We recently welcomed Dr. Brian Greene – theoretical physicist, New York Times bestselling author and professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University – to campus as part of our Celebration of Leadership. Dr. Greene spoke to our upper-schoolers about science phenomenon and discovery, complete with interactive visuals from his work with an award-winning NOVA miniseries (view photos). Dr. Greene then answered questions from students before spending a fun and informative evening with Annual Fund leadership donors at COSI. To read a student's account of the visit, click here.
The 19th year of Organ Day for our seventh-graders took place in early November as Dr. Andy Bezant welcomed 10 doctors to his classroom. A total of three sessions brought the entire seventh grade class through the rotation that included interacting with lungs, ankles, leg bones and much more to help educate the students on how the human body is formed and processes.
