Milken’s Director of Summer Programs, Pat Colley, was recently invited to present to the full audience at the SPARC National Conference, which brings together independent school auxiliary professionals, summer program directors, and educational leaders from across the United States and around the world to collaborate and learn.
His presentation, “Building Summer from Scratch: Creating a New Doorway Into Our School,” explored the growth of Elevate! Summer at Milken during its first two summers. Pat shared how the Milken Way has shaped a summer community rooted in meaningful relationships, thoughtful hospitality, and belonging, welcoming more students and families into the Milken community each year.
