Aaron Mieszczanski is Director of Admission at Harvard-Westlake School. In this episode, Aaron speaks about his unique year in admission, both the challenge of not being able to welcome families to campus physically, but also the benefits of creating broader points of access through virtual engagement. In describing Harvard-Westlake's approach in evaluating applicants, Aaron is quick to point out that there isn't just one type of student that stands out in a Harvard-Westlake pool. “We seek cultural adds, not cultural fits,” explains Aaron, which this year means welcoming students from 175 zip codes and 250 sending schools across Southern California. Aaron points out how this is made possible by the indispensability of financial aid, which not only enables greater access and diversity, but maximizes the school's excellence. Aaron also speaks about growing up in The Bronx in a family of educators—attending Fieldston, Williams College, and receiving his Masters at Penn—and progressing through admission roles at The Thacher School in Ojai and University High School in San Francisco, before arriving at Harvard-Westlake in 2018. Aaron cites educators Kelvina Butcher of Ethical Culture Fieldston School and Bill McMahon of The Thacher School as profound life influences.

Episode 2 is here! We are so delighted to introduce our first guest, Akim St. Omer, independent school alum, advocate, educator, and Brunch Gawd (yep, he resides in Brooklyn!) This episode is about applying and enrolling in independent schools as an act of resistance for black and brown people. We were not originally part of the design. Yet, we are here and transforming and shifting paradigms and schools that are creating institutional plans to create communities that are just and value the presence and the contributions of black and brown people. In this episode, Gina and Sam talk with Akim about two Americas (we recorded the day after the insurrection at the Capitol), independent schools as a community, their role as a moral compass in educating our next leaders, the labor and expectations of our scholars|activists, and how applying families can gauge a school's culture and it operates. All of this in just over 30 minutes! Thank you, Akim, for articulating with us! And thank you, listeners, for your ear and for sharing Articulating - An Independent School Podcast with others!

At today's Round Table, Olivia Becker, a junior at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, and Jade Lozada, a senior at the High School for American Studies, discuss questions on their mind about media literacy, and lay out themes we'll explore over the next four episodes together, things like how often is media bias intentional vs unintentional? With what lens or scale should we judge how impartial a source is? how can people encourage the spread of unbiased news and what platforms exist that already do that? How can we get people beyond their social media echo chambers, especially when it's so easy to simply unfollow news and people we don't like? How can we counteract "Cancel culture"? How can we make it easy and necessary for people to seek out multiple perspectives? How do we bring attention to stories that seem too big to ignore (like the burning of the Amazon) and yet ARE being ignored? And, importantly, how do we keep people from opting out bc media engagement seems overwhelming or depleting? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nextgenpolitics/message
