Greetings from Kildonan, everyone!
With only 2 academic days left before summer, we in Edge are tying up loose ends. Students are reflecting upon their learning in end-of-year conferences, and advisors are finishing the last reporting cycle. It's a bittersweet season as we prepare to say goodbye to veterans of the program. Annabel and Chris, our community is stronger for your thinking and spirit over the past two years. Santiago, we wish we had another year with you (but look forward to seeing your future business ventures)!
Whether bound for college or a new year, however, we all take leaves marked by anticlimax. Our work is not finished, can never be finished. The passions that motivated us beckon to us yet, so our leavings are the flutter of a curtain rather than the closing of a door.
Case in point: Ben has begun the important work of creating/maintaining a portfolio that will compile all of his Edge pursuits. He is designing a website that will highlight his past blog posts, his schematics, his videos on the terrain park, his upcoming pursuits in trail-building, and next year's work in Edge.
From here on out, we will re-post the pieces that Ben publishes via his site. Click HERE to take a look at his paper on snowboarding. While you're there, don't forget to subscribe!
Such a heartfelt farewell to an exciting year of Edge and to senior students heading off to new paths of learning and offering their talents and skills to the world. Best of luck with all of your endeavors, seniors!
ReplyDeleteLooking ahead, I can't wait to see what kinds of projects next year's Edge-rs will be inspiring us with.
And wow, Ben, such an insightful paper on snowboarding. Although I've never stepped onto one, you've inspired this old lady to pursue some of my passions with a bit more gusto!
Wishing everyone in Edge along with the whole Kildonan community an exciting and restful summer!
