ALUMS ARE GIVING BACK AND HERE'S WHY!
Urban was a life changing place for me. I choose to give back to the school, because it shaped me to be the person I am today, and I am grateful. - Deedra Veerathanongdech ('03)
The Urban experience is one I value highly. I want it for my own child and I think every child on earth deserves such an opportunity. If, through our giving, we can help even one more family reach Urban or one more teacher stay at the school long-term, it will be a blessing. - Kate Jessup ('95) THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! A huge congratulations to Sam Mondry-Cohen ('06), who created the Washington Nationals' research and development department. Sam was promoted this year to Assistant General Manager, helping the team capture its first-ever World Series title! He was also featured in the New York Times on his data-driven, career-making approach to baseball. Congrats, Sam!
Jes Tom ('09), stand-up comedian and actor, was featured in Forbes.com's article: 28-Year-Old Jes Tom Doesn't Need To Explain Themselves. Jes has shared stages with Awkwafina, Kate Bornstein, Aparna Nancherla and Rosie O'Donnell, and was a 2018 StandUp NBC semifinalist. Jes will be performing at SF Sketchfest in January, so get your tickets today!
Congrats to Kathleen Lingo ('98), who has been named the New York Times Op-Docs first Editorial Director for Film and TV.
