Hadley Soutter Arnold ’82 Atima Lui ’08 Jake Barton ’90 Something big is coming… which one did you get? When faced with three great options, why pick one? Pick them all! That was ultimately our decision in choosing three fantastic cover images for the Winter 2018 Andover magazine. When we decided on the cover story “Tech for Good,” we knew we wanted to highlight alumni Stay tuned! who use their tech savvy to help others, and to connect these stories to the theme of our new campaign, Knowledge & Goodness. May 2018 After compiling a list of potential candidates, we asked colleagues for suggestions and even queried class secretaries. Of course, we ended up with an enormous list of interesting and diverse alums. So how to choose? The 10 alumni proﬁled—in our cover story and complementary feature—represent a variety of industries, from health care and ﬁnance to beauty and education. “Tech for Good” also showcases a trajectory of business models. Architect Hadley Soutter Arnold ’82 has recently created a new green tech solution that she hopes will address the problem of limited drinking water in the future. Atima Lui’s ’08 recently-launched company uses tech to allow women of every skin tone to access beauty and fashion items, and established designer Jake Barton ’90 pushes the boundaries of technology to tell meaningful stories. As for choosing the cover, each of the three photo options (two taken by Kezi Barry ’02 in NYC) were just too good, so we made an unusual decision: split our mail list three ways and publish three different covers with a common interior layout. This cover story is by no means an end point. Our new website, www.andover.edu/magazine, includes additional photos, content, and audio and video clips. If you have suggestions of other alumni whose work embodies “Tech for Good,” please share! As always, we welcome your comments and feedback.

Best,

Andover | Winter 2018 3 4 Andover | Summer 2017 The Oliver Wendell Holmes Library: The Story Continues Known brieﬂy as the Oliver Wendell Holmes Memorial Swimming Pool—when underground springs ﬁlled its excavation site—Andover’s much-anticipated library was completed in 1929. Some 23,000 books from nearby Brechin Hall, as well as gifts of rare and valuable volumes, initially populated the spacious new facility. “The library is the soul of an educational institution, around which and in which the other phases of its life should be centered,” said then-Phillips Bulletin editor and future Andover headmaster Claude Moore Fuess. Named for 1825 Andover graduate, doctor, and poet Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., the library was designed by famed architect Charles Platt as a key element of an early 1900s comprehensive campus renewal spearheaded by Thomas Cochran, Class of 1890. Much-needed renovations to the OWHL will begin later this year. See page 22 for more.

New Journal, New Book, New Name for the Peabody At the urging of Director Ryan Wheeler and in-line with goals of its namesake, the Peabody’s name was formally changed in November to The Robert S. Peabody Institute of Archaeology. Dropping the word “museum” from its name is significant in several ways, says Wheeler. It reinforces the primary focus of teaching and research, it clarifies the difference between other Peabody museums, and it addresses the misconception that the Peabody hosts public exhibitions. “While we are happy to have people come for tours and events, our current mission is to provide archae- ological and anthropological learning opportunities to the students of Phillips Academy,” Wheeler says. Other news from the Peabody includes: • The Journal of Archaeology and Education (JAE), an open-access, peer-reviewed, online publication— and the first of its kind to promote archaeology and education—was launched this past year and is hosted at the University of Maine’s Digital Commons. Conceived of by the Peabody Advisory Committee, the JAE is managed by a 20-member editorial board that includes faculty from colleges and experts from archaeology organizations and government agencies. “We’ve been really lucky to have archaeology built into the curriculum at Andover,” Wheeler says. “One of the things we hope to do with this journal is to foster some community-building with other schools and teachers.” • A new book edited by Wheeler and former Peabody director Malinda Stafford Blustain will hit bookstands later this year. Glory, Trouble, and Renaissance chronicles the history of the Peabody and the cutting-edge research done there from the 1930s to the 1970s. The book is available via pre-order on Amazon.

6 Andover | Winter 2018 Andover Hacks for the Win ANDOVER.EDU Redo Andover’s redesigned website was launched this past fall, marking the ﬁrst overhaul of andover.edu in nearly a decade. Featuring dynamic photography and video along with a clean, modern design, the responsive site “allows the Academy to engage with prospective students and families in new and exciting ways,” says Tracy Sweet, director of Academy communications. Two standout features are a master events calendar where users can see all Andover events—from athletic contests and performances to guest speakers and alumni events—in one place, and a “People of Andover” module, which highlights community members with stylized photos and pithy anecdotes. Along with digital agency Brooklyn United, a campus advisory committee led the project through a yearlong process of discovery, design, and development. Most remarkably, the new site “went on a diet,” shrinking from more than 1,700 pages to about 100. This consolidation was the result of a strategy based on audience research and implemented with the goal of keeping Mike Barker the site relevant to those who engage most frequently with Andover online. Students are all smiles a er PA places rst in the Hack New England High Schools “We now have a website that reﬂects the modern Andover experience hackathon challenge. From le to right: Isabella Morona ’19, Amanda Li ’18, and and gives us the platform to recruit the next generation of Andover alumni,” Jocelyn Shen ’18. Sweet says.

Picture a room where more than 200 students pound away on laptops, ideas fly like rapid fire, and creativity is contagious. Welcome to Hackathon. In November, the second annual Hack New England High Schools (hackNEHS), run for high schoolers by high schoolers, drew teams from some 25 area public and private schools to the Microsoft Technology Center in Burlington, Mass. There, future developers and entrepreneurs brainstormed for 12 hours straight as they competed to produce innovative ideas, such as a map alert app that allows Free and commuters to personalize their travel experience, a open to all digital token system that enables paid peer editing, and high schools, a quick and easy way to get daily news headlines via an interactive world map. hackNEHS For the second year in a row, the winning team was started was from Phillips Academy. Darcy Meyer ’18, Miles in 2016 by McCain ’19, Alex Reichenbach ’18, Ihor Barakaiev ’20, and Nicholas Miklaucic ’19 created a hack called RAQ PA students. (Research, Aggregation, and Quantification), that clus- ters keywords within news articles and then measures the media’s positive or negative coverage of a topic. The PA team said their technology would be helpful to anyone seeking a deeper analysis of news content. “A hackathon is all about collaborative invention under fire,” explains Mike Barker, director of Academy research, information, and library services. “No matter what level students are at, or their ability to code, HackNEHS offers a lesson in resourcefulness, resilience, and about working with a team.” Free and open to all high schools, hackNEHS was started in 2016 by PA students who wanted to create a gathering place for like-minded peers to dive deeper into coding and watch their tech ideas—programming, websites, apps, games, robots, and more—come to life. At the end of the day, judges provide feedback and prizes, such as drones, smart watches, and grants to further develop ideas. Each member of this year’s winning PA team took home an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset.

10 Andover | Winter 2018 Exploring Themes of Citizenship

How do we de ne citizenship? By place of birth? By longevity or passing a test? What are the requirements of citizenship? Who determines citizenship and how? Recognizing the richness and complexity of this term, PA chose citizenship as an academic theme for this year, asking faculty to incorporate topics into curricula and discussion themes. In the following pages, three instructors explore citizenship as it relates to their scholarship, interests, and personal lives.

by Elizabeth Meyer

Plato believed that the ideal city was one the belief that all citizens have a responsibility governed by true philosophers who would to promote the good of the commonwealth be educated in the skills necessary to act and must be educated in order to do so. as benevolent guardians of its citizens. Thomas Jefferson built upon these ideas He described that education in book VII when he founded the University of Virginia. of the Republic, beginning with guided When Jefferson called the curriculum play and culminating in what we might call “liberal,” he was referring not only to its “interdisciplinary studies,” the stage at which generous scope and freedom from religious students were expected to bring together doctrine, but also connecting its purpose the isolated studies they had pursued as to government. Since only the free—not the enslaved—ever had the rights of citizenship, “liberal arts” (from the Latin ars, artis: “skill,” and liberalis: The Liberal Arts “appropriate for a free person”) became the term for curriculum that was considered essential for preparing Produce the young people to fulfill their civic responsibility.

the campaign, we’re hoping to raise $110.5 million for this priority and endow 80 percent of our student aid program. JOSEPH BAE: Financial aid is also the bedrock of what creates our diverse community on campus today. Our commitment to need-blind admission in JOSEPH Y. BAE ’90 2008 was a seminal moment. For individuals who receive nancial aid like I did, it’s obviously a life-changing momentwhen you have access to an exceptional place like Andover. For the Academy, the bene ts are enormous as well. We have the chance to nd some of the most gied, curious students from all corners of the United States and the world. at creates a very dierent experience today than perhaps 20 or 30 years ago, both in terms of the demographics of today’s kids and the diversity of experiences that they bring to campus. With over half the kids at Andover now receiving nancial aid, it is an enormous commitment that the institution has made to support this program.

