Uni financial update
Fiscal Year 2017 was a good year for Uni finances; the school finished in the black for the third year in a row. The most important factor contributing to this positive news was strong parent and alumni giving. In addition, General State Aid (the state money we receive for per-pupil daily attendance) was fully funded in 2016-17 instead of being reduced as it has in other recent years. The school also benefitted from capable financial management by Business Manager Mike Adams and by faculty and staff. The positive balance this year can be devoted to address significant deferred maintenance needs, such as new windows throughout the building. |

Melinda Taub wins Emmy Award
In her time at Uni, Melinda Taub, from the Class of 2001, participated in theater, Russian club, and Interact for a Better World. Two weeks ago, she won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special.
Taub, along with her fellow writers at Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, won for their work on “Not the White House Correspondents’ Dinner”, a response to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, an annual event for the media hosted by the President. The episode, which aired April 29, was marketed as an event honoring journalism, a clear reaction to President Trump’s criticism of journalists.
