into proactive work effort, which had a clear impact on the final product.” Scholarships supported by a generous donation from the Association for Corporate Growth-Richmond chapter, with additional support from Mark

Smith, owner of Midas of Richmond, were awarded at the conclusion of CSEI. The teams voted to select the member who exhibited traits of exceptional collaborative leadership and a great interest in a career in business. The $500 Scholarship Award will be awarded to the recipients in May 2021. Winners include Team Dominion Energy’s Susanna Shepard (Mills E. Godwin High School), Team Impact Makers’ Hailey Wharram (The Steward School), Team Midas Of Richmond’s Jumana Meri (Appomattox Regional Governor’s School) and Natalie Wolpert (St. Gertrude High School), and Team Richmond Squirrels’ Michael Frank (The Steward School). “Taking CSEI 2020 virtually forced us to create a new experience out of what was and imagine what could be. We had never invited guests from around the United States into our CSEI classroom, and Zoom enabled us to do just that,” says Clemans. “In addition to our Richmond-based guests Richard Wintsch, Executive Director of Startup Virginia, Rasheeda Creighton, founder of The 3Fifty Group, and John Dau, Collegiate’s Global Scholar-in-Residence and founder of the John Dau Foundation, we had the pleasure of hosting Victor Saad, founder of the Experience Institute in Chicago, as well as Mike Pierantozzi, Group Creative Director at VaynerMedia in New York, and the students were able to interview individuals for their design challenges who, in years past, would have been considered inaccessible.” — Aynsley Miller Fisher ’93

New Senior Pledge LEADS THE WAY THROUGH COVID-19

A

t Collegiate’s 22nd Convocation, the two Senior Class Presidents, Cameron Ruh and Henry Mountcastle, introduced the students’ Senior Pledge to the School.

“We decided to write the Senior Pledge,” says Cameron, “as a way to recognize the responsibility we hold as seniors.” “Cameron and I knew that this year was going to be difficult for the students, but especially difficult for the faculty,” Henry says, “so we wanted to help the teachers as much as possible.” While writing the pledge, the focus was on social distancing and mask-wearing both at school and outside of it. “We all feel so lucky to be on campus, and we want to remain here to finish out our senior year,” says Cameron. “Additionally, we have a responsibility to help keep ourselves, our teachers and our families safe.” The faculty was impressed with their initiative. “I think high schoolers are very much influenced by peer-to-peer decision-making,” Beth Kondorossy, Director of Student Life, says, “and therefore, if the majority of this class commits to what is stated in this pledge, the hope is that it will positively influence the decisions classmates make, as well as students in other grades.” “We want to make this year as smooth as possible,” says Henry.

By signing this commitment form, I pledge to serve as a positive example when following the safety precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at Collegiate. As a member of the Senior Class, I pledge to serve as a role model for younger students through social distancing measures and wearing a face covering during appropriate times. Additionally, I pledge that I will deeply consider the safety of my fellow students and teachers when making decisions outside of school.

Honor Code Signing Pledging to commit to one of Collegiate School’s core values, all Upper Schoolers signed the Honor Code in front of their peers and advisors. Honors Council student co-chairs James Kulp and Pender Bauhan addressed the significance of the Honor Code in a letter to their classmates. They wrote, “Upholding Honor makes one trustworthy, forthright, responsible, and fair. This personal integrity carries over into our honor policy, which states that lying, cheating, and stealing are all prohibited in our community. This applies to all areas of student life, inside and outside of the classroom.” While this year’s Honor Code signing was done in smaller advisory groups, allowed optional casual dress and required a clean pen for each student, the commitment to Honor at Collegiate remains unchanged.


CH IN ES E N EW YEA R Collegiate’s 8th Annual Chinese New Year Celebration was held virtually in February. The program included a compilation of videos featuring current Chinese language students in all three divisions as well as activity bags for younger students. Seniors Henry Montcastle and Becky Parhen served as hosts. The evening was creatively reimagined by Chinese language teachers Ms. Xin-yi Fergusson, Lower School; Ms. Yu Xiao and Ms. Daisy Hu, Middle School; and Ms. Zhangyi Shi and Ms. Dongmei Yuan, Upper School. Thank you to the Asia Society’s Confucius Classrooms Network for their generous support.

Night of Light Collegiate 2nd Graders and families celebrated Night of Light, an exhibition of their Studio Two artwork, in November. The virtual program included a student-created shadow-puppet performance of Ferdinand and a glimpse inside partner school Jam's Academy in Cameroon. Night of Light celebrates the ways in which students can be a light in their own communities.

Poetry Out Loud In December, thirty students in Grades 9 through 12 participated in Collegiate's Poetry Out Loud competition,

ENGAGE THE NEXT GENERATION

Students in the Ethics and the Engaged Citizen capstone refined their skills of respectful, deliberative argumentation in a community dedicated to preparing the next generation of dynamic, creative thinkers. The winning team of the Collegiate Ethics Bowl competed in the Virginia High School Ethics Bowl, which the class organized and led as the culminating event of the capstone. The Virginia High School Ethics Bowl took place online and included esteemed college faculty as judges. The capstone students succeeded in successfully reimagining the bowl as a virtual event, which was livestreamed on Facebook. Collegiate’s team progressed through a day of intense competition, making it all the way to the finals.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Ghana How to make toilets more accessible to the general population

The seventh annual TEDxYouth@RVA event took place virtually on Saturday, Nov. 14. Fifteen Collegiate Senior Capstone students curated an impressive lineup of speakers who represent the powerful minds working to use their ideas to improve the Richmond community. The students managed marketing for the event (including logo design, social media, PR and more), coached speakers, worked on the production and planned the program. The result was a well-attended, engaging evening of short, powerful talks filled with new ideas.

