YOUTH SYMPOSIUM

The Youth Symposium is designed to motivate students in ways that will increase their desire to work towards academic achievement.


This year, the Youth Symposium will be conducted by Erik Cork. His program, Rap, Rhythm and Rhyme: Rebuilding the Writing Foundation is an intensely fast-paced workshop that empowers students to systematically organize their thoughts and communicate them effectively on paper. Through music, movement and rap, students will actively participate in a "visually stimulating and physically intoxicating buffet of teachable techniques."


The Youth Symposium convenes on Thursday, November 19, 2009 at 8:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Lunch is provided for the students. Although the session is designed for students, it is open to all.
