Another step towards building Beyond Ready Leaders

Last Sunday I judged at a mock trial tournament for high schoolers for the first time, and as much hectic as it was...it was such an exciting experience to be sitting in the judge seats for the first time! I finally got the chance to see the mock trial courtroom scene from the other perspective (rather than the perspective of a nervous, sweaty, freaking out high school mock trial girl...which I totally was!) I was once that high school girl not too long ago and did Mock Trial for three years while at St. Mary's Academy, and for a year while at University of Oregon through University of Oregon Mock Trial. Mock Trial has helped me work on, improve, and polish my public speaking, confidence, teamwork, and analytical skills. I also learned how to think on my feet (which...trust me I was very scared about as a junior in high school in the downtown Portland courtrooms.) There are so many ways to shine in Mock Trial from being a creative character on witness to being an intimidating, skeptical lawyer on cross examination or someone who wraps everything altogether in a powerful, concise speech through a closing statement. This serves as a positive reminder of how there are so many different ways to shine in any group setting...whether it be a group project, an internship, the executive board of a college club, work meetings, and more. Working as part of a team is a lifelong skill, but I know my experiences working with many different kinds of personalities of students who did Mock Trial will serve me well as I enter the workplace and beyond following college graduation in spring 2024. Lastly, I wanted to shoutout Anna Mueller for including me in Duckpond Showdown judging! She plans and leads such a big event for so many high school students and college judges every year (for 4 years as of now), and was an amazing mock trial student coach and leader when I was on UO Mock Trial. I'm so grateful for all the friends I've made through mock trial! #teamwork #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #diversityandinclusion #dei #publicspeaking #confidencebuilding #analyticalskills #graduation #newgrad #classof2024 #mocktrial

As part of my annual spring tour of colleges, this past week I visited Bennington College in Bennington, Vermont. I'd lived in Bennington briefly about 20 years ago, but had never actually visited Bennington College until this year. Bennington is a small college of about 730 students with a charming campus filled with eclectic and thoughtfully constructed learning and living spaces. What stands out to me most about Bennington is its innovative curriculum. Rather than declare a traditional major, Bennington students develop an academic plan focusing on a single, challenging, often interdisciplinary intellectual problem or question. Students then embark upon an ambitious research process, including multiple internships, classes, and tutorials, culminating in a 30-60 page research paper as well as some sort of public-facing presentation or performance. Similar to a dissertation committee, a committee of faculty members works closely with each student to hone their research questions, ask questions of their own, provide feedback and support, and help direct the student toward opportunities after they graduate. Many Bennington students go on to graduate school to continue and deepen their research pursuits. It is an innovative, rigorous, and inquiry-driven approach to undergraduate studies, and the students I spoke to were extremely excited about the projects they had embarked upon. The type of student most likely to succeed at Bennington is someone who is, or aspires to be, self driven in their intellectual pursuits, who does not expect a uniform or cookie-cutter design to their program of study. Students enrolling at Bennington don't necessarily need to be natural leaders among their peers, but they do need to be community minded. Bennington students are generally oriented toward helping to make the world a better place, and are people seeking to use their educational experiences to make a difference.
