Prior to the 2020 presidential election, Trevor's history department coordinated and presented a series of four discussions focused on the event, while also touching on issues of governance, governmental structure, the role of the media, and the future of American politics. e entire Trevor community was invited to attend. Each session was led by a different facilitator and considered different questions. History Department Chair Richard ornburgh took the lead on initiating and organizing the community to participate. "We wanted to provide the Trevor community—students, faculty, staff, parents, grandparents—with an informative, objective look at the 2020 presidential election that would better prepare it to understand the election season from a variety of angles," he explains. "From topics such as understanding the Electoral College to examining the enormous presence of media in our daily lives, this series achieved its goal of educating the community by virtue of its own community members. For example, history department teachers Paul Swartz and Randy Stearns, adjunct faculty Kimon Keramidas, and Head of School Scott Reisinger dissected, explored, and reflected on politics through their various expert lenses." Given the series' success, Dr. ornburgh hopes to continue providing similar programs for the Trevor community. Part 1: Understanding Governance and the Electoral College Part 3: What's Next?
