At their ceremony the twins were surrounded by teachers and friends from Woodward. We spoke to the boys about their love of Scouting and what motivated them to reach the organization's highest echelon.

Melanin Minds in Medicine is a student-led program based in metro Atlanta dedicated to increasing representation, access, and equity in healthcare. The program was founded and is led by Woodward junior Skylar Robinson. Sophomore Chanson Love serves as Vice Chair.
Recently the program hosted its first medical panel event at Woodward, which featured four physicians and one medical student who spoke with students about their journeys into medicine and answered questions about the field. Students attended from nine different schools across metro Atlanta. The event was interactive and focused on giving students real exposure to careers in healthcare.

I have a confession to make. The first time I went through the college search process as a parent with the oldest of my three sons, I lost my mind. I will not bore you with the details, but suffice to say that I fell into the trap of letting a flawed process hijack part of what otherwise was an incredibly rewarding time in our Woodward journey, senior year. Each spring, as seniors prepare to graduate, I am reminded that the college admission process is as much a journey for parents as it is for students.