TIME TO ACCLIMATE:

10th International Emerging Leaders Conference

A

s the keynote speaker begins, 56 high school students Zoom in from nine countries around the world. It’s 8 a.m. in Virginia, 2 p.m. in Italy and 6 p.m. in Kazakhstan — on a Sunday, no less. Collegiate has just launched its 10th annual, and first virtual, International Emerging Leaders Conference.

The week-long program has had the same goal since it started in 2010: to foster collaboration among students who work in small international teams on environmental challenges faced by the participating countries. IELC is believed to be the first program of its kind hosted at an American school during the academic year. Every year, Collegiate seniors agree to make up a week of missed schoolwork in order to join the team. Faculty members renew acquaintances with now-familiar colleagues from partner schools around the world, and Richmond parents eagerly sign up to host the visiting international students in their homes.

ENTER COVID “But with the advent of the coronavirus, we had to figure out how to make this conference happen again in 2020,” says Sara Boisvert, Director of the Powell Institute for Responsible Citizenship. In the spring, Ms. Boisvert, together with Erica Coffey (Director of Inclusion and Global Engagement) and Rhiannon Boyd (Senior Capstone Coordinator), met to discuss the situation, not knowing what the fall would bring. “Our values were tested,” admits Ms. Boisvert. Rejecting the easy solution of skipping a year, the three administrators decided to move the conference to Zoom instead.

“It became really clear to all of us, really quickly, that this was exactly the right thing to do. After all, we are committed to building problem-solving skills for students. We don’t know what it will be like in the world by the time they become adults. To thrive in uncertain times, you need to be flexible. Pivot. Lead when leading is hard.” The irony of that lesson was not lost on Collegiate’s conference leaders.

VIRTUAL CONFERENCE RESULTS As it turned out, IELCX2020 was mostly smooth sailing. Of course, there were adjustments to be made. Several participating countries could not take part this year because their Wi-Fi connection and internet access were not strong or sophisticated enough. “But I guess the most significant drawback of our virtual format,” says Mrs. Coffey, “was the lack of in-person connection — what our foreign students missed by not spending the week living with American families.” On the other hand, virtual IELC had its benefits. Already digitally intuitive, students rapidly became more proficient in their use of technology. When the annual exercise of creating a physical prototype to solve an environmental problem went online, it eliminated the need for materials — itself an environmental solution. “I think we’ll keep that part of the project digital,” muses Mrs. Boyd. “We thought the technology would be limiting, but in this case, it actually enhanced our goals.” Collegiate senior Leighton Klevana had no problem embracing the technology. “I learned that even though I couldn’t be in person with my team,” he says, “I could still accomplish major tasks with

them. The awkward moments in the beginning of the conference — which there were quite a few of — taught us all how to work through obstacles and become a better team member. One of our group norms was to mute your mic, not yourself. This helped us all have our voices heard.”

REAL WORLD BENEFITS “Everyone was so grateful,” Mrs. Boyd smiles. “You just get past the remote nature of it quickly and focus on the good.” COVID lockdown regulations in some countries were stricter than in America, so there were students who had even less contact with other young people than in the U.S. After the first day, they were begging to stay connected so they could “just hang out.”

“Despite the short span of nine days and even shorter time in each other’s company we had,” concludes Collegiate Senior Cami Villanueva, “we accomplished more than we could have imagined. At the end of it all, this conference is about us, students from all over the world, coming together to learn, create and make mistakes together.” Ms. Boisvert: “People talk about this generation not caring, always being on their phones. Well, it’s not true. We just need to give them the opportunity to prove they want connections beyond the screen. It’s hard for them to go out and find on their own. Adults need to provide opportunities for them. It’s a vital part of their growth.” — Susan T. Burtch

COLLEGIATE TO WELCOME

Courtney Martin as Associate Head

H

undreds of local, national and international candidates competed for the position, but ultimately Courtney Martin was selected to be Collegiate’s Associate Head of School. She will start July 1, 2021. Courtney was previously the Director of the Lower School at Hawken School, a preeminent coeducational, college preparatory day school with over 1,400 students on four campuses in Cleveland, Ohio. There, along with her colleagues, she worked to streamline a cohesive academic program from early childhood through all divisions of the school; led the opening of a new toddler section; focused on faculty professional development; and advanced diversity and inclusion initiatives. Prior to Hawken, she served as a division director at The Bishop John T. Walker School for Boys in Washington, D.C. and as a classroom teacher at The Lovett School in Atlanta, Georgia, and St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School in Alexandria, Virginia.

“I am excited by the great work that is already happening at Collegiate,” says Courtney. “I look forward to getting to know the school and each division, and to finding ways to build on strengths and commonalities, so that together we can continue to advance Collegiate’s focus on educating the whole child and producing graduates who are compassionate, responsible and curious.” Courtney holds two master’s degrees, one from the University of Georgia in Social Work and one in Elementary Education from the well-known Lesley College/Shady Hill School teacher training program in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She holds a B.A. in Sociology from Hampton University. She looks forward to returning to the Commonwealth of Virginia and getting to know the Richmond region as her new home while furthering Collegiate’s many community partnerships as an extension of the School’s classrooms. “We are thrilled to welcome Courtney, an admired educator who is committed to

intentionality and care for the holistic education of children and to growing learning communities that pull in a shared direction for the good of our students,” says Penny Evins, Head of School. “An educator at heart, her thoughtful, curious, driven, joyful, collaborative and strategic approaches will benefit Collegiate. I look forward to her immersion in all aspects of our program delivery and growth.” Courtney’s appointment begins following the forthcoming retirement of Susan Droke, who has nurtured and furthered nearly all aspects of the JK-12 experience during her tenure as Collegiate’s Chief Academic Officer. We look forward to celebrating Susan Droke’s retirement at the end of the 2021 school year.

