People to People Academic Program accepts JMS student Ben Morseth

Ben Morseth
Ben Morseth, an eighth grade student at Jackson Middle School (JMS), has been accepted into the People to People World Leadership Forum.

Morseth will join a select group of students in Washington, D.C., Oct. 8-14, to earn high school credit while studying leadership and exploring some of the United States' most prominent monuments and institutions.

From Capitol Hill to the Smithsonian Institution, and from Colonial Williamsburg to the National Museum of American History, Morseth will examine the characteristics of American leadership during times of national challenge and prosperity. Forum delegates will also participate in small-group discussions and exercises to experience first-hand how successful leaders develop strategies, make decisions, build consensus and foster change.

Morseth was nominated and accepted for the honor based on outstanding scholastic merit, civic involvement and leadership potential.

The program is coordinated by the People to People Student Ambassador Programs to fulfill the vision Dwight D. Eisenhower had for fostering world citizenship when he founded People to People during his presidency in 1956. For additional information visit www.wlfleaders.org.

Morseth is son of Judith and Gordon Morseth of Jackson.
