Please note that this free summer class is being taught by one of our rising seniors, Emily Jackson, as part of her myExperience project at Hutchison’s Institute for Responsible Citizenship. Upper School girls in this program create a unique project in an area of personal interest and, in cases such as this one, conduct field research by teaching a curriculum that they have written. Emily will be in charge of the class day to day, while also being assessed and supervised by the Institute faculty, including Institute Director Nick Simpson.
