For more than 30 years, students accepted to The University of Chicago have had the opportunity to reflect on their time in high school and nominate an educator who played a significant role in their education, made a positive impact in their lives, and whose influence has brought them to where they are today, according to information provided by The Pingry School. Cottingham was selected by Kaya Lee of Pingry’s Class of 2020.
