A New South Kent Program Supporting Boys to Learn Who They Are and Who They Want to Become
The South Kent School Advancement Team is proud to announce the launch of the Career Pathways Program, a dynamic new initiative beginning in Fall 2025 that will equip students with the tools, mentorship, and real-world exposure needed to chart meaningful futures.
A Purposeful Start: Design Thinking for the Trinity of Values
The program coined Life Lab kicks off this fall, as a Design Thinking program led by expert facilitator and SKS alumna Kathleen Lindenmayer ’79 and Peter Sibley ‘69. This hands-on session, titled “Design Thinking for the Trinity of Values,” brings together the College Counseling Team and the Alumni Office to help students begin mapping their innate talents to potential college paths and careers—all through the lens of South Kent’s core values.
Yearlong Exploration and Connection
Following the kickoff, students will be invited to attend a Career Pathways Speaker Series hosted in Bringhurst Hall throughout the year, with scheduled events in September, October, November, April, and May. These on-campus discussions will feature accomplished alumni and friends of the school who represent a broad range of industries, and experiences.
Complementing the on-campus events will be a Virtual Monthly Alumni Youtube Podcast Series, launched in 2025. These engaging online conversations will be moderated by Rich Brande ’88 and Dillon Duncan ’04 of the SKS Advancement Team and are designed to deepen connections between students and our extensive alumni network.
With its unique blend of values-based exploration, practical career development, and powerful alumni engagement, the Career Pathways Program promises to be a transformational experience for South Kent students. We look forward to seeing our young men build confidence, find purpose, and boldly step into their futures—connected, prepared, and inspired. Want to get involved?
