Mrs. Stack was my advisor for 4 years as well as my Spanish teacher. Her guidance, support, and love was crucial to making my Nichols experience the formative one that it was.

In honor of Catharine Seaton
I learned to perform in front of large audiences thanks to Mrs. Seaton, who led the Music Department when I graduated in 1977. I graduated from Oberlin and Case with science and engineering degrees, and pursued a successful Engineering career, but it was her mentoring that enabled me to become a grassroots environmental leader and speak truth to power.

In honor of Nichols Students, Past and Present
With deep gratitude and affection for all of my students over the years. To all of the "wayward boys" advisories, to the "extended advisories," to all who have engaged in service work in our shared WNY community, and to all students of all identities, genders, backgrounds, talents, skills, interests, hopes, and dreams whose paths have crossed with mine: thank you. I have learned so much from you. May we always remember that the diversity of our community is its core strength. May we be mindful that, in life, we are all called to learn from and grow alongside one another. And, grounded in these values, may we work to have our actions in the world we all share be guided by compassion and mercy. With gratitude & respect ~ kp
