SUMMARY:DEIB Foundational Series | What’s in a Name?
DESCRIPTION:This Foundational Series is designed for Ancients to engage in Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB) conversation and practice.

SUMMARY:Obidimma Olga Ibimina Okobi '94 Imagining Life Event
DESCRIPTION:The Alumnae Board is proud to present the Obidimma Olga Ibimina Okobi ’94 Imagining Life event for current MPS seniors. Imagining Life is an event that gives seniors the opportunity to hear from a small panel of Ancients about what they can expect from life after Farmington. Small group discussions will evolve into a free form conversation about the challenges and rewards of adulthood and how Miss Porter’s prepares its alumnae to shape a changing world. The objective is for students to hear from Ancients and learn that no two paths to a career are alike. It will also be an opportunity for students to learn about the importance of building and maintaining relationships\, both personal and professional.

SUMMARY:Ancient Book Club Discussion | "Admissions: A Memoir of Surviving Boarding School" by Kendra James
DESCRIPTION:“Early on in Kendra James’ professional life\, she began to feel like she was selling a lie. As an admissions officer specializing in diversity recruitment for independent prep schools\, she persuaded students and families to embark on the same perilous journey she herself had made—to attend cutthroat and largely white schools similar to The Taft School\, where she had been the first African-American legacy student only a few years earlier. Her new job forced her to reflect on her own elite education experience\, and to realize how disillusioned she had become with America’s inequitable system. \nIn ADMISSIONS\, Kendra looks back at the three years she spent at Taft\, chronicling clashes with her lily-white roommate\, how she had to unlearn the respectability politics she’d been raised with\, and the fall-out from a horrifying article in the student newspaper that accused Black and Latinx students of being responsible for segregation of campus. Through these stories\, some troubling\, others hilarious\, she deconstructs the lies and half-truths she herself would later tell as an admissions professional\, in addition to the myths about boarding schools perpetuated by popular culture. \nWith its combination of incisive social critique and uproarious depictions of elite nonsense\, ADMISSIONS will resonate with anyone who has ever been The Only One in a room\, dealt with racial microaggressions\, or even just suffered from an extreme case of homesickness.” \nREAD MORE\n
