League Fellows 2016-17
 

September 2012-Present

League delegates have continued to win numerous awards in a variety of conferences including Model UN, Model Government and Model Congress.  However, the direction of LCM has evolved beyond debate (and awards) and now holds internal conferences and Talks as well as a robust field study program where delegates have earned recognition for their efforts around the world for their work in the field.  

September, 2012

During the Spring of 2012, League delegates debated at the University of Michigan, MIT, Dartmouth College, Rome, Italy, and in Vancouver, Canada.  The League International Premier delegation to Rome completed a Field Study course in addition to the debate conference; an enriching and hands-on experience for the young delegates.  At home, delegates participated in inter-league debates, completed a neonatal field study at Lucille Packard, engaged in a special critical thinking segment with guest Stanford Emeritus professor Martin Hellman, and hosted their very own pilot Model UN conference, held at Stanford University, School of Medicine.  

The summer of 2012 the League held academic summer camps at Stanford University, for new and interested students from rising 5th to 12th grade.  It is with great honor that we welcome such a special group of motivated and caring students, as League delegates for the new year of 2012 - 2013.  A special comment to note is a group of International Premier delegates, that traveled to Istanbul, Turkey.  League delegates spent five days in debates with students from Pakistan, Egypt, Indonesia, EU nations, Turkey, Russia and Morocco to name a few nations present.  League delegates were the only students from the United States invited to this conference.  Apart from the challenging debate conference, League delegates held soccer games every night.  By the third night of the conference the soccer games began to attract delegates from numerous nations.  The League is honored to be invited, and will be returning to attend the debates, in Istanbul, Turkey, the summer of 2013.

Defining leadership, exploring diplomacy in foreign cultures, and a lifelong commitment to ethics.
The attention and care given to ethics and diplomacy within debate did not go unnoticed at the various debate conferences League delegates attended.  League delegates debate at UN-Model conferences that in particular stimulate high intellectual discussion, encourage ethics to be intertwined with argumentation, and there is support for the eloquent form of analysis.  This exquisite platform offers the precise focus for an ethical mindset in a debate and negotiation setting to flourish.

Critical thinking this past year sparked natural and dynamic debate and a refinement of debate skills for the incoming freshman class.  In March, League delegates traveled to Rome, Italy to engage in high level debates, complete a Field Study, and an advanced course on Ancient Roman History.  In addition to being exposed to a variety of cultures and distinct schools of thought, the delegates were given the opportunity and support to form new friendships with delegates from over 20 different nations.  

A specific goal this past spring semester has been the development of leadership from the beginner to the most advanced and senior League delegate.  For example, an innovative topic of debate was born by the delegates themselves, after the neo natal field study conducted at Lucille Packard Stanford's Children's Hospital concluded. This new awareness will bring a distinct topic and committee to the LCMMUN conference this coming October 26 - 28, 2012.   Likewise, through an initiative by a group of delegates, the League will begin a special endeavor with the International Rescue Committee the fall of 2012.  In regards to the specific League academic course on entrepreneurship and leadership, League high school delegates delved into an educational role conducting extensive research, writing, teaching, and managing a three-day conference, entirely on their own.  

We encourage every League delegate to relish the relationships and friendships they build with each other, to delicately transcend the cultural barriers and teach others along the way, and finally, to peer into and a be a part of, the world of diplomacy, for as long as time will allow. 

Attentively,

2012 - 2013 LCM Delegate Awards @ the High School Level


Fall Season 2011:  League delegates debate at Stanford University, The College of William and Mary (Best Delegation), and Princeton University.

Above all we begin on the note of recognizing continued awareness to ethics and diplomacy, as the two most important elements in any forum that the league delegates find themselves in, be it by leading or participating.  At Stanford in particular, every league delegate remained focused on the standard of ethics and what diplomacy means in the world today, as discussed in the league classes.  Indeed ethics and diplomacy encompass the overall academic view of the league curriculum.  A more specific goal for this fall semester has been the refinement of the research process.  It was inspiring to observe league delegates carry a new angle of depth to their research, and a more comprehensive understanding of facts, from increasingly credible sources.  The internal league website, The League Monitor, strives to provide league delegates with the sources to match each distinct research ability level and interest.   

As we explore the arena of foreign policy, we applaud the league delegates on their efforts in portraying the issues debated in a 'model' setting, with great care, empathy, innovation, and the serious note that the topics carry.  This drive and motivation held entirely by the league delegates, coupled with effort and hard work, is not something that can be explained by words. Instead it is best exemplified by the curiosity, participation, and intellect at which a typical discussion might unfold in class, on any given international issue, be it the recent IAEA report on Iran, the floods in Thailand, or the transitional government in Libya.  We express utmost gratitude to the sense of care and awareness league delegates exhibited to the debate, at both Stanford and William and Mary, in this regard.  

We look forward to the debate, and attending the University lectures at Princeton next week!

Attentively,

Catarina Williams     
Executive Director

Spring Season 2011:  League delegates debate at the University of Michigan, Harvard, MIT, Johns Hopkins, George Washington University, Dartmouth College, and at the UN Headquarters in NYC.

