As the only Quaker school in our nation’s capital, it’s important that we continue to invest in our campus, programs, and community. We are contributing now so future generations will continue to grow and thrive in an ever-changing and challenging world.”
This campaign is a historic first step to unifying our campus and transforming the way our students learn and faculty teach. We have a unique opportunity to impact future generations of students and faculty. I am eternally grateful that Sidwell Friends shaped my life in countless ways, and we now have a role in ensuring that legacy of learning, friendship, and action continues.”
Sidwell’s unique combination of academic excellence in the Quaker tradtion gives its students both the intellectual force and the moral compass to make a difference in the world. We are pleased to support the Together We Shine campaign to benefit future generations to come.”
I want to give back to Sidwell Friends because Sidwell Friends gave so much to me. My values, goals, life choices, and countless other defining characteristics of who I am today has been influenced by my time at the School.
I hope that the projects undertaken by the new Center for Ethical Leadership will foster ties between Sidwell students, alumni, and families through service at Sidwell and beyond. Some of my very best Sidwell friendships these past 30 years have come about because of meeting and working on large and challenging service projects at the School.
Today, Sidwell Friends is on the verge of a historic transformation—one that will benefit future students for generations to come.
With more than 30,000 individual gifts, the Sidwell Friends community shines together.
