As part of the advisory group, Vener will provide leadership by working with local staff in the community to help support the branch’s strategic direction and identify and address community needs.

According to Derek White, Executive Director of the YMCA of the Chesapeake, one of the goals of the group is to continue to be impactful in the realm of serving youth by creating a partnership with local schools to include water safety as a part of their physical education programs. “Vener was identified by the community as a prominent figure who can further these goals with his significant experience as an athletic director and coach,” says they White. Vener will also play a part in the YMCA’s annual campaign by identifying individuals who can help provide financial support for the organization’s programs and operations.

With more than 26 years of experience in education, Vener, who joined Wye River Upper School in 2012, holds a B.S. in Health and Physical Education, and an M.S in Instruction and Curriculum.

Golfing “fore” Gunston Spring Fundraiser to be held May 3, 2021

April 1, 2021 by Gunston School Leave a Comment

Jim Shifrin P’21 practices his swing at last year’s tournament.

The Gunston School will be holding a spring fundraiser, Golfing “fore” Gunston II, on Monday, May 3, 2021 at Prospect Bay Country Club in Grasonville, Md. The day begins with a continental breakfast on the patio overlooking the greens before teeing off with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. Refreshments and food will be served throughout the day, with opportunities to “Rent a Pro” for a little extra help. An awards ceremony will follow with prizes for First Place, Longest Drive, Closest to the Pin, and “Last Place” winners. Golfers will be vying to win prizes such as a Bat-Caddy X3R Remote Control Cart, Yeti Golf Bag, Under Armour gear, Pro Shop gift cards, and more. This year’s event includes activities such as lunch and tennis with a pro for those who may not golf, but would like to show their support by connecting with other members of the Gunston community.

Additionally, beginning on Friday, April 30, the Gunston’s Biddersnest online silent auction will go live, offering the chance to bid on items such as dinner for four and a golf simulator session, a full day Gunston Watershed Experience for a family of 4-6 plus lunch, professional photography sessions, a basket of gift cards to area restaurants, and a weekend getaway. Auction winners will be announced at the golf awards ceremony on May 3.

Karen Talbott P’20 ’22, Julie Gillespie P’21 ’24, and Lynda Scull (Executive Assistant for External Relations) working the registration table at last year’s golf tournament.

The inaugural Golfing fore Gunston in October 2020 was a sold-out event, with many asking for a second tournament in the spring. “Normally, we wouldn’t have two golf tournaments in the same year, however this has not been a normal year,” explains Head of School John Lewis. Gunston’s annual fall Bull & Oyster Roast provides $100,000 toward bridging the nearly $4,000 gap between tuition costs and what it actually takes to deliver the “Gunston Experience.”

“This year we were not able to have our signature event, so we are working to close our funding gap in non-traditional and atypical ways—like having TWO golf tournaments! In a year where indoor events are out of the question and outdoor gala events involve a myriad of restrictions, hosting TWO golf tournaments makes perfect sense,” Lewis adds.

Sponsorships and donations allow Gunston the ability to offer more than 60% of its students financial aid, as well as provide opportunities for students and faculty to travel to leadership conferences, robotic competitions, environmental trips, and more.

Golf registration is $175 per player or $700 per foursome. Sponsorships are also available and include the opportunity for businesses to get their name and logo in front of the entire Gunston community of students, parents, alumni, and local community members.

Tournament sponsors include Riggo Productions (The Pocock Family, P ’23) and Fred Frederick of Easton (Janell & Jeffrey Frederick, P ’23).

Visit https://www.gunston.org/golf21 to register for the outing or a sponsorship (or both!), or call Event Director Lynda Scull at 410-758-0620, ext. 1101 or email lscull@gunston.org.

Founded in 1911, The Gunston School is an independent, nonprofit, nonsectarian, coeducational, college preparatory high school located in Centreville, Maryland. Visit gunston.org for more information.

