Having already introduced you to the first half of the prefect team for this summer�s Great Books High School Program in New England, we now introduce you to the rest the 2024 prefects!

A freshman, Paloma Gallivan (�27) is ready to take on the challenge of being a Summer Program prefect. As a Santa Anna, California, native, she visited TAC-California with her brother in high school. �I didn�t like it at first,� she admits. But, after attending the Summer Program in 2022, she changed her mind. �I really liked the curriculum, and the people I met there. There�s a unique sense of community you can find at TAC that I didn�t see elsewhere.� Should you ever need to find Paloma, she loves to swim in the pool and play spikeball in front of Gould Hall.

91����� Fallon (�26) hails from Utica, New York, and will be prefecting this summer for the first time. A surefire participant in every TAC sports season, 91����� loves playing soccer, football, ultimate frisbee, and basketball � really any team sport! He discovered the College through the and a recommendation from a friend. �I had a friend who had already attended TAC and decided to check it out,� he says. �The curriculum was very attractive, and I was drawn to the culture and people I met here.� As a prefect during the regular school year, 91����� has a vibrant personality and can often be found playing games in Bl. Frassati Student Center with his friends.

Adelina Margand (�26) is one of seven children from Yonkers, New York. She attended the Summer Program and was enamored with the Discussion Method. �I distinctly remember my perception of the world getting altered significantly through analyzing those works, discussing the contents, and further considering their implications,� she said. During a gap year overseas, she realized how important was the intellectual and spiritual formation she found at the College. �Rather than the �truth� being a subjective amalgam of individual beliefs, TAC showed that it was really elevated to something that is objective, ordered, and universal, culminating in a deeper understanding of the highest Truth.� When not immersed in the Great Books, Adelina loves to explore the great outdoors, especially by hiking and skiing.

While in high school in Geneva, New York, Matthew Bohrer (�26) learned about the TAC High School Summer Program when an admissions officer visited his school. After attending, he was fully on board. This will be Matthew�s second time as a prefect for the Summer Program, and he hopes to share his TAC experience with this year�s attendees. �The Summer Program is such a good time, and it�s a great place to meet people,� he says. �TAC is proof that you can have an amazing education, spiritual life, and social life, all at the same time. You don�t have to sacrifice any one to have a great experience here.�

Although initially hesitant about 91����� Aquinas College, Daniela Van Wyk (�26) of Goleta, California, changed her mind while attending her own High School Summer Program. While she originally intended to attend a much larger school, she was intrigued by the threefold unity of faith, friendship, and classical education that TAC offered. �It was the curriculum that really got me and continues to keep me here,� she said. �The books we read and the questions we begin to ask have been some of the most fulfilling work I�ve ever done.� With two years of rigorous Catholic liberal education behind her, Daniela hopes to share what she�s learned with this year�s attendees. �I hope the program allows them to get a glimpse of what we study here. As I�ve experienced myself, once you see the beauty of this education, you will naturally desire it.�
