Dean of Students Welcomes Parents to Explo at Wellesley
Now in her sixth season as an Explo faculty member, Stacey Lee, Dean of Students at Explo at Wellesley, welcomed parents on opening day and provided an informative and engaging talk about what this summer has in store for their children.
Stacey Lee, Dean of Students at Explo at Wellesley, was filled with warmth, good humor, and very valuable information as she welcomed parents to the Wellesley campus on opening day. Stacey told the audience that she hoped their sons and daughters would experience three things at Explo: independence, confidence, and fun.
She also highlighted that a summer at Explo is an opportunity to do things that you can't do during the regular school year, and that Explo at Wellesley is a place where kids can feel safe to take appropriate risks, and to push outside their comfort zones.
In describing the role of the Dean of Students' Office, Stacey reinforced the notion that Explo is operating in partnership with parents; her role is to help kids feel comfortable (and is not just about discipline!). Stacey spoke with candor, understanding, and wisdom about the Explo experience, and offered both reassurance and excitement on a momentous day.
