SPRINGTIME!!!!

Spring weather caught up with us late this season but the overcast days didn’t prevent students and staff members from participating in a full schedule of workshops and educational activities.

Lifesteps

The Lifesteps at MBA are at the heart of the program.  Students make great strides from being in them personally and those who have already been through a Lifestep love to support their friends as they go through the workshops.  This spring, students participated in a Bridge and Promise in April, and Peer Group 52 had their Forever Young (see photos). Also from now to June graduation the schedule is has every weekend busy with lifesteps.

Forever Young return

Pole Barn Gym

We’ve had some greatly anticipated construction on campus in the form of a behemoth pole barn structure which will serve as a full court gymnasium and workout area.  The building should be completed this June and ready for use.

Shakespeare Trip

This spring, students and several staff members traveled to Ashland, Oregon to participate in a four day intensive with a world renowned group of Shakespearean Actors.  They attended several plays, had a back stage tour, and participated in an acting workshop.  This experiential learning intensive ignites passion for learning in students and staff members alike.

        "I gained a great deal from my experience on Shakespeare Classroom.  Not only did I have a great time, but I also got to learn things that I hadn't known before. I loved being able to perform and learn at the same time. After this experience, I rekindled my desire to be part of the theater world and now have more motivation toward becoming an actor.  This trip was such a great experience.  I am so glad I was able to be a part of it."

Dorm heads: the hardest job on campus!!!

Mentors Red Ashcraft and Krystal Myers are MBA’s stellar dorm supervisors.  They work hard to maintain the high dorm standards.  After an afternoon group session with the student dorm heads to review and reinforce student leadership on campus, they relax to enjoy life’s sweetness at the local Diary Queen.
