On Wednesday afternoons during the fourth quarter, we hold a whole high school Seminar Series. We invite individuals from the larger community to talk about the work they do and how they came to do it. Students enjoy learning about the sometimes circuitous journey these speakers take when finding their work in the world.

During the pandemic, we have had some speakers join us over Zoom. We look forward to the time when we can have speakers return to our campus.
