Director Greg Whiteley's new film, Most Likely to Succeed, which premiered at Sundance in January, takes a critical look at the US education system. The film argues that the US economy has changed dramatically while our education system has not, leaving graduates unprepared for the needs of the 2lst century. The documentary focuses on High Tech High in San Diego, a school that has radically altered what and how students learn, and it raises many questions about what kind of education environment wilt lead to future success for the country and students. Whiteley is the director of the highly regarded docu- mentary Mitt (2014). After a screening of the film, the filmmaker and i panelists, led by AEl?s Rick Hess, will discuss it. or in this simulation, Asia?s maritime territorial rows grow increasingly heated. China acts with growing boldness in pursuing expansive claims, while her neighbors draw closer to the United States and expand their own militaries.

Will the United States step in to pre- serve the peace and, if necessary, win a war? Or will China shepherd in a new Asian order dominated by Beijing? Participants will decide the answers. 6:00 7:00 pm. Reception 7:00 8:30 pm. Dinner 8:30 9:30 pm. Starlight Chats r. - . r. Saturday, March 7 AGENDA 7:30 8:30 am. 8:45 10:15 am. 10:30 am.
