Last day of 2020! What better way to wrap up a year unlike any other than with one final collection of photos documenting our Warner students’ 2020 experiences. Pictured below (l-r) are: Higher ed master’s student Jacob Miner studying with Warner from Orange County, southern California! I can't wait to see all of my new Warner friends and colleagues as soon as it is healthy to do so, he says. Master’s student Jennifer Northrup on her first day here at Warner as a maste...r’s student in applied behavior analysis (ABA) and human development. After raising a family, she decided it was time to return to her passion for learning. While I’d long been looking forward to learning in-person, I’m determined to make the best of the online education made necessary by COVID, she says. Master’s student Victoria D'Agostino taking a study break to enjoy a trip to the Seneca Park Zoo for ZooBoo with her family: husband Troy, Finley (2), and Waylon (8 months). Thank you, Warner, for sharing your 2020 world with us! May the new year bring peace, happiness, and success! || #Warner2020

A country can only earn the love of all its citizens by making good on its commitment to advancing equal justice and opportunity for everyone. Schools can best inspire patriotism by being good and welcoming places for all children, where they are accepted as equals, experience progress in their lives, and learn to cooperate and work with others as diverse as society itself, write Professor Randall Curren, who holds a joint appointment at the Warner School and chairs the University of Rochester’s philosophy department; and Professor Charles Dorn, who chairs the education department at Bowdoin College. They are the authors of "Patriotic Education in a Global Age" (University of Chicago Press, 2018).