Susan Wiley

RETIRES

The dynamic Susan Wiley, Assistant to the Head of School, retired in December after 20 years with Collegiate. Keith Evans, Head of School from 1999-2004, says that when she was hired in 2000, “she quickly became indispensable.” Others have described her as the heartbeat of the school. In addition to gifts of a video tribute and box of heartfelt notes, a bench outside the Head of School’s office honors Susan with a plaque bearing her name. The bench is, fittingly, directly across from another bench dedicated to her mother-in-law, Betty Wiley, who held the same job before Susan. “Over the course of her years at Collegiate,” reflects Penny Evins, “Susan has touched the lives of so many, and we are grateful for everything she has done.”

HONORING

Bobby Ukrop

A

t their February meeting, Collegiate’s Board of Trustees passed a Resolution Expressing

Appreciation for the Service of Robert “Bobby” S. Ukrop to

Collegiate's Next Board Chair

O

n February 1, 2021, the Collegiate Board of Trustees enthusiastically approved Carter M. Reid as Vice Chair and Board Secretary for the remainder of this school year. She will become Board Chair on July 1, 2021.

Carter is Executive Vice President, Chief of Staff and Corporate Secretary of Dominion Energy, and the President of Dominion’s subsidiary company that provides the administrative services, including human resources, technology, facilities management and security, to its operating companies. Her professional life also includes service to a number of nonprofit organizations. She graduated from James Madison University in 1990 and University of Richmond School of Law in 1993. As we look to the School’s future, Carter is very well-suited to carry our torch forward. Carter has been a Collegiate Trustee since 2014. She currently serves on the Executive Committee and chairs the Board’s Finance Committee. As you may remember, Carter was Co-chair of our Strategic Planning Initiative. The first phase listening process gathered input from over 400 parents, faculty, alumni and students before it was put on hold last March. This important work will be reignited once we can gather safely in person and engage our entire community in key topics. Most importantly, Carter understands first-hand what makes our Collegiate community so remarkable. She and her husband, Joe, are the parents of Katherine Reid ’16 and Will Reid ’18. Carter deeply appreciates what the Collegiate experience brought to her own children and holds for future generations.

Collegiate School. Among many accolades for Bobby’s significant business, philanthropic and community leadership, the resolution recognized Bobby’s commitment to the Collegiate Board of Trustees beginning in 1984.

TAKING OUR

MOONSHOT 22 SPARK | Features


G

uided by our motto Parat, Ditat, Durat ­— Prepare, Enrich, Endure ­­— Collegiate began planning at the end of last spring to reopen campus in September amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was a formidable task. With hopes for nearly 2,000 students, faculty and staff to return, basic precautions wouldn’t be enough — changes to support safety would be paramount. “We took a really thoughtful risk,” says Penny Evins, Head of School. “The goal was getting every human being back on this campus all at once. Once we had scientific, mathematical measurements, we realized we could take a moonshot.” “I have two Cougars myself, and it is humbling to navigate hopes, realities and developmental needs as parents — add a pandemic to this, and it was clear how much we all needed each other and the support of this wonderful community.”

Reopening Collegiate During COVID-19

In order to plan for every exigency, eight Visioning and Planning Teams, headed by Susan Droke, Chief Academic Officer, ran through three different scenarios: all of the students, faculty and staff returning; a blended model of on-site and online learning to keep density down on campus; and the possibility that all classes would have to be remote. More than 80 faculty and staff members, administrators, Trustees, Parents’ Association leadership, medical professionals and experts contributed ­— P ENNY EVINS to the effort.

Teams were tasked with thinking through overarching goals to the smallest of details to keep everyone safe — hashing out logistics like the spaces between desks, hand sanitizer locations, changes to lunchtime and carpool, health screenings, temperature checks, cohorts, schedule changes, as well as new ways to engage alumni, parents and prospective students when visitors wouldn’t be allowed on the campus. “Every question that was generated from our committee generated 10 more questions,” recalls James Bandy, Director of Campus Safety and Security. “Things would change on a daily basis, and throughout the planning process, we had to pivot, and change or modify our decisions.”

After safety, the top priority was academics. “How do you come back from a remote learning experience to a school that’s very different from the one you left?” Mrs. Droke encouraged the teams to consider. In partnership with an architect, every inch of the campus was measured by the team that dubbed themselves the Space Invaders. The libraries, Sharp Academic Commons and Oates Theater were reimagined as classrooms. Tents went up outdoors. Floors and ground were marked with six feet of spacing. In the Middle and Upper Schools, some classes were split into paired classrooms, one half of students with the teacher and the other joining by Zoom from a room supervised by a proctor.


Plans were developed to teach students learning remotely from home, both on a shortterm basis and for the school year. There were big tech upgrades, both for instructional support and for air quality. Technology and facilities staff worked nonstop throughout the summer to get everything ready.

AN INVESTMENT IN COMMUNITY The preparation paid off on September 1, when, for the first time since March, cars streamed through campus, decorated in green and gold, filled with excited students and grateful families. In a time when few schools were opening their doors, Collegiate went a step beyond and also opened Quest Aftercare. With community a priority, the Collegiate Families Emergency Relief Fund, created through philanthropy, provided tuition grants for those hit hard by the pandemic.

“How do you come back from a remote learning experience to a school that’s very different from the one you left?” ­— S U SA N D R O K E

Collegiate spent more than $2 million to reopen, including additional faculty to reduce classroom density, additional substitute teachers, HVAC and air quality improvements, renovations, furniture, outdoor learning spaces, technology upgrades, signage, water stations, cleaning supplies, PPE and more. Yet, with the uncertainty of COVID-19, no one knew how long the reopening success would last.

daily to assess data, navigate changes, make decisions and anticipate — no easy task — what might occur in the future. Scott Smith, Director of Admission and Enrollment Management, took on the role of COVID coordinator, and Technology Services built the Collegiate COVID-19 dashboard, accessible through PawNet, to keep everyone informed. Our community embraced the Responsible Cougar Pact to cover, clean, space between and avoid risks. When cases and exposures have occurred, our nurses have worked with families and the Virginia Department of Health on contact tracing and guidance. To date, there have been no transmissions on campus. Throughout the year, Dr. Leroy “Bo” Vaughan ’97, Epidemiologist/Infectious Diseases Physician, and Dr. Carolyn Port, Pediatrician, both Collegiate parents, have been a valuable sounding board. In December, Collegiate launched a Vaccine Taskforce, led by Phyllis Palmiero, Chief Financial Officer/Chief Operating Officer, to connect our community with emerging opportunities for vaccination.

