Dear JRAD affiliates, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My name is Saanvi Sambangi, and I am currently serving as the Director of Outreach for the James River Academy of Diplomacy. We are more than pleased to announce that the October season has been both plentiful and enjoyable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the CVCS lessons the kids have made spectacular progress. Over the past several of weeks they\u2019ve been experiencing a highly specific workshop geared towards cultivating their public speaking skills. As a part of this workshop they\u2019ve gained confidence, research skills, and life long habits. Over the course of the last few months they\u2019ve been developing a speech based on their passions and interest. Just last week, they gave their final speeches in an end of the unit celebration. Parents and JRAD members were invited to attend, and the event went fantastically! We\u2019re proud of the progress of our students and are excited to see what comes with our debate unit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Switching gears, we\u2019ve also seen progress with the travel team to ODUMUNC. Having fully established our travel team, we reached out to 14 skilled individuals to join us in this conference. Even though we\u2019re a long ways away from February, we\u2019re excited to see what the future holds for our travel team! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of our other projects is reaching out to various organizations and non-profits to expand JRAD\u2019s reach and foster public speaking skills within our community. If you yourself are interested in our services, or know somebody that is, please feel free to contact us at jradiplomacy@gmail.com!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, in an exciting turn of events, we\u2019d like to introduce our new Vice President of Outreach, Abeer Shah,<\/strong> and our Vice President of Finance\/Legalities, Srihaas Sudhireddy!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s everything for now. Thank you for tuning into our November newsletter. We\u2019ll see you again next month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saanvi Sambangi <\/p>\n\n\n\n Director of Outreach <\/p>\n\n\n\n The JRAD Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear JRAD affiliates, My name is Saanvi Sambangi, and I am currently serving as the Director of Outreach for the James River Academy of Diplomacy.
