Are you passionate about art, writing, and journalism? Are you looking for a platform to tell your story without the fear of censorship? Do you want to help others in our community freely express their perspectives? If you answered "Yes!" to any of these questions, The Tavern is the perfect club for you!
Since 2016, students from eight MA boarding schools have been running a "thought paper" called The Tavern.  Rather than reporting news articles to schools, it is a publication dedicated to promoting conversations on important topics past the walls of our own institutions. The Tavern will publish monthly, solely online, and each issue will revolve around a theme or theme question relevant to the Boarding School community at that time. Unlike all other student publications on campus, The Tavern is a haven to express your voice and talent without any form of censorship and restriction.
Each school will have a panel of ten students, led by the school Editor. This year, we will only be accepting two new members. If you’re interested in joining Brooks' panel, please fill out the attached application due at midnight on September 23rd. Please check out our website and read every question carefully.

Application:

Sincerely,
Brooks School Editor 2020-21 Hongru Chen

These calls will last around 20-40 minutes and will take place about once a month. There will also be a short 20 minute discussion session where I will bring up new and popular topics in the medical field such as the potential for a covid vaccine, and there will be an open space for people to share things that they might know about the topic. There will also be opportunities to share your knowledge about summer programs related to medicine which others could be interested in. I am open to any suggestions from members so that I could incorporate what interests them.
Meetings: We will meet over zoom whenever I can get a speaker to come and talk to us and then ask questions. Meetings will last 20-40 min depending on the speaker. Also we will meet hopefully weekly but maybe just every other week to have a short 20 min open discussion.
Student leader: Adam Jac
Faculty Leaders: Mrs. Mandzhukova
