JUNIOR FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
Congratulations to our 2024 Junior Fellows!
Kathryn George, Lillian Englert and Robert Hadsell
Started in 2017, the Marin Catholic Junior Fellowship Program is an opportunity offered to all students in the spring of their Junior year. The program challenges students to propose, design, and implement a self-directed learning experience to complete over the summer. Applications are submitted in April and then reviewed by the Junior Fellowship panel. The panel chooses 3-4 students to complete their projects. Once chosen, these fellows are not only tasked with completing their research and projects, but they are required to attend a number of workshops, work directly with the Director of the Junior Fellowship program, and log 50+hours of work. In September, Junior Fellows present their projects to the Junior Fellowship panel, family, friends, and MC faculty. Upon successful completion of their projects, Fellows are awarded a $400 stipend and recognition at the Fall Honors Assembly, Senior Honors Assembly, and Graduation.
To learn more about the 2024 individual projects, see below.
Robert Hadsell - The King of All Instruments: The Organ
Lillian Englert - Crafting a Quilt
Lillian Englert learned the art of quilting from a true master - her grandmother. Growing up, her bed had always been wrapped in one of her grandmother's beautiful creations, and as she designed, prepared, and sewed her quilt, she connected on a deeper level with her grandmother than ever before.
Kathryn George- Creating a Podcast on Success and Decision Making
Kathryn George wanted to know how people make big decisions that lead to a successful career and fulfilling life - exploring this question through a four part podcast series with a diverse range in professions amongst the three guests. The podcast is called Crossroads: The Discussion of Decision Making, and can be found on Apple podcasts and Spotify.
Robert Hadsell - The King of All Instruments: The Organ
Robert spent the summer exploring what makes the organ unique. While he began with no prior musical experience, by the end he had
successfully learned how to read music and play the organ. He also spent time researching how the organ works and how it has developed
through the millennia.
