I have always said it’s more impactful to be a scientist than to just Annual Report of learn science, and it’s more gratifying to be a Philanthropy at AC 25 writer than to just learn about writing. Now, we have created opportunities for students who want to take an idea from concept to completion and be entrepreneurs. The fun part? Students as young as Lower School ages are becoming writers, scientists, artists, and, yes, entrepreneurs. As we expand our authentic experiences and provide leading edge educational opportunities that are hard to fnd anywhere else, you will notice we have also expanded our fundraising efforts. The response to our request for support has been overwhelming, and I am grateful. We fnished our 2016-2017 year with another “win” raising over $885,000 for the frst time ever in a non-gala year. As you will read in this issue, we have raised nearly $3M toward a $4M goal for our Impact Initiative Campaign. I am humbled by the generosity of everyone who has supported the vision for AC. The momentum is exciting, our vision is bold, and I hope you will all continue to help us catapult past our $4M goal as soon as you are ready, and hopefully by June 2018!

AC will be a thriving, diverse community of learners who engage locally and internationally to create opportunities to design, imagine, learn, and make a positive impact. - Vision Statement, 2015 A whole new way of thinking Introducing AC’s Center for Entrepreneurship

Following nearly fve years of astounding growth, comprehensive research, discussion, and engagement, we are excited to announce the launch of the new Allendale Columbia Center for Entrepreneurship. Grounded in our vision to be a thriving, diverse community and a hub for design, innovation, and entrepreneurship, we have been committed to creating a Center for Entrepreneurship for all students. The frst of its kind in our region and one of only a few in the world, AC’s Center for Entrepreneurship will create opportunities for our youth to make a global impact at an unprecedented level by learning to adapt to a constantly evolving world, connecting globally, and carving their own path. This authentic way of thinking, and the ability to apply their mindset to real-world challenges, will help our students develop universally applicable and transferable skills. Amy Oliveri, the new Director of the AC Center for Entrepreneurship, strongly believes in the practical applications of the skills the Center has to offer. “Entrepreneurial thinking ... this skill set, this style of learning and working is universally applicable. Students can use these skills in any career. Coming up with new ideas is crucial; in this new and changing economy and world, we need people who can think on their feet and who can solve problems.” The Center aligns with the strengths of AC as we continue to develop resilient students who dare to take risks and make a positive impact on their community, even before they graduate from high school. AC has spent years working with entrepreneurs from around the region and the world who actively engage with our students on the topic of entrepreneurship. Now, in addition to working with entrepreneurs who come to campus, we are creating relevant coursework, authentic one-of-a-kind opportunities for students to pursue social entrepreneurship independently. Perhaps most importantly, we are creating a path for young entrepreneurs to develop their own mindset and skillset to be successful in the years beyond AC. “We believe our world needs innovative, creative, thoughtful people who look at problems as exciting challenges to be solved,” Oliveri reminds us. “It needs people who never lose their sense of wonder - the dreamers, who think empathetically and care for the world around them.” Our students demonstrate that they are ready and excited for it. “We strive for the ideas that we need, that we think will help, and we try to push ourselves to achieve them,” Cynara Nelson ’21 shared. “It gives you a sense of responsibility, something you will need for your entire life.” According to Ariane Baer-Harper, Director of the AC Center for Global Engagement, there is a natural synergy between the vision Oliveri has to offer opportunities for students to develop an entrepreneurial mindset and the vision she has to create opportunities for students to become empathetic global citizens. “If students are already

www.AllendAleColumbiA.org 4 year, AC will offer students several new introductory courses that will serve as prerequisites as the program expands. Students are required to frst develop a foundational understanding of fnancial literacy, including personal and business fnance. After acquiring this crucial knowledge, students will have a unique opportunity to literally develop their own entrepreneurial mindset in a new course: From Mindset to Skillset. They will also have the chance to explore all aspects of social entrepreneurship with a strong emphasis on understanding B-Corps and nonprofts as well as empathy and design thinking. In future years, AC students will go beyond learning how to develop funds for social causes, start businesses, and earn profts as they partner and engage with larger community-wide efforts to make a real impact in our region and the larger global community.

“We knew we wanted to intentionally create opportunities for students to become creative, resilient young entrepreneurs, before they even graduate from high school. We knew we would realizing at a young age how important it is to put yourself in the shoes of another person with whom you are trying to work, then need to facilitate relevant and authentic these are the future leaders, building and inventing things and experiences to make it happen.” being innovators, not just with peers in their own classroom, but with people on the other side of the world.” Today, as the education landscape changes more rapidly than, perhaps, ever before, AC is focused on becoming a thriving, diverse community of learners who engage locally and internationally to create opportunities to design, imagine, learn, and make a positive impact. “We knew we wanted to intentionally create opportunities for students to become creative, resilient young entrepreneurs, before they even graduate from high school. We knew we would need to facilitate relevant and authentic experiences to make it happen,” said Mick Gee, Head of School. “Amy Oliveri understands this and has been instrumental in making this launch a reality for AC. I am confdent we are going to be offering our students meaningful opportunities that are hard to fnd elsewhere for this age group.”

