Beyond the Circle Forum
Upper School students hear from professionals from a wide variety of disciplines. The program addresses the following motivating questions:
-
[Learn] How might students learn about different post-college careers?
-
[See] How might students see representation of themselves in different disciplines?
-
[Experience] How might students experience "a day in the life" of someone in a particular profession?
This year’s theme is “Building Your Own Path and Finding Fulfillment” with a focus on climate positive work, and social and racial justice.
The Forum is supported by the Beyond the Circle Forum Student Advisory Committee and the Inspiring Voices (CSA) Committee.
