Ultimate Summit

In the fall of 2022, students in grades 7 to 12 were able to learn more about careers in the healthcare and medical systems. In the northeast region, they were able to visit Wray Hospital, Melissa Memorial Hospital in Holyoke, or Sterling Regional MedCenter. They were able to go on rounds, see the laboratories, and have lunch with different professionals in the healthcare and medical fields and ask questions.

This event allowed students an inside look at the justice system and the many careers involved within.  Students did some advance work by reading about at least two different careers that are present on a normal court docket.  Then, after tours of the courthouse, students observed court in action.  Lunch followed with several professionals from attorneys and court reporters to judges and social workers joining students.  Professionals shared their educational journey, why they chose this career path, and how they ended up where they are today.  Students ended the day with a demonstration and debrief of what a true system of balance may look like.

Day 2 International founder and owner, Victoria Jeffs, presented to our students on Emotional Intelligence and Personality Development.  Students took self assessments on their EQ, dove into personality traits and development, and walked away with a better sense of the malleability of human potential.

In partnership with Think360 Arts and Downtown Aurora Visual Arts (DAVA), this year's Summit explored the concept of Creativity and how it's defined.  Students had an opportunity to explore the work and art of Vance Kirkland (Denver artist), make their own oil/paint prints, and then try their hand at designing windmills from recycled materials.