THE SHOW MUST GO ON With limitations on gatherings, assemblies throughout the

year had to be reimagined. Lower School created videos, Middle School livestreamed, and Upper School continued using the Oates Theater, with dramatically reduced occupancy and most students watching via livestream in classrooms. The tradition of senior speeches proudly carried on with the speakers’ families and some classmates attending in person. “As with any live performance or speech, having fewer people in the theater can reduce the feel or energy that one receives when speaking,” observes Mike Boyd, Director of Performing Arts. “The seniors giving speeches have done an excellent job of not letting that aspect affect them. They have all delivered their speeches with as much enthusiasm and passion as the seniors that preceded them.” The fall play is usually a musical, but singing was off the table. Almost Maine was selected because there were only two actors in most scenes.

A NEW KIND OF TEAMWORK In early July, with reopening on the horizon, Athletics invited Cougars JK-12 to Robins Campus for wellness sessions, athletic-performance training and open gyms. Protocols such as health screenings and temperature checks were put into place, paving the way for the school year. Come fall, varsity, junior varsity and cub sports began practices with strict physical distancing and other mitigation protocols in place. In Grades 7-12, 554 athletes participated on 26 teams, which gradually progressed to game-like drills and intrasquad scrimmages. Varsity and JV joined interscholastic play, though football, deemed a high-risk sport by the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association and the Prep League, finished the season with intra-squad flag football. “While the season was marked by uncertainty throughout,” says Athletic Director Karen Doxey, “our athletes handled the situation incredibly well. Our captains and seniors led their teams with positivity and found true appreciation for being on the fields, courts and trails with their friends every afternoon.” That indomitable Cougar spirit

A BEACON OF HOPE “Collegiate is a beacon of hope for many schools, and we are sharing what has worked and what has not worked with others,” Mrs. Evins says. The hope is that other schools and students will be able to benefit. Throughout the year, a particular focus has been celebrating the Class of 2021, and the strength

“What we’ve learned since people have returned is that the human connection — the relationships with each other in physical proximity, even with six feet between us — is an elixir and catalyst for learning, and the social and emotional health, and “I think there’s so much support,” well-being of everyone,” reflects Cameron says, “and since Mrs. Evins. everyone is going through the same changes, it makes it so “Our Collegiate students, faculty much easier to adapt.” and staff have performed with grace, humility and bravery. Yes, One change she hopes will we have worn masks in the stick around after the pandemic physical sense, but from my is the increase in outside-time vantage point, we have shown students enjoy. “It’s an amazing more vulnerability, courage, break in the day where you creativity and potential than ever get to be on our beautiful before.

lives. The distance we have learned to keep has brought us closer; the unity in our commitment to community and to finding a way — even if it is not the way it always was — is palpable on our campus.” Of course, none of this success would have been possible without the flexibility, support and generosity of our Collegiate parents and families. As spring dawns, the School takes hopeful steps forward — opening playground equipment, and hosting outdoor artistic performances with guests, athletic competitions with spectators, youth sports, yearend celebrations and summer programs on campus. Already, guided by our motto, planning is underway for next year.

Convocation and Senior/ Kindergarten Buddies In October, Collegiate celebrated its 22nd Convocation on Grover Jones Field. Prior to the ceremony, seniors and kindergarten buddies had their much anticipated first meetings, during which they talked and read books together to kick off a year of friendship. The pairings then processed onto the field, joined by 4th and 8th Graders, while the rest of campus, families and alumni joined via livestream. Convocation is an annual celebration of the opening of school and a charge to each member of the 4th, 8th and 12th Grades to lead their respective divisions through the school year. Community, positivity and Collegiate’s values flowed as themes through the speeches and musical performances. Head of School Penny Evins asked us to look at the efforts of every member of our community to reopen school as an inspiration. She thanked the parents, students, faculty, staff and friends who are making this year possible and emphasized the importance of person-to-person leadership. She said, “May the small moments at Collegiate amongst the classes of 2021 and 2033 inspire us to do big things for the world! It is my hope that Convocation fills your heart with positivity and a ‘can do’ spirit. May we move forward together, as learners, through the ‘beautiful oops’ of COVID-19, both proud and humble to be part of something much bigger than ourselves.”

TOWN SCHOOL TEA Alumnae of the original Collegiate School for Girls gathered on Zoom for the annual Town School Tea. They heard from Head of School Penny Evins about reopening amid the COVID-19 pandemic and from 4th Grade students about what it is like to be in school during this time. The alumnae were treated to a slideshow of photos from their years at Collegiate and then had an opportunity to talk amongst themselves. One participant claimed, “I am grinning from ear to ear!”

50TH AND 5TH Cougars connected across the decades this fall when current 5th Grade students wrote letters to the members of the Class of 1970 as an outreach activity in honor of the class’s 50th reunion year. Students told alumni what it’s like being a 5th grader at Collegiate today. Many of the members of the class of 1970 wrote back, and several have become pen pals. Pictured are Terrell Williams ’70 and his 5th Grade pen pal, George Cobb.

CREATIVE PERSPECTIVES Though in-person audiences are much smaller this year, and some activities such as singing are restricted, students have continued to find ways to share their gifts, experiences and perspectives with others. From book gatherings and assemblies to sharing creativity through music, dance, visual arts and STEAM, Collegiate students remain innovative and communityminded. As always, this year’s senior speeches have ranged from humorous to poignant to insightful, each inspiring hearts and minds in a unique way. This winter, Collegiate students garnered an astonishing 53 art awards and 10 writing awards in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition.

