She will join a select group of students in Washington, DC April 7th through 13th, 2008 to earn high school credit while studying leadership and exploring some of the United States’ most prominent monuments and institutions.
From Capitol Hill to the Smithsonian Institution, and from Colonial Williamsburg to the National Museum of American History, she will examine the characteristics of American leadership during times of national challenge and prosperity. Forum delegates will also participate in small-group discussions and exercises to experience first-hand how successful leaders develop strategies, make decisions, build consensus, and foster change.
Cottrell was nominated and accepted for this honor based on her scholastic merit, involvement and leadership potential.
