The Defamation Experience Encourages Dialogue

,

This year, students participated in The Defamation Experience, an interactive theatrical performance and discussion centered on a fictional courtroom drama involving a civil defamation case. Using the context of a legal trial, the cast navigated issues including race, class, gender and religion, culminating in deliberation and a decision in which students participated as jurors. The post-show discussion, led by a facilitator, provided an opportunity to talk about issues of identity, inclusion, justice and our connection as people.

Dare to Lead

Uncertain times demand great leaders—and great leadership demands courage, intellect, and unshakable sense of ethics. Milton centers these ideals in its classrooms and community at large. Alumni at the tops of their fields cite their Milton experiences as foundational in preparing them to lead. On campus, students begin leading as soon as they begin learning, readying themselves for the world they will inherit with the confidence needed to effect positive and lasting change.