Gunston School Hosts Climate Change Panel Discussion on April 14

March 31, 2021 by Gunston School Leave a Comment

The Gunston School will host Critical Conversations: Educating Youth About Climate Change, a virtual presentation that is free and open to the public on Wednesday, April 14 at 7:30 p.m. featuring Elizabeth Rush, Tom Ackerman, and Gunston’s Head of School John Lewis. The panelists will discuss the importance of educating today’s youth about climate change and best practices in environmental education for all ages.

Elizabeth Rush is the author of Rising: Dispatches from the New American Shore, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction, and Still Lifes from a Vanishing City: Essays and Photographs from Yangon, Myanmar. A lecturer at Brown University, Rush’s work explores how humans adapt to changes enacted upon them by forces seemingly beyond their control, from ecological transformation to political revolution. Rush’s essays have appeared in the New York Times, Harpers, Granta, Creative Nonfiction, Orion, Guernica, Le Monde Diplomatique and others.

Photo: The panel features author and Brown University lecturer Elizabeth Rush (top), Head of School John Lewis (middle), and the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s Vice President for Education Tom Ackerman (bottom). 

Tom Ackerman is the Vice President for Education for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and has been instrumental in the founding and direction of several key organizations including the National No Child Left Inside Coalition, Maryland Environmental Literacy Partnership, and the National Advisory Panel on Environmental Literacy. Ackerman has partnered with some of the largest school districts in the United States, establishing over a dozen systemic environmental curriculum programs.

John Lewis, Gunston’s Head of School, will discuss Gunston’s commitment to climate science education, including a first-in-class climate science graduation requirement. Lewis’s work spans direct engagement with students during Gunston’s Chesapeake Bay Studies program and his climate science course, to consulting with peer institutions and running the summer conference, Environmental Leadership for Independent School Leaders.

“We’re not preparing students for a future crisis, but a crisis that is occurring as we speak,” says Lewis. “Education has not made adjustments to the reality and the scope of the challenge.”

Steve Kornacki

The 2020 election “map daddy” and #chartthrob Steve Kornacki joins the Starr Center this week for a conversation on political tribalism and more. Jointly presented by Washington College’s Starr Center and the Rose O’Neil Literary House, the event is scheduled for 5 PM on April 1.

Kornacki will talk about the 1990’s historical roots of our present-day politics from his book The Red and the Blue, as well as how our current tribalism mentality came to be. In addition to gaining fame recently as NBC’s electoral map guru who barely took a break during election night coverage, Kornacki’s articles have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Boston Globe, and Daily Beast, among others.

Kornacki’s marathon election coverage and his sensible khakis both earned national attention, as he famously stayed awake for 45 straight hours (fueled by Diet Coke), always appearing in his signature outfit. He was recently named to People’s Sexiest Man Alive list.

To join the discussion with Steve Kornacki, register here.  Registration is free and open to the public.

Katie Hood, the chief executive officer of the One Love Foundation, will deliver the keynote address during commencement ceremonies for Washington College’s Class of 2021. Under her leadership since 2014, the organization created in honor of Yeardley Love has become the nation’s leading educator of young people on the topic of relationship abuse.

The family of Yeardley Love, the University of Virginia student-athlete who died in 2010 at the hands of an ex-boyfriend, established the foundation to empower young people with the knowledge to identify and avoid unhealthy relationships before they escalate to physical violence. Yeardley, a Baltimore native who played women’s lacrosse, was killed three weeks before she would have graduated from UVA with a degree in political science. Her ex-boyfriend, also once a lacrosse player for UVA, is serving a 23-year sentence for second-degree murder.

Prior to joining One Love, Hood was chief executive officer at the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research where for nine years she worked to drive research progress toward a cure for Parkinson’s disease. She also worked as a philanthropic consultant and served as a visiting lecturer at Duke University’s Sanford School of Public Policy. Before discovering her passion for philanthropy, she held positions at both Goldman Sachs and Bain & Company.

Hood will receive the honorary degree, Doctor of Public Service.

The College’s 238th Commencement is set for Saturday, May 22 with a rain date of Sunday, May 23. The outdoor event is not open to the general public but will be live streamed for off-campus viewing. Details will follow.

WC-ALL winds up the Learn at Lunch programming for 2020-2021 with a special presentation by Chestertown-based husband/wife team Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr.