Can you share more about the building projects the campaign PETER L.S. CURRIE ’74, P’03 will make possible? Why are these projects a special focus of Knowledge & Goodness? AMY FALLS: Andover has always prioritized people: our talented students and world-class faculty. But there comes a time when you have to have adequate facilities so that they don’t become a hindrance to what you’re trying to accomplish. e building projects we’ve identi ed, particularly for the library, athletics, and music, are infrastructure enhancements that will enable us to beer serve our students and faculty and the aspirations we have. PETER CURRIE: e Oliver Wendell Holmes Library renovation is signi cant herenot only for the monetary investment we’ll make as an Academy, but AMY C. FALLS ’82, P’19, ’21 also for the impact we’ll see as a result. e last renovation occurred before the Internet, and today we have a fantastic opportunity before us. Libraries were, historically, a warehouse of volumes. And libraries competed based on how many volumes they had. But that’s not the right way to think about a library anymore. ere will always be books and there will always be quiet study spaces, but the library is actually more of a community hub. We want to create more communal and multiuse spaces and integrate classrooms for cross-disciplinary teaching. e Tang Institute will have a new home there, and Andover’s Archives and Special Collections, including

18 Andover | Winter 2018 the Knafel Map Collection, will be much more prominent. Similarly, the makerspace, or “Nest,” will double in size and incorporate a new robotics lab. All these changes will facilitate the concept of “connected learning.” We’ll create a smarter structure that places agency in the hands of our students and faculty, giving them the tools to collaborate and explore advanced concepts together.

How will other campus enhancements, such as the proposed music building, enrich the student experience? JOSEPH BAE: is is another project that has long been necessary. We have such a vibrant music and performance program at Andover, and today we are using many of the same facilities we had when I was a student in the 1980s. A large number of today’s students count the performing arts as a major part of their extracurricular activities, and there’s a growing need within our community for more practice rooms, beer performance venues, and beer teaching spaces. Our goal is to build a rst-rate music facility that allows our students to fully optimize their passion for and interest in the arts. e Andover community can also expect to see a new aquatics center rise on campus thanks to the Knowledge & Goodness campaign. As with the OWHL renovation and the new music building, the aquatics center fullls a distinct need. We want to give our students the best education and experience possible, and we need to ensure that our facilities give them every opportunity to learn and to succeed.

Every donation is being put to good use, and every JOSEPH Y. BAE ’90 investment is being well managed. Campaign Chair How is the Knowledge & Goodness campaign already making an impact at the Academy? JOSEPH BAE: We’ve made a tremendous amount of progress in engaging the Andover community of alumni, parents, and friends, and our students and faculty are experiencing the impact of this campaign rsthand. e new Snyder Center is a great example of this. Our state-of-the-art athletic complex was made possible by early campaign gis, and it’s a wonderful and tangible expression of our campaign. e Snyder Center opened earlier this winter and features a 200-meter track, 12 squash courts, and multiuse space for tennis, basketball, and many other sports. It’s an excellent facilityand I hear the students simply love it. It’s great to see. PETER CURRIE: e new Sykes Wellness Center was also funded through initial campaign support, and it’s been a terric addition to campus, combining medical and psychological services in one central location. But it’s more than just the buildingthe programmatic elements around the Sykes Wellness Center are providing the life skills kids need.

20 Andover | Winter 2018 You can’t pick up a magazine or newspaper without reading some article on the stress that kids are undergoing. It’s an unhappy situation, but the fact of the ma er is that we need to teach kids coping skills, and we need to do that at Andover. And one of these lifelong skills, in addition to being independent and an independent thinker, is managing stress. e Sykes Wellness Center is doing an excellent job taking care of today’s students, and that’s all possible because of campaign support.

How can everyone be part of Knowledge & Goodness? AMY FALLS: is campaign is very much about breadth, and we will not achieve our goals unless a very large percentage of our community participates. is is why supporting the Andover Fund is a key priority in the campaign. Loyal givingdonating to the Academy each and every yearthrough the Andover Fund is a great way to become involved. More than anything, we need the Andover community to come together and help the institution fulll its promise. For many of us, the Academy is frozen in time. But it’s constantly evolving, and I invite everyone to learn about and experience Andover today. JOSEPH BAE: e Academy is indeed evolving. And our Alumni Council is continuing to tell this story and broaden engagement around the country and the world. We want alumni, parents, and friends to a end events in their region and have a substantive dialogue with usand perhaps, for some, to reconnect with Andover for the rst time in a long time. PETER CURRIE: I think it’s important to think of the work that needs to be done for today’s students and for society. And maybe that gets us back to knowledge and goodness. Every time I pick up the Andover constitution or quote from it, I’m struck by the foresight of our founders. e Academy is still living these values. Andover continues to combine knowledge and goodness in the right ways today. 

If you listen carefully, you may be able to hear, ever so faintly, the roar of fans from decades past. They are cheering on young athletes from swimming to volleyball to basketball. Thousands of students have trained and competed in Borden Gymnasium and Case Memorial Cage through the years, and thousands more will compete in the new Snyder Center, which opened this winter. “We called Borden Gymnasium and Case Memorial Cage home for generations, but they no longer accommodate our students or our programs,” says Leon Modeste, athletic director. “Our students are dedicated to every aspect of wellness, practice, competition, and sports- manship, and they need space that matches the commitment and excel- Andover Archives lence we expect from them.”

VISIONARY SOLUTIONS FOR INFANT BLINDNESS ABOUT Time is crucial for babies born with Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), a devastating degenerative eye disease. The condition, most commonly seen in premature babies, must be treated within 48 hours or else the child will experience severe vision loss or blindness. In the Vision Center at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), Dr. Thomas Lee is pioneering technology to diagnose and treat eye disease in premature babies. TECH Imaging technology makes it possible to accurately screen for signs of severe ROP by sending pictures of a baby’s eyes to an image-reading center for evaluation. Lee pioneered the use of Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) to identify retinal detachments at the earliest possible stage. The telemedicine program Lee adopted at CHLA links to several remote California and Nevada hospitals, allowing Lee and his team to diagnose and quickly treat patients in need of urgent care. The technology is also making life-changing eye surgeries possible for infants 7,000 miles away in Armenia, where Lee has trained surgeons, observed procedures, and owen tripp ’97 communicated with doctors in real time—all remotely.

Negotiating RACE & BELONGING

by Jasmine Mitchell ’99 “Where are you from?” asked the girl sitting next to me at orientation as she scrunched her nose to discern my facial features. “Brooklyn!” I proudly responded. “No, where are your parents from?” she insisted. “Philadelphia and Bucks County, Pennsylvania,” I replied. Dissatisfied, she prodded, “I mean, what are you?” Like many people who do not fit into the imagined U.S. racial landscape of black-white binaries, I had already become accustomed to these questions. Indeed, as a mixed black teenager constantly misrecognized as everything from Filipino to Moroccan, I had a daily awareness of how race, ethnicity, and nationality were mapped onto my body. But what would this mean at Andover? At Andover, I found that “youth from every quarter” cohabited with entrenched white upper-class Submitted Photos privilege. I learned to navigate these new environs very carefully and developed strategies to etch out my own voice in multiple terrains. There were times when my difference as a non-white scholarship student was palpable. I was grouped with other black and brown scholarship girls for questioning when an item went missing in the dorm. I was suspected of plagiarism on an essay. I was told that another student from New York City could not come to my house in Brooklyn because it was too “dangerous.” And of course, there were the many supposed compliments about my “exotic” looks. While these situations were difficult to navigate, Andover offered a laboratory of possibilities and spaces to forge connections and share the complexities of identities and experiences. I now deeply appreciate the openness of the Andover community, the valuing of difference, and the utilization of discomfort for growth. I have yet to experience this in the same way anywhere else. (The teacher who suspected me of plagiarism not only apologized, but also became one of my closest mentors.) Looking back, I see that the Andover experience is the constitution of camaraderie and community through late-night dorm conversations, roundtable classroom discussions, chats on long cross- country training runs, and talks over dinner at Commons and at day students’ homes. My deepest friendships were forged at Andover; I see or talk to Andover friends weekly. I know that in almost any corner of the globe, I can find someone with Big Blue spirit who will welcome me with open arms. Andover is not a utopia; it is an experiment in what we can strive to be. Today when I am told that I don’t look like a college professor, when I am asked if I am my son’s nanny, when I am interrogated at the U.S. border, I know that these patterns of racism and inequality still persist. Alumni Out of the Blue features However, my experiences at Andover propelled me to articulate my own voice, to serve as a leader true Abbot- or Andover-related in communities, to bridge academic theory with lived experiences, and to unlock the potential of stories about issues of class, students from underrepresented groups. race, gender, religion, sexual As a college professor researching mixed blackness and gender in the Americas, I encourage my orientation, geographic origin, and/ students to constantly challenge themselves, to question knowledge, and to see themselves as or (dis)ability.
