Student Spotlight CAM FARREN '18
Loves About Brebeuf I love the community here at Brebeuf. Everyone here truly cares for one another and want to see you succeed. As a senior, I think it is really convenient how all the seniors’ lockers are on the same floor because it allows all of us to connect as a grade. I also love the freedom Brebeuf students get. PRTs are a great time for me to meet with a teacher or just catch up with my friends. Favorite Class
My favorite class this year is Intro to Entrepreneurship with Mr. VanSlambrook. The class is very interesting and I have a lot of friends in that class with me. My favorite class of all time would have to be my U.S. History class with Mr. Mayer during my sophomore year. I love studying history because of how interesting I find it and Mr. Mayer made the class very enjoyable. Future Plans I plan on attending Denison University to study Economics and continue playing baseball. I also might minor in history as well. Teams & Co-Curriculars Brebeuf Varsity Baseball Random Facts I am the youngest of five children. I have two older brothers in college, a sister who lives in Rhode Island, and another sister who lives in Michigan. I love watching movies, especially 80’s films like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Back to the Future. What is your current favorite show or series on tv, Netflix, etc?
My favorite show on Netflix would have to be How I Met Your Mother because of interesting the concept of the show is. I also love it because there are episodes that make you laugh out loud while others make you cry. If you could travel to any place in the world, where would you go and why?
There are so many places to choose from, but I would love to visit Santorini, Greece because of how beautiful the architecture and scenery looks. Touring the Eiffel Tower and the streets of Paris would also be amazing, and I would love to visit Florence, Italy again. What are your plans for Thanksgiving?
My family is having everyone from my mom’s side over to my house to have Thanksgiving dinner together. I am excited because all of my siblings are coming and I don’t see them often. What advice would you offer our Braves in the Class of 2021?
Don’t blink. I know it does not seem like it, but your senior year will be here before you know it. Your time here at Brebeuf is limited, so make the most out of it by connecting with everyone. Reach out to teachers when you need help and find friends that bring out the best in you. Lastly, do not fall behind! Freshman year grades matter!

St. Thomas Aquinas Hosting a Hesburgh Lecture by Fr. Michael Driscoll
On Thursday, December 14, at 7:00 p.m., St Thomas Aquinas will be hosting a Hesburgh Lecture by Fr. Michael Driscoll.
This series, co-sponsored by the Indy Notre Dame Club, honors Fr. Ted Hesburgh, the late iconic former president of the university.
As a champion of civil rights, scholarship and Catholic education, it is fitting that Fr. Driscoll will speak on a topic that Fr Ted embraced. Entitled “The Eucharist and Social Justice,” he will bring in themes of concern for refugees and immigrants and our Catholic response to the world around us as a Eucharistic community. Fr. Driscoll is an Emeritus Professor of Notre Dame, well known as a popular national speaker and theologian as well as being a personal friend of our own Fr. Michael Hoyt.
All Brebeuf Jesuit families are invited to attend for a stimulating evening with refreshments and discussion to follow.

Congratulations to Brebeuf Jesuit Assistant Principal, Jen LaMaster!
Brebeuf Jesuit Assistant Principal Jen LaMaster has been selected as a member of the International Society for Technology Education (ISTE) Technical Working Group, that will be working to refresh the ISTE Student Standards. From the release:
“The ISTE Standards are refreshed every seven to 10 years to ensure they remain relevant and prepare students for the future, while also allowing schools, districts and states to have time to adopt, implement and show an impact on learning. As part of the refresh process, ISTE is working with a group of thought leaders in education to assist in the development of the latest standards. This group, called the ISTE Technical Working Group, includes administrators and educators both in K-12 and higher education to ensure that ISTE receives input and direction from a diverse group of stakeholders.”
Jen is the only Catholic educator and only private school educator on this committee. What an awesome opportunity! Jen will return to Washington, D.C. to continue her work! Click here to read the full release.

Emily Myers '18 Advocating for Hate Crime Legislation
Senior Emily Myers has started a petition encouraging others to advocate for hate crime laws in Indiana. Emily needs support to take her petition to the next level.
Please read her message below.
From Emily Myers '18:
"After participating in the fall play, The Laramie Project, and attending the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice in Washington, D.C. during the first week of November, I was inspired to take action and advocate for hate crime laws in Indiana, one of five states without hate crime legislation in the United States. Just over a week ago, I started a petition voicing my support for hate crime laws and encouraging others to advocate for hate crime laws in Indiana. Every time my petition receives a signature, an email is sent to local senators and representatives about hate crime laws.
I have reached out to the Matthew Shepard Foundation about my petition and they were incredibly excited about my advocacy. They sent out a media blast about my petition and it has now been signed by people all over the world, including Taiwan, Vietnam, Poland, Germany, Venezuela, and Ireland. Thanks to the support of the Matthew Shepard Foundation, my petition is currently in the top 15% on Change.org.
Next week, Brebeuf's Social Justice Club will be educating Religion classes on the importance of hate crime laws and ways to take action in our own community. I plan to meet with local senator, John Ruckelshaus,on the issue, and I will not stop advocating for these laws until they are passed in Indiana.
If you feel so inspired, I encourage you to sign my petition here, contact or meet with local senators and representatives, and educate those around you on hate crime laws.
Lastly, I would like to thank Brebeuf Jesuit for giving me the opportunity to spread awareness on this issue and encouraging me to combat injustices." - Emily Myers '18
