Invitation to Fall Forum by Joseph Delamerced , OJCL President
Mini-convention . But with Ludi . This is Fall Forum , an event that will take place on Saturday , October 7 at the Columbus Academy . Last year , nearly 100 students traveled to the Columbus Academy for our inaugural event . It was a day of engaging workshops , a light-hearted Open Certamen , an incredibly creative Impromptu Art session , and much more . After the overwhelming success of our Forum , we ’ re bringing it back this year . And it ’ s better than ever .
For one , there will be Ludi : Capture the Flag and Ultimate Frisbee . We have resolved timing issues and have ensured these games will be held in the day . We hope to build on our Ultimate success at Nationals and have a fun competition ! Furthermore , we will provide complimentary morning and afternoon snacks . And moreover , we have a special colloquium from JCL alumna Sasha Parks , in which students will work in teams to build warp-weighted looms from scratch and weave a small sample .
The fan-favorite Impromptu Art will return , as will our comedic Creative Arts passages . Teams work in small groups to build the most creative and artistic representation of a certain theme , which will be provided at the competition . A variety of fun awards , including for creativity , humor , and hyperrealism ( to name a few ), will be given to winning teams ! Our Creative Arts sessions are sight readings of amusing passages . This year , the Latin text will be written by State Chair Mr . Dean , and the English oratory will be composed by North Gubernator Owen Kranz .
But most importantly , Fall Forum is a time to reconnect with your friends . It ’ s the kickoff to our JCL year . I hope that you join me , the rest of the Executive Board , and many more clubs ( including many new chapters !) at this year ’ s Fall Forum .
The 2nd Annual Fall Forum will take place on Saturday , October 7 at the Columbus Academy .
