On Thursday, June 5, 2014, 52 seniors graduated from The Baldwin School as the 126th graduating class. They will continue their education at colleges across America, as the seniors earned 271 acceptances to 121 colleges and universities in three countries (United States, Scotland, and Ireland). They will pursue higher levels of education at some of the most prestigious institutions in the country including Brown, Columbia, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Military Academy, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Haley Weiss ’14 was the student speaker at the commencement ceremony, held at Bryn Mawr Presbyterian Church. Ms. Weiss was elected by her peers for this honor. Janine Driver, CEO of the Body Language Institute, delivered the keynote address. Ms. Driver began her career as an industry operations investigator with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, where she developed the ability to interpret body language. Using such insights, Ms. Driver founded the Body Language Institute, which offers cutting-edge training in communications to help clients effectively strategize in the business world. Ms. Driver is also the author of the New York Times Bestseller You Say More Than You Think and has made many guest appearances in the popular media.
