Congratulations Grads and Brad!
While we are sad to be losing a crucial member of our leadership team, it brings us great joy to see Brad graduate this weekend. Brad will be greatly missed in the office but we know that he will be doing great things and further developing his admirable leadership skills. Good luck, Brad!
Brad Anderson is a senior at Metro State majoring in English with a minor in Secondary Education. Brad is so excited to be starting his journey into the world! Brad’s immediate plans are to teach abroad in the Marshall Islands for a year. He will be leaving mid-July. After returning, Brad is currently planning to pursue a master’s degree in either social justice, education, social work, or international affairs. His passions include writing, animals, travel, and learning. Brad is currently student teaching at The Jefferson County Open School. Brad is currently directing The Laramie Project— a play about Matthew Shepard’s murder and what happened to Laramie, Wyoming after the city became the poster-city for hate-crimes. Performances are May 26th, 27th and 28th at 7:00pm with a Saturday Matinee at 2:00pm. Please email Brad at bradley.anderson.co@gmail.com for more information. As part of the play, the cast traveled to Laramie to meet with various people of the town and to further research the play. A firm believer in hands-on experiences, he has his doubts about the current state of education. High-stakes testing, he believes, is an attempt at the privatization of public education. “I’ve just seen so many bad schools, and it’s not because of the teachers, it’s because of the system,” Brad says. Teaching is the most amazing experience, no matter what you have to deal with during the day you can go home and know that you’re actually trying to change the world, being a teacher is like being on the front-lines to save people through education, and Brad can attest that education definitely saved him. In addition to student teaching, Brad is Metro’s Student Scholars Board Representative, a Program Assistant with People to People Student Leadership Programs, and is also Metro’s Urban Leadership Program Assistant. Brad is honored to be Metropolitan State College of Denver’s Campus Leader of the Year. Before leaving for the Marshall Islands Brad will be working with People to People in New York City at Columbia University, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and in the Boston at Harvard.
