Whit Mitchell 鈥�72, CEO & President of Working InSync and former renowned crew coach at Dartmouth, brought both humor and depth to the conversation. Reflecting on his time on the Hillside, Whit shared memorable and often funny stories that resonated with students while reinforcing a central theme: the importance of being a great teammate. Drawing from decades of experience advising CEOs and professional sports organizations, he emphasized that effective communication is not one-size-fits-all.

Through interactive exercises, Whit engaged students in exploring personality attributes, demonstrating how leaders must adapt their communication styles to bring out the best in individuals. His message was clear: understanding how others think and operate is essential to building strong, high-performing teams.

Michael Donaghey, Senior Director of Global Safety & Security at PayPal and former Deputy Chief Security Officer for the NBA, shared a compelling and deeply personal journey. From his days as a student-athlete at Brown University where he competed in both football and baseball to a career-altering injury that shifted his path, Michael spoke candidly about resilience, reinvention, and the importance of being a good teammate on the court and in life.

He went on to serve in the United States Secret Service, protecting two U.S. Presidents and traveling the world, before transitioning into leadership roles in professional sports and global security. Today, his work focuses on protecting people and organizations in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

Michael highlighted the growing sophistication of bad actors in the digital space and offered practical advice on how individuals can better protect themselves. His message underscored the importance of awareness, vigilance, and adaptability in a world where security challenges are constantly evolving.

Together, the panelists reinforced that the lessons learned through athletics teamwork, communication, perseverance, and leadership extend far beyond the field. Students left with a deeper understanding of how those skills can translate into meaningful and dynamic careers across industries.
The Pathways Series continues to provide South Kent students with unique access to alumni and industry leaders, offering real-world perspectives that inspire and inform their journeys beyond the Hillside.

Through a new pilot program, the North Campus afternoon work crew has taken on the challenge of growing decorative plantings on-site, creating a more sustainable, student-driven approach to campus beautification. The result is a full-circle effort. Flowers seeded, nurtured, and brought to life by students will ultimately be enjoyed by the entire community during some of the School鈥檚 most important moments of celebration.

Inside the hoophouse, students were tasked with a complex design challenge. They needed to expand production to include ornamental plants without sacrificing existing vegetable crops. Their solution was both efficient and inventive. By designing and constructing elevated growing platforms eighteen inches above the raised beds, they created a dual-use system that increases growing capacity while maintaining established yields.

Below, the original beds have been seeded with red clover, enriching the soil through carbon capture and supporting long-term ecological health. This layered approach reflects a thoughtful balance between productivity and sustainability.

Beyond the hoophouse, students have built two large seed-starting shelves equipped with LED grow lights. These systems have allowed them to begin cultivation earlier despite the challenges of a long and unpredictable winter. Ten varieties have already been started indoors and will soon transition to the hoophouse before making their way to Main Campus.

The program includes a vibrant mix of species, including begonias, Dusty Miller, coleus, dahlias, impatiens, nasturtium, salvia, zinnias, and dichondra. Together, these plantings will transform the campus landscape. This effort is made all the more meaningful by the fact that they have been grown by hand, on-site, by South Kent students.

This initiative represents more than seasonal preparation. It is a living example of student ownership, sustainability in practice, and the enduring connection between North Campus and the broader life of the School.

Arriving on the Hillside from Louisiana, Chris has fully embraced the boarding school experience, developing into a confident and mature student leader. Both on and off the court, he has exemplified dedication, resilience, and character, using his time on the Hillside to prepare for the challenges and opportunities ahead. On the court, Chris brings elite athleticism combined with knockdown 3-point shooting, making him a tough matchup on both ends. He rebounds at a high level and runs the floor extremely well in transition, creating constant pressure.

Chris鈥檚 growth on the Hillside is a direct reflection of South Kent鈥檚 individualized approach to player development. Through tailored and consistent training and a focus on both skill refinement and basketball IQ, he has used his time here with intention. That commitment has shaped him into a confident, mature player who understands the game at a high level and leads by example, fully maximizing every opportunity along the way.

鈥溡松� is fortunate to have Chris on the Hillside and to feel the impact he has made on our basketball program. He鈥檚 an exceptional player and an even better young man.

Arriving on the Hillside as a Third Former from his home in Latvia, Rutulis has fully embraced the boarding school experience, developing into a confident and mature student leader.

Through the remarkable leadership of the Class of 1974 and additional South Kent donors, every dollar awarded unlocked a 2:1 match. Now, with $428,000 already raised, the Class of 1974 has set a powerful standard of commitment to this program鈥檚 success.

