2008 Youth Summit

The Ripon Forum on Ethics and Oratory Youth Summit is a unique, interactive learning experience for tomorrow’s leaders. The specific themes and events of the Youth Summit are designed and conducted by senior communication majors at Ripon College in consultation with department faculty and the annual Ripon Forum on Ethics and Oratory Scholar.

The 2008 Youth Summit will focus on the rhetorical strategies of early women's rights leader Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Participating high school students will:

• Develop a deeper understanding of the historical significance of Stanton’s work.
• Engage in workshop sessions about the role of ethics and oratory in leadership.

Special professional development sessions will be planned for high school educators accompanying students to the Youth Summit.

The 2008 Ripon Forum on Ethics and Oratory Youth Summit is a project of the Ripon College Department of Communication. Youth Summit 2008 is sponsored, in part, by grants from the Ripon College Ethical Leadership Program and the Ripon College Collaborative Learning Center.