Homecoming 2020 No matter the “The Space Between,” Collegiate found ways to come together as a community for Homecoming 2020. It was an amazing time of wearing our green and gold, enjoying the Family Fun Run, Pep Parade and Tailgate, celebrating our seniors and athletic teams, and honoring our Homecoming Court, and Homecoming King and Queen, John Ballowe and Kate Aaronson. In place of an all-school Pep Rally, the Lower School paraded around the football field in imaginative green-and-gold outfits during the Lower School Spirit Hike. The Upper School held a virtual Pep Rally and crowned their Homecoming King and Queen during an Upper School assembly. While the football team was not able to compete in person on Homecoming Day, Cougar fans had much to enjoy with a series of videos including memories from the archives and interviews with some of the Collegiate sport greats. The enthusiasm displayed for all events proved that the Cougar Spirit is undefeated!

Fall Athletics Fall sports started practicing a couple of weeks before the start of School, with 554 athletes in 7th-12th Grades participating on 26 teams. The season included socially distanced practices, masking protocols varied by sport, logistical and transportation challenges, (travelling to Robins Campus, our 50-passenger buses now carried only 12 athletes, for example) and no guarantee of competition. Ultimately, all sports except football, deemed high risk, did compete interscholastically, with girls’ varsity tennis finishing 10-0. More importantly, each team came together under their captains’ leadership with positivity and true appreciation for their teammates and the time together.

PAGEANT Since the early days of the Collegiate School for Girls on Monument Avenue, Collegiate has offered the Pageant of the Nativity as a gift to the community. Former Headmistress Catharine Flippen, who directed the Pageant for many years, envisioned the Pageant experience as one hour of peace, hope and joy. This year, our students, faculty and staff found a way to continue the tradition through the restrictions of the pandemic. We shared a virtual presentation that blended together photographs of current senior girls with archival photos and music. The grace, courage and leadership shown by our senior girls, and several members of our faculty and staff, and their care and time invested in creating the production are shining examples of the ways our Collegiate community remains strong and vibrant. The presentation received more than 4,000 views, and the School received notes of gratitude from alumni far and wide. As Kiltie Tompkins Colavita ’03 shared, “In a year filled with disruption and uncertainty, this was such a creative way to bring the holiday spirit and the safety of the familiar to the broader community. I had almost forgotten how incredible the holiday season is at Collegiate, with its many unique and beautiful traditions. But as this video reminded me, the pageant is the standout. I have so many vivid memories ingrained in my mind from eight years of participating in it, many moons ago. It was formative in the best possible way. And the music! The quality I believed the choirs and music directors had 20 years ago has not been depleted at all. The singing still gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes. There are very few traditions that, left almost entirely untouched as time moves on, actually manage to stand the test of time. The Collegiate Pageant is magical, and I feel blessed to have been a part of it.”

JOAN OATES A Legacy for the Arts

ome people have an effect on a community that extends far after they’re gone. Joan Olmsted Oates, who died April 3, 2020, will be remembered for her contributions to the arts here at Collegiate and in the wider Richmond community as well.

“Joan told the story about how integrating the arts into teaching came about,” says Robert McAdams, Director of Partners in the Arts. “She was teaching a music class at Collegiate in 1968. It was snowing outside, and, of course, the students were all going crazy. I remember her saying, ‘Any good teacher has a lesson plan in hand. Then you see what’s going on, and you throw it out the window.’ “She said that was the spark. She had her students create a dance about the snow. They wrote poems about the snowflakes. She realized they were actually doing science content. That little nugget turned into her works with the Arts Council that’s continuing to today.” It also inspired Joan’s enormously generous philanthropy that forms the foundation of the arts at Collegiate.

“Joan was very committed to developing the whole child.

and then went on to obtain a graduate degree in Education from Harvard. While raising her family of four, Chris ’72, David ’74, Katie ’75 and Tony ’79, she became a Collegiate Lower School music teacher in her always lively classroom. Later she taught at Virginia Commonwealth University as an Instructor of Creative Teaching.

Mom’s overriding mission was to foster the arts as an integral part of education and of life. She never wavered from that devotion.” — daughter Katie Oates Nixon

“Joan [a Lifetime Trustee] was loyal and totally committed to Collegiate,” says Wallace Stettinius, also a Lifetime Trustee, who served alongside her for many years. “Joan very was committed to developing the whole child. She was very smart and had a great social conscience.” She was instrumental in the planning and development of many campus projects, including the Hershey Center for the Arts which houses the Oates Theater, named in honor of her and her husband, the late Dr. James F. Oates. During 2018-2019, the theater underwent renovations which increased seating from 566 to more than 700, as well as replaced the old lighting and sound systems with new ones. The renovations and expansion were completed during the theater’s 25th anniversary. “My mother’s 60-year devotion to Collegiate is perhaps easier for me to see and appreciate now, with adult hindsight,” says daughter, Katie Oates Nixon. “The money that she and Wally Stettinius raised launched a significant foundation for growth that made Collegiate into the school it is today. Mom’s overriding mission was to foster the arts as an integral part of education and of life. She never wavered from that devotion.”

