In the fall of 1989, David Brown, newly graduated with a B.S. from Cornell University, began his first full-time job as a math teacher at St. Andrew’s. Thirty-seven years later, after having filled countless roles at the school in the intervening years, he serves as Associate Head of School, a position he has filled for more than a decade. This past spring, the man who works behind the scenes to ensure that everything at the school runs smoothly, found himself thrust into the spotlight with the establishment of the David Brown Endowment. This endowed fund, created by an anonymous alumni family, will support faculty compensation and growth.

"We are so happy to honor David Brown's decades of service and leadership at St. Andrew's,” the family said. “He is a clear and supportive teacher, a wise and effective administrator, and a kind and approachable mentor for his students and colleagues. Mr. Brown's thoughtfulness, dedication, and humor for the past 37 years have made St. Andrew's a wonderful place to teach, learn, and grow."

This summer, Professor Charles C.Y. Wang, the Tandon Family Professor of Business Administration and MBA curriculum chair at Harvard Business School, taught St. Andrew's Upper School students a case-based program in digital markets, policy, and innovation, with support from Giveback Backpacks and Digital Sovereignty Alliance.

Hugh Kaine ‘27 shared this about the program: "At a school where a big focus in teaching is understanding and taking advantage of how our brains learn, we utilize the same discussion-based program as Dr. Wang. It was very helpful to see it used alongside the real-world applications of what I've learned from Mr. Ponitch's entrepreneurship class."

"This program challenges students to share their thoughts about the kinds of complex business and leadership decisions that don't have easy answers," said Gregg Ponitch, longtime teacher and faculty sponsor of the program. "Through the different case study discussions, they learn to think critically, listen carefully, and defend their ideas with evidence."

Faculty and staff have been hard at work during opening meetings to gear up for the school year! Earlier this week, they took a break to reconnect, rock their spirit wear, and participate in a variety of fun activities before school starts on Tuesday. We can't wait to welcome our students back to campus!

On September 1, the school year will begin for 730 students, 140 of which will be new to St. Andrew’s. They won’t be the only ones in their first year at the school. This week, new faculty and staff underwent orientation, and alumni may notice a familiar face returning full-time this year. That’s right, nine years after retiring, Gary Wyatt is returning for his 37th year at St. Andrew’s. This time around, Mr. Wyatt will teach art to preschool through second-grade students. Welcome home Mr. Wyatt, and welcome to all of our new faculty and staff.

Happy National Intern Day! Today we're celebrating St. Andrew's alumni who are spending their summer interning at organizations across the country. From an internship in the White House Office of the Vice President to corporate finance at the Bank of China to hands-on positions in mechanical engineering and veterinary medicine - our alumni are exploring an incredible range of fields this summer.

These real-world experiences are helping shape their future careers and giving them the chance to explore industries they may pursue academically or professionally. Congratulations to all of our interns - we're excited to see how these experiences shape what's next!

P.S. - Remember that your alumni connections are a great way to identify internships and other professional opportunities! Connect on our alumni LinkedIn group: https://lnkd.in/enYjs9gK

As co-founder and CTO of Daedalus Consulting, Hunter Warburton '14 (pictured on the left) is building custom, AI-augmented software for clients in highly regulated industries such as medicine, law, and accounting. After studying physics at Colgate University and working as a software engineer in Boston, Hunter teamed up with co-founder Johnny Gabriele (pictured on the right) to launch Daedalus about a year ago. Their former colleague, Joe Koenig (pictured in the center) later joined them as a business partner. Together, they're rethinking how businesses buy and use software.

Hunter’s company is unique in that it changes the dynamic of software purchasing at scale. Rather than a subscription model, businesses are getting self-hosted software they own, focused on how the particular company works.

"We don't rent it to them; we build it for them, and they own it," Hunter explains. If a client wants a feature tweaked or a workflow changed, his team can usually turn it around within a week. Just as important to Hunter and his team: teaching clients how to use AI confidently and safely in their own day-to-day work.
