Welcome to Episode 1 of The Darlington Podcast!
Our host today is Rebekah Kinney, professional development coordinator. She's joined by Upper School science teacher and her Senior Ventures co-teacher (and husband) Owen Kinney, and they'll be chatting with two current seniors - Caroline McRay ('21) and Luke McDurmon ('21).

The Senior Ventures leadership program is a year-long senior project built on a framework of leadership, innovation, and community engagement. The topic and the project design are chosen by an individual student or a pair of students, and the journey is guided by Darlington faculty as well as mentors in the community. Most projects fall into one of the following categories: Investigation, Performance, Entrepreneurship, and Outreach. Candidates are selected according to proposal quality, feasibility, and commitment.
The Darlington Podcast is a collaboration between the Communication, Advancement, and I.T. teams, and is hosted by various members of the faculty and staff. Episodes are released each Thursday morning and available on most podcast platforms (search for The Darlington Podcast in your podcast player).