Joan’s legacy of support continues. “Joan and her husband Jim were very astute philanthropists,” says Jason Chestnutt, Leadership Giving Officer and Director of Gift Planning. “Through thoughtful planning, they provided one of the largest estate gifts Collegiate has received.” In the community at large, Joan and VCU’s Bob and Glad Fleming began a summer teaching program to enhance professional development for teachers in Richmond. She then became a board member of the Arts Council of Richmond and was inspired there to help create the Partners in the Arts program, as well as breathe life back into the Summer Institute, an organization that helps teachers in the city and its environs bring visual and performing arts into schools. In her honor, the Summer Institute was renamed the Joan Oates Institute for Partners in the Arts at the University of Richmond. She was the recipient of many honors, including the Philanthropist of the Year award by the Association of Fundraising Professionals (2013)

hen I had occasion to speak with Joan Oates, we would sometimes talk about woodworking, because her mother had been an accomplished woodcarver. I still have several mahogany serving boards with beautiful floral relief carving on the edges that Joan’s mother made.

and the YWCA Outstanding Woman Award (2007). Along with her four children, all of whom have earned graduate degrees, Joan was the proud grandmother of nine. “Mrs. Oates was a remarkable educator both in and out of the classroom,” says Debbie Miller, Head of Collegiate’s Lower School. “Her family’s devotion to the furtherance of the arts is second to none. This devotion and commitment have led to multiple students pursuing careers in the arts and many others having a richer, fuller life because of their contributions to Collegiate and the broader community. She was a dear, dear lady.” “Her impact on the people, the learning spaces and the culture of our School is palpable and everlasting,” says Penny Evins, Head of School. “Her sense of purpose for education and ability to make every individual with whom she met feel important remains a model of excellence for all of us.”

Joan attended several of our student classes in those early years. I recall her being very engaged with the students as they worked, and she asked them questions about what they were making and what specific tools they were using. On one occasion we pulled out her mother’s carvings, and Joan discussed with the students the particular skill set needed to make those carvings. At a later point, when I was visiting Joan in her residence at Cedarfield, she indicated a spot in her living room where she envisioned a small table, and she said to me with a twinkle in her eye, “Don’t you think your students would enjoy designing and building a small table that would fit that spot?” I immediately said, “Absolutely!” And the idea was born for a working relationship between our Middle Schoolers and Joan. The students chose mahogany for the table, and it took an entire semester to build. When it was finished, we borrowed a school van and took a field trip to present it to Joan at her home. It really did look good where Joan had pictured it at the end of her sofa, and she was very grateful. After that date, I was amused that the table travelled around her living space, occupying at least three different locations. My favorite was a sunny spot just inside her front door where it could be seen by everyone who came to see her. — as told by Stephen Hart ’78, who developed a relationship with Mrs. Oates during his time in the development office. He now serves as Art Faculty (Woodworking), and Track and Field Assistant Coach. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

LETTER FRO M K R IS T E N W IL L IA MS, CHIEF DEVE L O P ME N T O F F IC E R

This past year, we felt the much-needed strength and warmth of our community. All of us at Collegiate were humbled by the generous outpouring of support. We received your kind letters, words of encouragement, countless volunteer offers and so much more. Thank you! We are incredibly grateful to you, our donors, for supporting the School financially. Your philanthropic gifts allowed us to provide an exceptional learning environment for our students and continue to deliver our mission, despite all of the challenges. With great Cougar pride, we report a recordbreaking year. Nearly 1,600 donors gave more than $2.1 million to the Annual Fund. Your donation supported the immediate needs of our community: new and enhanced technology equipment to assist our teachers and students, additional faculty professional development and training, crucial financial assistance for families and additional priorities of the School.

We are also grateful for the many parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends who supported the newly created Collegiate Families Emergency Relief Fund with a tuition assistance grant for families facing financial hardship as a result of COVID-19. This important fund allows us to keep our Cougar community intact, and we are deeply touched by gifts large and small. For all the ways you have supported the Collegiate community this past year, we say thank you! You have made a meaningful difference, and we are immensely appreciative of your partnership and support. Sincerely, Kristen Williams Chief Development Officer

Donors to the

COLLEGIATE FAMILIES EMERGENCY RELIEF FUND

T

he COVID-19 pandemic shook our community and impacted families financially. With the goal of keeping our community intact and to assist those families for whom this pandemic has created financial hardship, in April 2020 Collegiate created the Collegiate Families Emergency Relief Fund (CFERF). The fund provided one-time grants to offset the 2020-21 academic year’s tuition. The donors listed recognized that the power of philanthropy can

change lives and gave generously. With the support of these donors, thus far we have assisted nearly 20 students. On behalf of the School, our deepest gratitude and thanks.

Bringing Alumni Together DURING CO V ID -19

T

hroughout this unusual year, virtual events such as the Town School Tea (p. 35), Homecoming (p. 38-41) and Pageant (p. 46), as well as activities such as letter-writing outreach to our 50th Reunion alumni by 5th Graders (p. 35) have creatively brought together Collegiate alumni from around the world and across the decades. Over the summer, the Development Office reached out to welcome the Class of 2020 as our newest alumni. This fall, to connect with graduates from 2009-2019, Collegiate mailed Cougar Paw face coverings and invitations to join Cougars Connect, our new online platform.

Allie Albright ’09, Liz Bruni ’09 and Sarah Dunn ’09, all three of whom are current faculty members at Collegiate, took the stage to address the senior class at Convocation. They spoke on behalf of the Class of 2009, remembering the current senior Class of 2021 as their kindergarten buddies, reflecting on their growth and encouraging their continued leadership through the school year. Other members of the Class of 2009 joined via livestream.

COUGARS CONNECT ONLINE PLATFORM Stay connected with our nearly 8,000 active alumni across the world by joining Cougars Connect! In order to better serve and connect our alumni, Collegiate recently launched this web-based platform for networking, mentoring and more. Get connected at cougaralums.com.

This fall’s Homecoming Social Media Takeover by Class of 2010 alumni Lauren Cricchi, Addie Gottwald, Bridgette Gottwald and Libby Russell reached almost 10,000 accounts on Instagram and 18,000 on Facebook. They engaged followers through contests, polls and photo-sharing, taking fellow Cougars down memory lane and inspiring participation in the week’s activities. They truly helped Homecoming 2020 live up to its theme­ — no matter “The Space Between,” we’ll always find ways to come together as a community. Cougar Spirit is undefeated!

