The Dallas-Fort Worth Committee of the Princeton Prize in Race Relations has awarded Ai-Vy Hoang '25 and Logan Foster '25 Certificates of Accomplishment. The Princeton Prize in Race Relations "recognizes and rewards high school students who, through their volunteer activities, have undertaken significant efforts to advance racial equity and understanding in their schools or communities." Both students were invited to the regional Princeton Prize Ceremony at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum on April 6.

Director of Community and Inclusion Maria Estela Ayala shared the following:

"Ai-Vy and Logan were selected to be a part of the Community & Inclusion Leadership Team since their freshman year. Their passion to ensure that students in our school experience belonging and unity as well as their voice has been instrumental in advancing the vision for Community and Inclusion at Ursuline. Logan has been highly involved in the Black-African Student Union and as a part of leadership during her senior year, she is one of the student facilitators and leaders in belonging spaces which are designed to foster belonging for underrepresented students and faculty, specifically Black and/or African American. Ai-Vy, currently serving as a leader in the Asian Student Union, has helped shaped the programming for our belonging spaces for Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander students and faculty.

Ai-Vy and Logan have led their peers in a variety of conversations including unity within our community, the importance of our culture, the impact of stereotypes, etc. Their work extends beyond our own community as both, Ai-Vy and Logan have they led conversations for larger groups of high school students. Most recently, their presentation and conversation centered allyship and included a group of about 60 students from other Independent Schools including Alcuin School, Bishop Lynch High School, The Hockaday School, St. Mark’s School of Texas, Jesuit Preparatory School of Dallas, Parish Episcopal School, and Greenhill School."

Ai-Vy and Logan have embodied the spirit of Serviam in their dedication to serving our community as C&I student leaders.