In this highly visual presentation, Swanson and Behr will present their new picturebook,  Sunrise Summer—a biographical recounting of their daughter’s first season as a member of the family fishing crew—and will talk about the process of creating a book, set-net fishing, off-the-grid living, free-range parenting, creative collaboration, and strategies for grizzly bear avoidance. Q&A to follow.

Author/illustrator duo Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr are the creators of the critically acclaimed middle grade mystery series Cookie Chronicles and The Real McCoys, and the picture books Babies Ruin Everything, Everywhere Wonder, and Sunrise Summer (April 2021).

At the Starr Center: “Freedom Riders” with Stanley Nelson

March 24, 2021 by James Dissette Leave a Comment

The March 25 Thursdays with the Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience offers a virtual film screening of “Freedom Riders” by celebrated director Stanley Nelson. A Q and A with Stanley Nelson will follow at 7 pm.

The year was 1961 and the Deep South was steeped in racial inequality when 400 black and white Americans challenged the Jim Crow laws of a segregated interstate travel system traveling by buses together. They risked beatings, imprisonment, and death to bring their message of non-violent protest to the wider world and to test the compliance of two Supreme Court rulings: segregated bathrooms, waiting rooms, and lunch counters were unconstitutional; it was unconstitutional to implement and enforce segregation on interstate buses and trains.

Of the many defining moments in the Freedom Rider’s journey through the South, the bus bombing and beatings in Anniston, Alabama stands at the apex of the brutality they endured. A 21-year-old John Lewis was one of the original 13 Freedom Riders on a second bus in Montgomery, Alabama attacked by the KKK and other white supremacists, a fate he would suffer many times in his life as he emerged as one of the country’s leading civil rights activists.

“Freedom Riders” (2010) is an extraordinary documentary of that year and how the movement forced the realization of racial injustice into the Kennedy White House and into the American living room.

A 2011 New York Times review stated, “It is hard to imagine a feature film conveying the events with a more vivid sense of drama or suspense. The commentators —the riders themselves, historians, politicians, civil rights leaders — have mostly been chosen for an uncanny ability to convey the tension in a present-tense reconstruction. Blowhards and professors of the obvious have been excised, and the archival photographs and news clips have been edited down to those most affecting and lyrical.”

Starr Center’s Digital Historian and Archivist Jasmyn R. Castro was instrumental in arranging the event. “When I attended NYU’s Moving Image Archiving and Preservation Master’s Program I was part of a student chapter of the Association of Moving Image Archivists that organized a screening and Q and A of “Freedom Summer” and we invited Stanley Nelson to attend.”

Castro thought “Freedom Riders” and its famous director would be an ideal presentation for the Starr Center. He happily accepted the invitation.

“A colleague of mine, Carmel Curtis, from Indiana University will act as moderator during the Q and A and I’m also excited to have found out that former Director of Kent Arts Council Leslie Raimond had archival video of Freedom Riders coming through Chestertown in the 1960s,” she says. The original footage has been cleaned and digitized and will be shown in the background of the question and answer session.

Reverend Brown of Chestertown, whose father welcomed the Freedom Riders to Chestertown will also participate in the discussion.

The Starr Center notes that “Stanley Nelson is today’s leading documentarian of the African American experience. His films combine compelling narratives with rich historical detail to shine new light on the under-explored American past. Awards received over the course of his career include a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, five Primetime Emmy Awards, and lifetime achievement awards from the Emmys and IDA. In 2013, Nelson received the National Medal in the Humanities from President Obama. In 2019 “Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool” was nominated by the GRAMMYs for Best Music Film. Nelson’s latest documentary, “Crack: Cocaine, Conspiracy, & Corruption” debuted on Netflix in 2021.”

The evening will begin at 5 p.m. ET with a free, two-hour screening of Nelson’s “Freedom Riders.” After a brief intermission, starting at 7 p.m., Nelson will share with us his professional insights about the film. A moderated Q&A with Nelson with conclude our time together. Join us for the screening at 5 p.m. and the conversation at 7 p.m. or just drop in for the conversation at 7 p.m.