FALL/SPRING 2020-21 93


• Welcome • New Alumni Board Members THE COLLEGIATE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION WELCOMES ALL OF OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS WHO BEGAN THEIR SERVICE IN SUMMER 2020

Lauren Cricchi ’10 Lauren currently lives in Washington, D.C., where she is a consultant at healthcare advisory firm Avalere Health and focuses on federal health policy and value-based care. During her time at Collegiate from 5th grade through graduation, she was a three-sport athlete: field hockey, basketball and lacrosse. She served as Class President for three years, and after graduation, she was an Echols Scholar at the University of Virginia. Lauren graduated from the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy in 2014 with a minor in Business Spanish. While at U.Va., she applied the leadership skills gained at Collegiate and served as the inaugural president of the newly formed Batten Undergraduate Council. She then moved to Washington, beginning her career as an intern at Liberty Partners Group, and then spent three years at the Lewin Group before starting her current position at Avalere in 2017. Lauren recently ended her three-year tenure serving on the board of the U.Va. Club of Washington, D.C., and hopes to bring her experience connecting the alumni community both in-person and virtually to her position on the Collegiate Alumni Board.

Stuart Farrell ’03 Stuart currently serves as a Managing Partner of Tuckahoe Holdings, a private equity holding company based in Richmond. Prior to helping found Tuckahoe, he served as a Director of Corporate Development for the Washington Post Co. (now Graham Holdings) and the Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Management/CFO of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. He is a 2003 graduate of Collegiate. Stuart completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Virginia and received an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. He is a father of two current Collegiate students.

Dominique Meeks Gombe ’09 Dominique currently lives in Richmond and works at Capital One as a Software Engineer. She is passionate about sharing her love of technology and is constantly looking for ways to bring underrepresented individuals into STEAM. In alignment with this notion, Dominique holds multiple positions for Trilogy Education Services, a company that partners with universities to bring skills-based training programs to working adults who wish to start a new career in technology. Pre-COVID she led weekly classes in partnership with Girls For A Change, where she taught coding fundamentals to young girls in under-served communities. Capital One’s Coders Program is another initiative to which Dominique devotes her time. This program partners with inner city schools across the Capital One footprint for a 10-week program where students are paired with a mentor and learn to develop apps of their own. In response to social distancing mandates, Dominique served on a committee to develop a completely virtual curriculum, which allowed the program to continue throughout 2020. Dominique graduated from Collegiate in 2009 and was a three-sport athlete: volleyball, basketball and track. She was ALL-LIS in all three, collected over 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her basketball career and holds the school record in the shot put. Dominique went on to play all three at Haverford College where she graduated with a B.S. in Chemistry.

Ginny Harris Hofheimer ’96 Ginny graduated from Collegiate in 1996 and went on to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, earning a B.A. in Journalism and Political Science. She returned to Richmond and joined the Martin Agency where she spent time in public relations and advertising as a Senior Account Executive for UPS, NASCAR and the John F. Kennedy Library. After the Martin Agency, Ginny served as the Director of Marketing for the locally-based global furniture company, McKinnon and Harris. In recent years, she has chosen to stay home with her family and has volunteered her time in various roles within the Collegiate Parents Association, Parent Admissions Committee and St. James’s Episcopal Church. Ginny is an occasional substitute French teacher — mon dieu! Ginny and her husband, Adam ’95, have two children at Collegiate — Henry ’27 and Carter ’29.

94 SPARK | Alumni News


Erin Smith Jewett ’94 Erin attended Collegiate for 13 years and graduated in 1994. Afterwards, she attended Davidson College, where she obtained her B.A. She then went on to work for Davenport & Company LLC for almost 12 years. After leaving Davenport in 2009 to stay home with her children, Erin has served on numerous charitable boards and organizations, and she very much enjoys her work in the community. She currently serves on the boards for TowneBank Richmond Foundation, the Country Club of Virginia and the St. James’s Children’s Center. She is married to Bryce Jewett III ’93, and their daughters Maddie ’25 and Izzie ’28 both attend Collegiate.

Amrik Sahni ’06 Amrik’s journey to Collegiate came after attending St. Michael’s Episcopal School in Bon Air through 8th grade. As a new student in 9th grade, Amrik was surrounded by many students who had grown up together, were friends with each other and whose families already knew one another. He won the seat of male freshman representative to the SCA unopposed, and he continued to serve there until he became co-chair his senior year. Amrick was a forward on the varsity soccer team his junior and senior year, and was a member of the 2004 state championship squad. After earning his B.A. at George Mason University, he moved to Atlanta and joined an international agricultural trading company. He now manages his own international trading company in Atlanta with his four-legged son, Mr. Scooter, and enjoys playing golf — especially with fellow alums around Atlanta. Amrik is honored to join the Alumni Board, and he looks forward to meeting current students, sharing their stories with alumni and making a difference on campus, despite serving remotely from the city of Atlanta.

Lauren Siff ’02 Lauren started Collegiate School in Kindergarten and is thrilled to have returned home to Richmond after completing training in OB-GYN at Tufts Medical Center and subspecialty fellowship training in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic. She is now a board-certified urogynecologist at Virginia Commonwealth University Health who provides comprehensive medical and advanced surgical treatments to women suffering from pelvic floor disorders. Lauren has a long history of leadership, holding positions within her institutions as well as in national organizations. She is currently Associate Director for the VCU multidisciplinary pelvic health program orchestrating combined care from urogynecology, urology, gastroenterology colorectal surgery and physical therapy. In addition, she has a strong commitment to education and research. She completed a Certificate of Distinguished Educator at the Cleveland Clinic and teaches a variety of trainees including preclinical medical students, continence nurses, gastroenterology fellows, and internal medicine, urology and OB-GYN residents. She has authored many peer-reviewed publications, award-winning oral presentations and is the current chair of OB-GYN resident research at VCU. Lauren and her husband, Chris Anderson, are so excited that both of their children, Ethan ’32 and Ellie ’34, are now at Collegiate and on the path to becoming lifers, too.

