He runs the Wednesday tour program that sends classes on various field trips throughout the region each week and oversees Episcopal’s Senior Seminar, a month-long internship program occurring every May. He explains, “Episcopal’s goal is to provide our students with unique opportunities – from studying freshwater ecology in local streams to discussing U.S. foreign policy at the State Department – in ways that broaden their educational experience and empower them personally.”
