Equity and Inclusion Council attends leadership retreat

The Equity and Inclusion Council had its first leadership retreat in mid-January, where they began to take a deeper look into their leadership styles, set goals for the year, and bonded as a group.  The council set its mission statement as, “We are a group of students whose shared purpose is to further promote belonging and agency by educating the student body, fostering community building, and promoting change.” During the retreat, they mapped their identities and explored how to translate it to leadership, and defined the council’s goals for 2022, said Upper School diversity initiatives leader Amaris White. Council members include freshmen Roman Russo, Ahalya Nambiar, Erin Jackson, and Shlok Mehta; sophomores Aleesha Adhami, Susie Stahl, Nathan Walker, Diana Zhang, and Magnolia Fan; juniors Emerson Rinaldi, Zara Asghar, Jack Ringel, Gigi Hawgood, and Clara Chen; and seniors Collin Chen, Santiago Rodriguez, Liam Belluso, and Rama Alshami.
