Thank you Sophia Paris and Miss Porter's School for hosting the SPARC, Summer Programs and Auxiliary Revenue Collaborative team on your beautiful campus today. It was wonderful touring the campus and seeing the Sarah Porter Leadership Institute and Institute for Global Education for Middle School girls in action! Check out their inspiring programs here: https://lnkd.in/eazG4B3E The Miss Porter’s students and ‘Ancients’ serving in staff and leadership roles that we spoke with were so impressive! Always wonderful to see colleagues in action! If you can, make the time to visit another school’s programs - always great to connect with fellow summer and auxiliary program directors and staff as well as a fun way to get new ideas and re-energize! #independentschools #auxiliaryprograms #summerprograms #leadershipdeveloment #professionaldevelopment #entrepreneurship #innovation
