51³ÉÈËÁÔÆæ

Dina Janis was the faculty speaker at Convocation 2019. She stressed the importance of preparation and action as necessary first steps to discovery and education.

"Regardless of how one finds oneself preparing for the act of creation, there is no substitute for time on your feet actually doing the thing, rather than thinking about doing it," said Janis. "There is nothing hypothetical about action." 

Nine students from high schools across the country were selected as winners of 51³ÉÈËÁÔÆæ’s 2018-2019 .
