As we all transition back into school post-pandemic, we are all faced with challenges we never saw coming. Immediately, we were unable to take our classes from the comfort of our own rooms and were thrust back into a completely new, post-pandemic environment. However, even with these circumstances, our students and community have continued to flourish and Break Free of the shackles that the pandemic previously held us to.
This October, we host a distinguished set of four speakers: two students, one teacher, and an undergraduate student from our community making huge strides in our post-pandemic world. From new innovations in environmental science to a breathtaking transatlantic voyage, we hope to provide a conference that encourages our students to explore their futures to the fullest, and more importantly: Break Free.
