St. Andrew’s will once again be the site of a regional education gathering. Next Friday, January 24th, over one hundred students and faculty will attend the first annual, Diversity in the DMV Conference led by our own Rodney Glasgow, Head of Middle School.

Conference activities will include discussion groups on topics such as race, privilege, and sexual orientation with the hope of creating deeper understanding of some of the diversity issues in independent schools.

The conference will be led in part by ten US student facilitators from SAES, as well as nationally known adult facilitators. The adult faculty participants will attend a session on diversity and the brain, led by Glenn Whitman, Head of the Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning (CTTL), Dean of Studies, and Stacy Kincaid, Director of Diversity.
