GUS BLESSING ’11 was one of 10 students inducted into
the University Scholars Program at Texas A&M University.
University Scholars are chosen for their academic leadership,
innovation, curiosity, and motivation. Gus was also elected
into the Texas A&M Student Senate, where he will serve as
a senator and a voice for the student body. Gus is a sophomore
international studies major and will intern with CNN
in Santiago, Chile, next summer.
JORDAN DEMARS ’10 spent
his Christmas vacation
visiting his parents in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. During
the visit, he completed
a two-day ascent of
Mt. Kinabalu, the tallest
mountain in Southeast Asia,
on the island of Borneo.
Jordan is a junior at
Tulane University.
Jordan is clipped into the world’s
highest via ferrata (Italian for
“iron road”) on Kinabalu for
some high-altitude excitement.
Last fall, CONNOR WATUMULL ’10, WEBB HORN ’10,
and WILL DICKSON ’10 had a mini-reunion in Boston,
Massachusetts. Hurricane Sandy sidelined Connor’s travel
plans, stranding him in Boston. His classmates rescued him
with a place to stay and a great chance to catch up. Webb and
Will attend MIT, and Connor, who worked in San Francisco
during the fall semester, attends Dartmouth College.
DEAN BUTLER ’11 completed his first year at the University
of Texas at Austin and is studying petroleum engineering.
Dean spent his summer working as a field engineer intern
with Merit Energy Company in Evanston, Wyoming.
DEAN ITANI ’11 was one of six Harvard students selected
to spend five days in Burma for a Youth Lead the Change
program. As a product of the Leadership Institute at Harvard
College, the program seeks to give middle school and high
school students the skills necessary to become instigators of
change in their communities. Dean was involved in creating
the curriculum and leading several of the workshops. He
credits his experience in Telos at St. Mark’s for developing
his leadership skills and enabling him to discuss and teach
leadership at a comprehensible, in-depth level. Dean is
a sophomore and serves as the editor-in-chief of the
Harvard Leadership Magazine.