Elisabeth Arnold Weiss ’86 After graduating from Collegiate in 1986, Elisabeth attended the University of Virginia and the Claremont Graduate School where she earned degrees in Sociology, Film and Literature. She joined the faculty of the University of Southern California in 1999. She is an award-winning teacher and innovator in education and spearheaded many of the multidisciplinary educational offerings which are standard in college curricula today. Elisabeth attributes her love of learning and success in the field of higher education to her well-rounded K-12 experience and strong multidisciplinary academic background. The teaching spark was ignited in 6th grade, when she got her first job as a teacher’s helper in the summer program at Collegiate. She also wrote a column for Spark. She serves on several educational boards and is the Chair of the Learning Garden program at Palos Verdes Unified School District. Elisabeth lives with her husband Marty, a hotel executive, and their two children, Jasmine (age 10) and Jake (age 8), in Palos Verdes, California. Inspired by Collegiate’s new leadership and motivated by the abrupt transition to online engagement, Elisabeth felt the times called for more alumni connection and collaboration.

Harry Wilson ’01 Harry started at Collegiate in 4th grade and later on participated at the varsity level in football, basketball, baseball and track. He was inducted into the Collegiate Athletics Hall of Fame. Wilson went on to the University of Richmond where he continued playing football and baseball at the Division 1 level. He is an award-winning sales and leadership professional. After a career in pharmaceutical and medical device sales, Wilson co-founded Limitless Minds where he serves as CEO. Limitless Minds is a peak performance and leadership consulting company based out of Seattle, Washington with a mission to enrich culture and optimize performance. The vision is to turn the concept of adversity on its head, cultivating an ecosystem where fear, risk and change are seen as catalysts for growth. Wilson is also co-host of “The Room Tilters” podcast which explores the mindset that allows individuals to tilt a room and understand that the right perspective is truly a competitive advantage. Wilson is married to Courtenay Martin Wilson. They live in Louisville, Kentucky with their three daughters.

Nancy Newton Nancy Pace Newton, beloved Collegiate teacher, passed away on Feb. 3, 2021. In her inimitable way, she wrote her own obituary.

Dear Family and Friends, After a 21/2-year journey with pancreatic cancer, I peacefully passed away in New Orleans, Louisiana. I had a smile on my face remembering all the blessings of my life. The greatest joys and blessings of my life who survive me are my son, James Keith Marshall Newton IV, my daughter-in-law, Patricia Crosby Newton, and my three precious grandchildren, Susan Stiel, Margaret Tyler and Marshall Arrington Newton. After living 72 years in Richmond Virginia, I moved to New Orleans in 2014 to be a granny. I’ve always been proud of both graduating from Thomas Jefferson High School and RPI (Virginia Commonwealth University), as well as the graduate work I completed at the University of Virginia. My varied multiple careers took many unusual twists and turns: As a math teacher at The Collegiate School for 44 years, I loved and adored each one of my students even though there were many who wanted to strangle me. I did push them to do their best.

Judy Eck Davis, grandmother of Preston Champagne ’30, died July 24, 2020. Randolph Fowler Totten, grandfather of Arthur Totten ’25 and Clara Totten ’26, died in July 2020. James A. Avery, grandfather of Christina Gray ’06, Jessica Gray ’08 and Reinhardt “R.J.” Gray ’15, died July 26, 2020.

Being a professional photographer was extremely rewarding, as I photographed brides, grooms and families on such an important day in their life. It was very exciting to be the Kennedy Center photographer for the 25th anniversary gala, and the only photographer allowed in the Presidential box. I had wonderful memories throughout my life. Going to Japan as Richmond’s community ambassador with the Experiment in International Living was life changing for me. A service will eventually be held at Saint James’s Episcopal Church in Richmond Virginia in the summer of 2021. My ashes will rest in the columbarium in the chapel of St Paul’s Episcopal Church in New Orleans and Riverview Cemetery in Richmond with my parents. Frequently, tell your loved ones you love them! Wishing you God’s peace and blessings! Much love, Nancy

urrell Stultz passed away on Jan. 2, 2021 at Westminster Canterbury Richmond following a period of declining health. She was 86 years old.

Mrs. Stultz spent 45 years at Collegiate inspiring 3rd and 4th Graders. “Humble, selfless and unflappable even in the most challenging of times, she dedicated her life to family, friends, community and Collegiate,” Weldon Bradshaw wrote of her. What started as a two-day substitute-teaching assignment became a lifelong passion. “I was hooked,” Mrs. Stultz said. “I never even thought about leaving. I loved teaching. There were so many things you could try and do.” Throughout her career, she helped the Lower School curriculum grow to include units in life science, physical science and earth science. She was enthusiastic about sports and was often seen at games, cheering on Collegiate’s teams. “Burrell loved Collegiate,” says Debbie Miller, Head of Lower School. She was a generous benefactor and established the Clarence B. Williams Award in honor of her father to recognize an outstanding Lower School resource teacher each year. In remembrance of her mother, Mrs. Stultz also created the Nell G. Williams Science Fund to support science endeavors in the Lower School. “It just seemed like a natural,” Mrs. Stultz said. “Because of the atmosphere — the community, the interactions, the relationships — we became very dedicated to Collegiate.” Mrs. Stultz, a native of Petersburg, graduated from the University of Richmond. She is predeceased by her husband John and their daughter Lisa Stultz Moore ’77. “In no small measure, the Collegiate family became dedicated to her,” says Weldon. “Those whose paths crossed hers will hold fast the indelible memories of her quiet strength, her compassion, her leadership and her abiding commitment to others.”
