ADVANCEMENT NEWS Three New Members Elected to Board of Trustees At its June 2016 meeting, the Darrow School Board of Trustees voted to accept three new members, representing former students, faculty, and a parent. Pei Jing ’11 After graduating from Darrow, Pei Jing ’11 went on to earn a master’s of public policy from Brown University with a focus on education policy. She currently manages an education consulting firm in Beijing, China, that helps students and their parents form a better understanding of studying abroad today so they can make well-rounded choices, and guides them in the mentorship process after they enroll. A significant aspect of Pei’s motivation for joining the Board of Trustees is to help the School connect and reconnect with our recent Chinese alumni and to help direct prospective students to Darrow’s Office of Admission. She is also assisting Head of School Simon Holzapfel and Director of Institutional Advancement and General Counsel Lawrence Klein with planning for their March-April 2017 visit to Asia. Richard O’Leary P’11 Richard A. O’Leary P’11 (pictured above with daughter, Amelia O’Leary ’11) is vice president and chief human resources officer for Hopkins Manufacturing. Most recently, he was the corporate vice-president of human resources and chief human resources officer for Milacron LLC. His educational background includes a B.A. in sociology and a master’s degree in college counseling, both from the University of Delaware; and a doctorate in counseling psychology, from Western Michigan University. “Darrow is a special and rare place on this earth,” Rick said. “Students and faculty come together to create a community of learning where the expectations are high and the support even higher. I joined the board as a person who hopes to see the legacy of what Darrow is continue to evolve into a precious gift for future generations of students. Travis Shedd ’04 A resident of Arlington, Virginia, Travis Shedd ’04 went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in English from Willamette University after graduating from Darrow. Returning to the Mountainside as a faculty member in 2010, he recalled how “Darrow was the same for new teachers as it was for new students: welcoming, trusting, open, and dedicated.” Over the course of his four-year tenure, he taught English, Spanish, and Social Studies; coached varsity basketball and baseball; and served as head house parent, assistant theater director, tutor, advisor, Hands-to-Work crew leader, and Spring Term leader. Teaching at Darrow, he said, was “harder work than I’d ever done in my life, but I wouldn’t trade a second of it for anything.” Travis received a master’s degree in liberal studies from Georgetown University and now teaches middle school English at Flint Hill School in Oakton, Virginia.
