Trinity Senior Attends Leadership Seminar
Trinity senior Meredith Moore recently completed a Leadership Seminar at
the University of Notre Dame on July 18-29. The program has a 12-percent
acceptance rate, and she was selected out of more than 820 applicants from
across the nation and abroad. The all-expense paid program, which carries one
college credit upon completion, is entitled “American Arts, Popular Culture, and
Social Change.” The seminar explored the topics affecting the global community,
as participants were encouraged to improve their leadership skills through an
exchange of ideas. They were encouraged to examine American Arts and how
they have been influenced by the social problems of the world. Participants were
challenged as scholars, artists, and critical thinkers to use the arts to initiate
social change.
While not in class, Meredith participated in several off-campus activities,
including a trip to Chicago, where the group enjoyed a walking tour of the graffiti
in Pilsen, explored the Art Institute of Chicago, and picnicked in Millennium
Park, while listening to a concert associated with the park arts festival.
“The leadership program was incredibly helpful in pointing me towards the
style of learning I want in college,” Meredith stated. “I’m thrilled to have had
this opportunity. It was truly one of the highlights of my summer and I highly
recommend this program at Notre Dame.”
