Now in its third year, the hybrid virtual and in-person program invites participants to deepen their understanding of society, their community, and themselves through honest discussions and advanced civics lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt has been an incredible week,\u201d said Law Professor and Director of Clinical and Experiential Education <strong>Christine Cerniglia<\/strong>, a co-organizer of the program, after it concluded. \u201cIt truly is our privilege and honor to share our teaching and learning space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2023 class consisted of nearly two dozen high-school students representing diverse racial, economic, cultural, and gender identities and backgrounds. Though some expressed an interest in eventually attending law school, others took part with the aim of learning about how to be effective advocates within causes for which they are most passionate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A holistic approach to civics education<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A collaborative effort among Stetson Law\u2019s offices of Admissions; Diversity, Collaboration, and Inclusion; Clinical Education; and other departments, the five-day program consisted largely of virtual workshops and culminated Friday with a series of in-person sessions as well as an awards ceremony on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The broad range of discussions included advocacy, social justice, human rights, leadership, civic responsibility, understanding local government, mental and emotional self-care, how to successfully advocate for oneself on social media, and preparing for college. Speakers ranged from Stetson Law faculty, staff, and alumni to prominent community leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Judge <strong>Steve Berlin<\/strong> of Florida\u2019s Sixth Judicial Circuit gave a comprehensive overview of the justice system as part of Friday\u2019s on-campus programming. Alumni <strong>Keongela Randle<\/strong>, <strong>Forest Sutton<\/strong>, and <strong>Assita Toure<\/strong> also offered a glimpse into what it is like to pursue a legal career as well as a demonstration of the jury-selection process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students were open about their thoughts and how they felt over the course of the week, something the facilitators recognized \u2013 and commended.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"827\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YCEP23_Karla-1024x827.jpg\" alt=\"A woman speaks at a podium in the Great Hall.\" class=\"wp-image-32484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YCEP23_Karla-1024x827.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YCEP23_Karla-500x404.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YCEP23_Karla-768x620.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YCEP23_Karla-1536x1240.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YCEP23_Karla-2048x1654.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www2.stetson.edu\/law\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/YCEP23_Karla-1320x1066.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Assistant Dean for Strategic Enrollment Management Karla O.
