Helping Point Foundation Scholars not only improves their lives, but also enriches our own. Moreover, the accomplishments of Point Scholars touch the lives of countless others—creating a ripple effect of hope in their communities. We are incredibly appreciative of the thousands of hours Point board members, mentors, host committee members and application readers devote to helping Point Scholars. As volunteers, they are giving the best of themselves to help others and their efforts are a testament to the highest degree of altruism. The generosity of individuals who support Point makes it possible for our work to have a positive impact on Point Scholars’ lives every day. We are also incredibly thankful to have the support of corporations and foundations that believe strongly in our mission, as well as groups and organizations which partner with us on events and programs. Together, we are working to ensure that LGBTQ youth have access to the quality education they need to become the next generation of society’s leaders. We are sincerely thankful to you, our many friends, partners and supporters, for helping us to do this very necessary and rewarding work. Warmest regards Holidays! and Happy The Point Foundation Staff Newest Members of the Point Family In the last few months we have been fortunate to welcome a number of new additions to the Point family: New members of our Board of Directors: Sharon Brackett Alan Guno Ryan Miller Calen Ouellette James Patton III Jonah Trout James Williams New Members of our Board of Trustees: Terry Longmore James Mann Jennifer Sobieski Joining Point’s Honorary Board of Directors: Joanne Herman New Staff Mike Piacentini Digital & Technology Manager Drew Rhodes Development Associate Zack Speir Alumni & Development Associate 2 Left: Point family visits the Lincoln Memorial during the Scholar & Alumni Leadership Conference.

Lolli is one of nearly four dozen people who help Point review the more than 2,000 applications for scholarships the foundation receives annually. Each application is read and scored by either two or three readers, who are board members, staff and/or approved volunteers like Lolli. Readers use a scoring system based upon a rubric guide criteria suggestions and scholarship requirements. It’s a time consuming process, but one which ensures applications are given the time and attention they deserve. Lolli is the Upper School Director of the Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California. She is also a straight ally of the LGBTQ community and passionate about teaching young people the importance of fighting social injustices. “As the Upper School Director of a high school I have the privilege of working with teens on a daily basis. I am also fortunate to teach a course on social justice which centers on the lessons and successes of the civil rights movement and other critical movements of the past and present. As an ally to the LGBTQ community, it is my responsibility to educate my students on the ways that they can get involved 4 to make our world more just and respectful: we must all partner together and fight against social injustices. “My work with the Point Foundation is dear to my heart because helping students attain their college goals is of paramount need. Having worked in college admissions for a number of years, I know how challenging it can be to afford higher education. Not only does Point provide financial support to LGBTQ students, but the Point family—mentors, staff and peers—are there for them throughout their college years, ensuring that scholars can maximize their potential.” Point is grateful to Lolli and all our volunteer readers who help us identify the next generation of LGBTQ leaders. Become an applications reader!

Point Alumnus Alex Morse Busy Being Visible (Continued from Page 1) Conference in New York City. Point Scholar Bryan Blaise, Estée Lauder Point Scholar Mira Patel and alumnus Jason Nichols traveled to New Orleans for the Reaching Out MBA conference. “There is no classroom discussion of LGBTQ issues in relation to business at my school,” said Patel. “So the opportunity to meet other queer business students from around the world and openly discuss LGBTQ issues is an opportunity I relish.” Alumna Erika Turner represented Point at the Hispanic Black Gay Coalition National Conference in Boston, scholar Jake Rostovsky tabled at the Destination College event at UCLA and the Models of Pride Conference at USC. Alumnus Derrick Clifton spoke at the National Youth Pride Services event in Chicago and alumna Michelle Marzullo tabled for Point at the 2013 Y.E.S conference in San Diego.