Oliveri agrees. “You need to be a designer who researches and works through all the areas of S.T.R.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Research, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) as you are thinking about a product. You need to be globally minded and universally empathetic as you think about creating a new business and think about your customer base. You need entrepreneurial skills if you are traveling globally and tackling global challenges. It’s important to have S.T.R.E.A.M., global engagement, and entrepreneurship all connected.” Expanding on a very successful Innovation Day on April 28th, 2017 (more on pages 7-8), the Center for Entrepreneurship will launch this fall with quite a bit of momentum. Within the frst

I can’t wait to have our students thinking and working as global entrepreneurs. We are always looking ahead to “If you are someone who can solve problems and think about possible partnerships; the sky is the limit.” solutions to problems differently, and you can work innovatively, then you could work just about anywhere. You could do just about anything. On getting involved: College programs, especially those seeking entrepreneurs, are looking “A great way to get involved is to be a mentor. I would love to for students who can solve problems, get their hands dirty, and really connect our students with alums and entrepreneurs, to get them understand an issue. We want to graduate students who are capable talking. You don’t have to be in Rochester, you just have to think like of doing those things, students who are big thinkers, empathetic, really an innovator and want to engage with our students; you just have intuitive, and can persevere to present solutions or actually solve just to want to contribute to this movement. Whenever you can talk to about any problem that comes their way.” somebody else with a different idea, different skillset, different opinion, On entrepreneurship making an impact: and really listen to their feedback, there is critical learning happening, and we want more of that for every student before they graduate.” “Many consider entrepreneurship solely from the traditional standpoint, namely that it’s about business. At AC, we look at entrepreneurship as a developing mindset, especially in terms of problem solving and learning from failure. We take time to develop empathy in our students, which is a really important soft skill, and we also look at systems that can hold people back, or make a huge change in someone’s life. As we teach the soft skills, we are helping students start to understand those broken systems so that they can identify and make changes in those places where change is so needed. We look at healthcare, government, education, and then think about how we can apply that thinking locally, regionally, or even globally.” On keeping it real: “Real learning is based in the real world. For example, I come from the art world; you can’t learn how to be an artist by sitting and watching someone tell you how to be an artist. You really have to put pencil to paper, take photographs, shoot video, edit; you need to actually do those things in order to learn how to master the skills and produce artwork. This is going to be one of the most hands-on, authentic programs that we’re able to offer our students, because they will be doing. They will be making. They will be thinking big and putting ideas into action. I envision our students taking control of and guiding what happens in the classroom as they begin to see what is possible – as they design products, create businesses, or launch social ventures.” On learning from failure: “If you ask a kindergartener how to do something, they’ll tell you 50 different ways to do it. And they will all be amazing and incredible. If you ask a middle schooler how to do something, they’ll give you the standard answer and ask, ‘did I get it right?’ They want to succeed. And, at that age and stage they don’t see failure as being successful. I see failure as being extremely successful, because when you’re failing, you’re learning. So, we are teaching students how to think in ways they don’t normally think. You have to create an environment and a mindset where failure means success. You have to give them the skills to override that voice in their head that’s telling them, ‘No, that’s not right.’ In order for them to develop those skills, they have to experience it and refect on it.” www.AllendAleColumbiA.org 6 Innovation Day

We are exposing students to global opportunities and multicultural perspectives in preparation for college and the global workforce and creating a culture of global responsibility, allowing students to make a positive and lasting impact on the world they will inherit. This year we offered students the opportunity to travel to China, India, and Nicaragua. We are graduating students who have experienced the world, have studied multicultural perspectives, developed global empathy, and are ready to be global leaders. The Center’s goal is to create a curriculum that provides students with individualized and meaningful experiences, allowing them to foster global understanding and empathy. In the Upper School, students have the opportunity to work to- ward the Global Engagement Diploma, requiring them to partici- pate meaningfully in service and cultural opportunities both locally and abroad.

After being asked to deliver the Commencement address, I was terrifed. I wondered whether I would have anything to say. I have been a teacher of computer science for many years; maybe, just maybe, I thought I could fnd a principle from computer science that can be applied to common life. I searched my memory for often repeated words spoken to the young people in my classroom. Many of my programming students should recall my reminder to “pay attention to the boundary conditions.” Boundaries in a program exist between two or more “known states of a solution.” Things get tricky at a boundary because this is precisely where the states fuctuate and change. How well a programmer thinks about and handles such conditions determines much of whether the program is successful or not. We encounter many boundaries in regular life. These lines help us to defne the separation of the known from the unknown, the comfortable from the uncomfortable, the safe from the dangerous… you get the point. Today, I would like to speak briefy on the boundaries that defne our sense of self. Inside this perimeter reside the beliefs, values, and principles upon which we base our identity, and outside are those that do not. I believe how each of us handles these edges determines much of our character and quality of life. They are worthy of our attention. I believe these intellectual and emotional boundaries should be permeable, rather than rigid and closed. By this, I mean we should engage the world in a dance of give-and-take. We should reach out for new, different, uncom-

A member of every class but two from 1944 to 2016, 71 years of graduating seniors, contributed to the 2016-17 ACTogether effort for the Annual Fund for Allendale Columbia School. For that, everyone who attends or works at Allendale Columbia is most grateful. The Class of 1997, celebrating their 20th reunion, had the highest percentage of classmates contributing (42%), and they tied with the Classes of 1955, 1959, and 1982 for the largest number of donors (11). The 1997 class rep, Bryan Perkins, was most proud of their accomplishment. Congratulations to Bryan Perkins and the class of 1997!

The wood carv- The best 1st grade teachers ing not only depicts the essence of Allendale Columbia in 1990, but also cel- any student could have! ebrates the spirit of Edie Lunt Small. Her classmates, alumni, and parents past by Krosstrading Enterprises and present will remember her always for her beautiful depiction of Allendale Columbia School during its Centennial Year in 1990. According to close friend Nancy Lee ’48, “Her art gave her great joy, and this piece shows that. It speaks for itself.

47 BEYOND THE BIRCHES FALL 2017 We are appreciative of the following donors Remembering Bob Silver who have supported these specifc initiatives. AC Now Scholarships Allendale Columbia lost one of its best this summer. Bob Silver ’42 embodied what it (Gifts given to the Annual Fund with special means to be a “gentleman.” He was a man whose service to others was limitless. designations for current-use scholarship needs) My enduring memories of Bob often center on his passion for amateur athletics. Lisa Barnes § Bob worked tirelessly in support of Olympic hopefuls from the Rochester area, the Mr. and Mrs. Bruce B. Bates afterschool youth sports at Quad A for Kids, and The Boys and Girls Club leagues. And Patricia Bentley Hoke of course, Bob was a fervent fan of HAC teams, especially basketball. No doubt his own Suzanne R. Biemiller ’83 athletic career formed his lifelong love of sports. An old Allendale yearbook photograph, Lynette ’66 and Jim Blake a black and white team portrait in what are now quaint uniforms, shows a young Bob at the center, the beaming player holding the basketball. A regular at the evening games in Douglas Boss ’81 the Gannett Gym, Bob was quietly knowledgeable about the key skills of sports and the Charles Bradford ’99 † tactics of coaching. But he also exemplifed the virtues of fair play, respect for opponents, Diane § and Michael Broberg and the sheer joy of witnessing an excellent display of physical talent. He supported Lisa † ’83 and Paul Campbell individual players in untold ways, and when the boys’ basketball team won the 2004 Dr. and Mrs. Dmitry Chuprun Sectional title, there wasn’t a prouder person in the Blue Cross Arena. Cleary Family Fund Bob’s pride in Allendale Columbia led him to support the school in a multitude of other Michael Crews ’94 roles, too. My favorite remembrance of his service is an alumni project he undertook, The DeLuccio Family one that I came to call “The Silver Report.” We were seeking to demonstrate the impact Kenneth Dens and Mary Beth Conway † of the school on its young alumni. Bob undertook the challenge, and he did it in typical Stephanie DePaul-Pragel § and fashion. He just got on the telephone and singlehandedly tracked down alumni in college Dennis Pragel and recently out of college, many of whom were “lost” to the Alumni Offce. He spoke Mr. and Mrs. Steve Dubnik in a personal and meaningful way with over a hundred alumni and learned about their lives in the frst decade after their graduation. What he reported was a stunning record Nancy L. Fassett § of success as measured by preparation for college classes, timely degree completion, Gavin Flood ’16 extensive collegiate activities, frequent graduate study, and meaningful employment. It Jane Laskey and Thomas Flood was a longitudinal study that only Bob could have assembled, and he exuded pride in Peter ’03 and Kaleigh Gregory the young people it described. And those alums, and all who knew Bob in any way, are Frank Grosso elevated because of his life.
