New Archivist Co-Teaching Gunn Scholar Program Along with new student leaders, two Gunn Scholars for the 2021-22 academic year were announced at Investiture on May 31. They are Grace Noh ’22 and Robin Wright ’22. With the start of the Fall Term, these students began their primary research in the Paula and George Krimsky ’60 Archives and Special Collections, guided by Emily Gum, Assistant Head of School for Teaching and Learning, and Moira Conlan, the school’s new Assistant Librarian and Archivist, who are co-teaching the Gunn Scholars this year. The students began by reading “The Master of The Gunnery,” to learn more about Frederick Gunn and the history of the school as a backdrop for their own projects. They are expected to complete almost all of their primary research and to have an annotated outline written by the end of the term, so when they begin writing their 10,000-word research papers this winter, they will have everything they need, Gum said. The scholars are tentatively scheduled to present their original research at the Rooted Research Conference on campus on April 24, 2022. One of Conlan’s first lessons was to teach the scholars about paleography, or Gunn Scholars Robin Wright ’22 and Grace Noh ’22 with Assistant Librarian and Archivist Moira Conlan and Emily Gum, Assistant Head of School for Teaching and Learning, who are co-teaching the program.