May 16, 2011

Delegates in the LCM year-round program study a fairly intense course on debate and diplomacy.  This past spring we saw many young delegates transition to higher intellectual understanding, often taking leadership roles within the League.  One example, is Erika Farmer, a year-long League delegate since middle school, and the intern for the 7th grade, intermediate delegation.  Erika provided fresh insight and a model example of high moral code.  This drive and motivation by the League delegates coupled with effort and hard work, is not something the League directors can put into words.  Instead it is best exemplified by the curiosity, participation and intellect at which a typical discussion will unfold in class, on any given international issue,  be it the Stratfor viewing of an oil field in Libya, or the latest development on nuclear standards and disaster preparedness in the recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan. 

This year LCM launched the first year-round Novice League Delegation meant exclusively for the youngest members of the league: 4th, 5th and 6th grade delegates.  This delegation often held the most creative solutions to world issues, reminding us of the importance of diplomacy and negotiation for our future ahead.  This past league year of 2010 - 2011, held incredible momentum, and we look forward to the evolution this fall with several exciting developments ahead.   

Finally, we are excited to be holding all the LCM introductory leadership and debate camps on the Stanford University campus.  The League is approaching its 5th year in operation and its third annual summer camp sessions.  This new room and board option allows for international, national, as well as local students to participate in the League summer camps.  Additionally, part of the summer is always dedicated to international travel, with new summer students and seasoned delegates traveling to South Korea and China in late July.  This is our 2nd year returning to China, in recognition of a special partnership the League is establishing with their Chinese counterparts. The LCM China delegation will debate parliamentary style debate, while the LCM Korea delegation will be exposed to European style of debate.  Both delegations will convene in Xian to embark on the culture portion of the trip and retrace the Silk Road.  Each delegate will create his or her own documentary of the Silk Road.  

Welcome to the good life.       ~ Quote by 7th grader first day of class in 2010.

League Delegates surpass expectations at Stanford University.

January 4th, 2011
On November 12th to 14th, 2010 the League of Creative Minds sent 40 delegates to debate at Stanford University.  This was not an ordinary delegation.  This delegation was composed of 20 middle school and 20 high school delegates.  The League was selected by Stanford to represent the nation of Iran, with the exception of delegates taking part in specialized or crisis committees.   

At the conference the League delegates followed the Iranian country policy closely and soon began to discover what it feels to be and represent the nation of Iran. "Why do I not have any allies?  What do I do?" implored Justine, a League delegate on the IAEA, as Iran.  Delegates who still held fresh the memory of representing France in China, were trying to figure out how to accomplish common goals and build allies when representing Iranian policy does entail a set agenda and certain expectations.

As the conference proceeded delegates began to embrace the character and relationships of Iran with as much diplomacy as possible.  Diplomatic efforts were at times arduous when a crisis itself may center around an Iranian aggression, spinning the debate into precisely what the diplomats were intending to avoid. Nevertheless, a collaborative team effort remained true to form, and much recognition was given for remaining on policy.  

LCM delegates delivered innovative speeches, time and again, debated tenaciously keeping an eye on diplomacy and future relations, but most importantly understood first hand what it feels like to stand in someone else's shoes and gain perspective from a distinct viewpoint other than their own.

The weekend at Stanford was spent debating from the early hours of the morning until long after the sun had set and it was dark outside.  The League delegates worked in unison as a team both individually representing their own nation and at times in pairs for our double-delegations.  

Finally, we thank all our delegates for their passion and motivation to care, and to our wonderful volunteer parents Patrizia, Nita & Dan, Lincoln and Raj for helping make the weekend a great one!

League Delegates win Best Delegation, in Beijing, China

August 8th, 2010
On July 27, 2010 the League of Creative Minds sent 17 delegates to travel to Beijing, China, to collaborate and share ideas with 2,500 students from 33 different nations. The student-delegates came together to lobby, negotiate and debate in Beijing, China.  These 17 League delegates comprised the Premier Delegation and were selected to represent France in the following committees:  NATO, The World Bank, Security Council, Historical Security Council, DISEC, UNCIO, UNDP, ILO, UNICEF, UNCSD, UNEP,  and the Arab-Israeli Negotiation Committee. One League delegate represented Somalia, as a Minister in the Somali Crisis Cabinet, a highly advanced and coveted committee.

Before the conference began the delegates engaged in an eight-day social and academic tour of Beijing.  In addition, to camping at the Great Wall, daily Mandarin classes and kung fu lessons, the League delegates studied either Chinese Religion & Philosophy, Chinese Art, Urbanization or Chinese Economics.

Following the Beijing social and academic tour, the delegates moved to Epoch City for the purely academic portion of the trip.  At the conference LCM delegates delivered innovative speeches, debated tenaciously, and most importantly understood first hand what it felt like to engage in cross-border communications with various distinct nationalities, distinct from our own.

Special Congrats to:

Blake and Giuliana, on the International Atomic Energy Agency, received a Best Delegate award (1st place). This was the very first conference for both Blake (7th grade) and Giuliana (6th grade), each competing at the high school level. Country policy accuracy and impressive argumentation in logic and strategy proved that these two junior debaters would excel at a comparable level to high school students.

Additionally, the League commends delegates for their comprehensive knowledge that the country of representation, does not dictate the ability level of debate, nor the seriousness of inclusion, nor the appropriate course of opinion participation, but instead the level of hard work, debating skills and preparation will be the factors that yield results, be it France, China or East Timor. Congrats once again!

The League is honored by the high effort and decorum of all Comoros and Cape Verde diplomats at MUNUC.
