We often speak of the "Proctor community," yet we are also the sum of countless micro-communities. Student leaders invited students to a huddle recently to brainstorm the future of community service at the school.
Discussion touched on the challenges of available time, incentives vs. compulsory service and how a school-wide program can retain the essential qualities of Proctor.
Leaders scribbled copious notes that will be processed, discussed at length and hopefully evolve into formal proposals. Other communities to consider: these are inductees into the National Art Honor Society.

Pacific Palms Resort in Los Angeles, where Katrina Roski '94 and her dad just hosted a reception for friends of Proctor. Ed Roski is a part owner of the Lakers, and has been a leading supporter of the
Los Angeles Football Stadium project. He spoke of the time, resources and dreams that have to converge to make such a project a reality. While the different scale of that project and our dreams for improvements to Proctor athletics is immense, each will be realized through the commitment of people who value community.