Rooted in South Kent鈥檚 Trinity of Values, Simplicity of Life, Self-Reliance, and Directness of Purpose, Cardinal Strong is designed to equip students with the emotional intelligence, coping strategies, and leadership skills necessary to navigate the increasing pressures of modern adolescence. As outlined in the School鈥檚 grant proposal, the program provides structured emotional resilience education for students in grades 9鈥�12, alongside faculty training, media literacy instruction, alternative wellness experiences, and expanded access to counseling support.

鈥淎t South Kent, we believe resilience is not incidental. It must be taught, modeled, and practiced,鈥� said Brian D. Sullivan, Head of School. 鈥淭he Edward E. Ford Foundation鈥檚 investment affirms that preparing young men for life requires more than academic rigor. It requires intentional formation through emotional literacy, healthy masculinity, and the courage to seek help when needed. We are profoundly grateful to the Class of 1974 and our alumni community for stepping forward to ensure this work moves forward at full strength.鈥�

With this funding, Cardinal Strong will expand key partnerships with organizations that provide structured programming in emotional resilience, stress management, and leadership development. The grant will also support media literacy training to help students navigate digital stress and misinformation, faculty professional development in mental health awareness, guest speakers and workshops, and access to consulting clinical neuropsychological support for students who may otherwise lack resources.

The initiative aligns directly with South Kent鈥檚 core competency framework, particularly its emphasis on Emotional Resilience, defined by the School as the ability to manage adversity, regulate emotions, and maintain a positive and disciplined outlook in the face of challenges.

The Edward E. Ford Foundation, long recognized for strengthening independent schools nationwide, selected Cardinal Strong as a program that advances student well-being in a proactive and sustainable manner. South Kent plans to deploy the funds over the next four years to build infrastructure, provide professional development, refine assessment tools, and position Cardinal Strong for long-term endowment support.

Beyond establishing the endowed fund for Cardinal Strong, this initiative will equip every South Kent student with structured resilience training, expand alternative wellness programming, integrate digital literacy into the curriculum, and ensure that no student is denied access to counseling resources because of financial constraints.
鈥淭he Class of 1974 understood immediately that this is not simply a program, it is a true commitment to the formation of young men,鈥� Sullivan added. 鈥淭heir leadership inspired others to join them. Cardinal Strong is a community-wide investment in character, health, and purpose.鈥�

As South Kent enters its second century, Cardinal Strong reflects the School鈥檚 enduring mission: to prepare young men to succeed in college and thrive as thoughtful, engaged citizens in an increasingly complex world.

Now based in Houston, Texas, Miller returned to the Hillside with a meaningful purpose: to film footage for an upcoming documentary on fellow South Kent alumnus Isaiah Thomas 鈥�08, a professional basketball player and 2x NBA All-Star. Having been part of an Emmy Award鈥搘inning multimedia project based in Seattle, Miller brought both high-level experience and creative insight to campus. The project not only provided students with real-world filmmaking experience, but also created a powerful full-circle moment for alumni and students alike.

For Miller, coming back to South Kent was about more than just the project.
鈥淭he Hillside had a profound impact on me, and this was just one way I could give back,鈥� he shared.

Throughout the experience, students were not simply observers; they were active collaborators. Miller encouraged them to think creatively, contribute ideas, and engage in the storytelling process.

鈥淭he students actually helped me a lot in the storytelling experience. I provided them the opportunity to have creative input, and in return, I received several great shots of the campus that I wouldn鈥檛 have captured 辞迟丑别谤飞颈蝉别.鈥�

In addition to gaining hands-on experience, students鈥� contributions may extend far beyond the classroom. The on-campus footage they helped capture, through camera operation, shot composition, and creative direction, positions them for inclusion in the film鈥檚 credits should the documentary be picked up by a major distributor such as ESPN or The Players鈥� Tribune. It鈥檚 a rare and meaningful opportunity for students to see their work recognized on a professional stage.

Moments like these highlighted not only the students鈥� growing technical skills, but also their confidence and creativity; qualities that are continually nurtured on the Hillside. Above all, the experience reflected the joy of the creative process and the supportive environment that makes it possible.

鈥淲e had fun. It鈥檚 fun to be creative, and I think SKS provides an environment where it鈥檚 safe to be yourself.鈥�

By blending professional-level work with student collaboration, this immersive course exemplified the kind of hands-on, meaningful learning that defines the South Kent experience, where alumni return to inspire, and students are empowered to create.
