“Working with you all was a delight—your team is both extremely creative and organized! I so appreciate not only the beautiful pieces you helped us produce but also the fresh words you helped us capture for describing the unique Vis experience.”
— Gingi Hickey, Advancement Associate

Convent of the Visitation School, Mendota Heights, Minnesota
Visitation is a special school—dedicated to a distinctive combination of single-gender and coed learning, inspired by a strong faith tradition, and alive with a wonderful energy and spirit. Capturing all this in a series of admissions publications was a challenge, but one Kelsh Wilson was thrilled to take on.

We had a great 2 days at Malvern Prep. Shooting photos for Admissions and Campaign work. The boys and the weather were at their best! Perfect blue skies with the right amount of nice puffy clouds. The Malvern campus is beautiful and it wasn’t difficult getting the perfect cover image. Great job Kevin Monko, Malvern boys, and Father Flynn! :) Stay tuned for Malvern’s printed publications at the end of summer!

What Inspires Us

The Dawn Wall

by Beth

For several weeks this January, I was a little obsessed with Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgenson's attempt to free climb El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. I am fascinated with these feats in which my first question always seems to be "Why would anyone do that?" Tommy Caldwell had a pretty eloquent answer to that question, "For me the Dawn Wall is the perfect venue for some of the most important values I want to show [my son] Fitz," Caldwell wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of him hugging his son. "Optimism, perseverance, dedication and the importance of dreaming big." Jorgenson echoed these sentiments, adding "I wanted to see what I was capable of, and this was the biggest canvas and the most audacious project I could join and see to the finish." 

Because both of the climbers were active on social media, tweeting and posting on instagram daily, their efforts found a pretty strong following from other climbers (both the real and the armchair type.) Then John Branch of the New York Times wrote an article that captured people's attention and soon the mainstream media was reporting progress on the nightly news. Here's an interview he did about covering the adventure. 

You might still ask, "Why?" or you could just ask #WhatsYourDawnWall

To get a sense of what they faced, here's video of Caldwell on the toughest pitch of the ascent:
