From the President For the last two years the Academy has been engaged in exploration of what it means to be a community A community has several essential elements including respect trust and confidence in the people with whom you are gathered Woodward is a fortunately blessed community with 2 700 plus students 600 plus employees more than 5 000 parents and 9 000 graduates Our size is vast and creating that sense of trust value and respect is not always easy Yet we succeed in creating community because of our embrace of diversity Woodward stands apart from many other collegepreparatory institutions in Atlanta and around this country because of our diversity in all its manifestations racial ethnic religious geographic and intellectual The challenge for the Academy is to move from diversity to inclusion as described in the Strategic Plan included in this issue of the Woodward magazine In addition to the creation of an inclusive community Woodward s Strategic Plan calls for enhancing academic excellence continuing to develop our facilities and our leaders of tomorrow all with an eye toward Woodward being at the forefront of collegepreparatory education nationally One might argue that Woodward is already a national model in college preparatory education As you will see in this issue the awards section showcases the great talent in our student body We also are known for preparing people for lives of meaningful service and you will read in these pages about an alumnus whose early life was greatly influenced by being part of the Woodward community A Chicago based pediatric cardiac specialist Dr Nguyenvu Winston Nguyen 90 was born in war torn Vietnam and his family survived extreme hardship before emigrating and settling in College Park He tells me that the haven Woodward provided not only gave him a sense of safety and security but also set the course for his future Dr Nguyen uses his talents and training in service of people in Chicago and around the world through his humanitarian work Also in this issue of the magazine you will see the third and final installment of our Woodward Family Tree feature exploring the remarkable people in our community and the connections between them Finally the commencement of the Class of 2011 brought us together to celebrate We were all proud to see those talented and accomplished young people receive their diplomas knowing that this community has prepared them so well for the future and imagining all the great things ahead of them As ever I am grateful to be among you May you have an enjoyable and restful summer F Stuart Gulley SPRING SUMMER 2011 1

SPOTLIGHT Mending Hearts A t the age of nine Dr Nguyenvu Winston Nguyen 90 left Vietnam with his family for the United States The Nguyen family spent one year in refugee camps in Malaysia and the Philippines before settling in College Park In the sixth grade Dr Nguyen was admitted to Woodward Academy a place that he now refers to as his home for intellectual and personal development Growing up in war time Vietnam Dr Nguyen says he and his family never knew what each day might bring All of that changed when he came to the U S and Woodward Academy For the first time in his life he felt safe to live and envision a future My whole world opened up in non threatening and limitless dimensions says Dr Nguyen He recalls the time he spent in Carlos Library reading for the first time about Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian culture where he also relished learning Latin English literature and biological sciences He took advantage of AP classes played in the orchestra and was a member of the wrestling and track teams He also served on the Honors Council I am grateful for the cultural diversity that existed at Woodward says Dr Nguyen Not only was the student demographic diverse our education was thoughtful and reflective of the world at large Dr Nguyen remembers Director of College Counseling Missy Sanchez as someone who made a profound impact on his life on multiple occasions From Mrs Sanchez I learned more than how to do well on testing and evaluate admissions criteria from colleges said Dr Nguyen I learned to believe in the power of one individual to articulate his own voice and connect with others through common human experiences Dr Nguyen received his undergraduate degree at Harvard University It was the right choice 26 for him because of the rich education and expansive introduction to world perspectives that Harvard offers I was surrounded and nurtured by people who dream often and dared to execute their dreams he recalls During college Mrs Sanchez encouraged him to follow his heart s calling and travel to India Dr Nguyen received a letter of invitation from Mother Teresa to travel and document his experience in Calcutta the City of Joy I was trying to figure out my identity says Dr Nguyen of his travels Taking care of sick and dying people and experiencing one on one interaction with my fellow mankind when they were most broken that was a privilege I learned how to be fragile and powerful at the same time which impacts how I practice medicine today After Harvard Dr Nguyen completed a public service fellowship funded by the Echoing W O O D WA R D A C A D E M Y Green Foundation During that year he collected artworks and oral histories from refugee camps in Southeast Asia The project helped put my personal experience with the Vietnam War into the larger context of global conflicts which often lead to community displacement and poverty Though Dr Nguyen considered a career in politics he found his true calling in medicine As a Woodruff fellow he attended medical school at Emory University Today Dr Nguyen practices pediatric cardiology at Children s Memorial Hospital at Northwestern University in Chicago Dr Nguyen is passionate about global health and participates in humanitarian programs donating his time expertise and resources to support and develop pediatric cardiac programs in developing countries mainly in Vietnam Because of the financial aid offered at Woodward Harvard and Emory and other grants received throughout medical school Dr Nguyen was able to choose his career based on what is fulfilling for him In his work as a pediatric cardiologist Dr Nguyen feels he is using his education in the service of others and mending the hearts of children I obtained an education to develop and support a dream For someone who grew up during wartime I was fortunate to have the opportunities to pursue higher learning for its own sake as well as to put all that education into action to benefit others he says
