Last weekend, the Theatre Department put on three special performances of Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" in the Waxlax Center for the Performing Arts. The in-the-round staging allowed the audiences to become immersed in the classic drama of Grover's Corners. The cast and crew put on a weekend full of incredible talent, dazzling crowds with their unique set-up and hard work. Check out this album of highlights.

 

Biology teacher Brandy Nelson brought three juniors and two seniors to The Indian River Lagoon Symposium this week at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute of FAU.

 

The event is a multi-institutional and multi-agency effort to provide a forum for discussing the most current research findings and restoration projects associated with the Indian River Lagoon. It is designed to narrow the gap between research and the application of that research that is required to improve the health of the IRL.

Scientists from all over Florida participate and the focus of this year’s symposium was IRL seagrasses. Students were able to utilize their knowledge of seagrasses and water quality from classes to step deeper into real world applications by listening to research talks and observing the associated research posters. They also had an opportunity to view AUVs, ROVs, submersibles and engineering areas during their lunch break.

US Academic Dean and Director of College Counseling Michele Sternberg and SES senior Laurel Logemann joined radio host Cindy Goetz to talk about Saint Edward's upcoming College Night with the Deans and to discuss the ever-changing college admission process. Laurel also gave us a quick look into how her love for summer camps has blossomed into a future in entrepreneurship and education. SES is very grateful for the college counseling team and proud of the incredible student leadership on campus.
