Mock Trial<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n
The A team from the CC Mock Trial team travelled to the Opening Round Championship Series (ORCS) tournament, hosted in Geneva, IL from March 8\u201310. ORCS is the national semi-final level of mock trial competition. Of the 700+ college mock trial teams who began the season, just 196 qualified to compete at ORCS. There are eight ORCS tournaments around the country, each with 24 teams competing. The top 6 teams from each ORCS tournament earn a bid to compete at the National Championship Tournament.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

The CC team ended with a record of 4-4, winning at least one of two ballots in all but one round. For the second year in a row, CC drew a very challenging slate of opponents at ORCS – our \u201cstrength of schedule\u201d metric was among the top 5 most challenging out of all 196 teams competing at ORCS tournaments. CC placed in the top half of teams at the tournament, but unfortunately fell just short of earning a bid to the National Championship.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

The coaches are incredibly proud of the students\u2019 performances this year and are looking forward to another successful season in 2024-2025!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

Block Breaks have always been a time to rest, play, and possibly embark on a small adventure. During the first Block Break in the fall of 2023, two CC juniors, Savian Czerny and Wiley Holbrooke, decided to take this third option to the extreme.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

\u201cIt began with a wild idea freshman year,\u201d says Holbrooke. \u201cI told a friend, \u2018I think I want to try and climb El Cap in a Block Break.\u2019 And he told me, \u2018there\u2019s only one person on this campus who can do that with you.\u2019\u201d Czerny was soon introduced to Holbrooke and planning began.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

The idea was based on Nose in a Day (NIAD), the goal of reaching the nose of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley in one day. Many consider it one of the best rock-climbs in the world and the goal has become an increasingly popular challenge. But could Czerny and Holbrooke get from campus, do the climb, and make it back all in one Block Break?<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

The Democratic Dialogue Project<\/a> (DDP) is a joint student organization of CC students and United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) cadets that works to build bridges across the civilian-military divide. The club hosts discussion sessions, speaker events and more to encourage students and cadets to debate political issues and build social connections. The goal of the organization is to improve communication and conversation among young leaders about issues central to our democracy.<\/div>\n

<\/span> <\/p>\n

This year, the DDP launched a new part of our project, with a student-led trip to Washington D.C. Along with the USAFA cadets, we met with State Department officials, Congressional staffers, and others to learn about what civil-military relations look like on the ground in our nation\u2019s capital. The idea of the trip was to meet with professionals from a wide array of departments, agencies, and branches of government to hear different perspectives on civil-military communication and to learn how the Department of Defense interfaces with the rest of the government.<\/div>\n
