  • An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England
    An Open Letter on Behalf of Independent Schools of New England, We, the heads of independent schools, comprising 176 schools in the New England region, stand in solidarity with our students and with the families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The heart of our nation has been broken yet again by another mass shooting at an American school. We offer our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who died and are grieving for the loss of life that occurred. We join with our colleagues in public, private, charter, independent, and faith-based schools demanding meaningful action to keep our students safe from gun violence on campuses and beyond. Many of our students, graduates, and families have joined the effort to ensure that this issue stays at the forefront of the national dialogue. We are all inspired by the students who have raised their voices to demand change. As school leaders we give our voices to this call for action. We come together out of compassion, responsibility, and our commitment to educate our children free of fear and violence. As school leaders, we pledge to do all in our power to keep our students safe. We call upon all elected representatives - each member of Congress, the President, and all others in positions of power at the governmental and private-sector level – to take action in making schools less vulnerable to violence, including sensible regulation of fi rearms. We are adding our voices to this dialogue as a demonstration to our students of our own commitment to doing better, to making their world safer.

  • Age-Friendly Park Programs: Lessons for Boston
    Age-Friendly Park Programs: Lessons for Boston A thesis submitted by Marymargaret Krey In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Urban and Environmental Planning and Policy Tufts University August 2016 Advisor: Mary Davis Reader: Barbara Parmenter Abstract The world’s population is aging and cities across the globe are trying to prepare to meet the needs of this growing population. Parks are an important part of an age- friendly city since parks provide numerous psychological and physical benefits to users. Yet older adults do not frequent parks as much as younger generations and often do not view parks as an important public health resource. Therefore, programs that encourage older adults to use parks are vital to change this mindset. My research reviews what is currently being done to make parks age-friendly, describes five effective types of recreational park programs for older adults and analyses how these programs can be expanded and replicated in cities like Boston. Using descriptive mapping, I apply this information to identify potential parks in Boston where age-friendly programs are likely to be successful. ii Acknowledgements I would sincerely like to thank my thesis advisor Dr. Mary Davis and reader Dr. Barbara Parementer for all of their advice, patience and flexibility. I am very appreciative for their willingness to work with me to ensure that I was able to finish everything on time despite my procrastination. I would like to also wholeheartedly thank all of the people who graciously agreed to be interviewed and provided me with wonderful information and advice.
