What’s Happening at Milton?

Campus Spotlight: Seminar Day

The Keyes Seminar Day, a lively day of speaking engagements for Upper School students, has been one of Milton’s most important traditions since 1977. It is named in honor of its founder, former faculty member Peter Keyes, a legendary promoter of student interest in political process as well as public and governmental affairs and service. In the Milton spirit of developing students’ confidence and competence to live by our motto, “Dare to be true,” Seminar Day brings to campus people who have made compelling choices. Luminaries in the fields of science, public policy, technology, media, and beyond shared insights and ideas from their lives and careers, including biotech pioneer, entrepreneur, and educator Dr. Robert Langer, whose keynote address was made possible thanks to the donors to the Sarah Bowles ’56 Speaker Fund.

Stang Story: Reintroducing Stang Stories

In 2020, Teddy Ellis ’22 started Stang Stories, a student-produced podcast seeking to explore and share the life stories of esteemed Milton alumni with the broader Milton community. This year, as her senior project, Diane Asiedu ’24 revived the podcast and handed it over to a team of underclassmen she trained to keep it going. The first in Diane’s series of eight alumni podcast interviews was with Head of School Alixe Callen ’88. Listen now on the Stang Stories website, or find the series on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

Campus Spotlight: Senior Projects

Each May, seniors go “on project,” taking a deep dive into a topic they’re passionate about and sharing their success at the culmination of their work. This year’s seniors chose an impressive array of creative and innovative projects, including the renovation of a school bus into an R.V. for a cross-country road trip; the study of Brutalism and creation of a live model of the Nesto gallery; internships at local schools, businesses, and theatres; and the hosting of a Transgender Excellence Expo, to name just a few. Senior projects are a great opportunity for students to bridge their academic pursuits with real-world experiences, and the Class of 2024 did just that. Thank you to all of the alumni who worked with seniors on their projects. Pictured are Diane Asiedu ’24, Dianne Cao ’24, and Serhii Malevych ’24 with members of the Office of Development and Alumni Relations. For their senior projects, the three made valuable contributions to the office with their unique projects and talents while learning about Milton’s fundraising and engagement work.

Alumni Restore Milton’s Harkness Tables

Alumni Restore Milton’s Harkness Tables

Last week, Austin Vyas ’17 delivered a beautifully restored Harkness table to Milton just in time for the start of school. This restoration was part of a large, four-table project that Vyas took on as an homage to his career at Milton. Vyas shares, “As a 2017 graduate, I certainly benefited from the Harkness style of learning. I thought it very important to get back to that style of learning after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic had passed.” Vyas also had the help of his brother, Ryan Vyas ’19, in repairing the tables, and Evan Scales ’17 in documenting the project. You can see more photos of Vyas’ restoration work on his company Instagram page, @avyascarpentry.
