Visiting Scholar ~ Arshay Cooper
St. Mark’s welcomed best-selling author and award-winning rower Arshay Cooper to campus as a Visiting Scholar on February 22-23. At a young age, Cooper fell in love with the sport of rowing and went on to captain the nation’s first all-Black high school rowing team.
Today, Cooper uses the sport of rowing to connect with low-income youth across the country. In 2017, he received a Golden Oars Award from USRowing for “outstanding service to the sport of rowing.” Cooper is the bestselling author of A Most Beautiful Thing: The True Story of America's First All-Black High School Rowing Team, which was recently adapted into a documentary and is in development as a scripted television show.
