VBI Third Week Debuts

Josh Anderson assembles an audience
LOS ANGELES, Cali. - After an informal refresher yesterday, providing a well-deserved break in activities, the forty-five students who have remained for the Victory Briefs Institute Third Week have gotten down to business. This morning, students will participate in a ninety-minute topic analysis, to be followed by topic discussion groups.
The teaching faculty at our extension week includes Josh Anderson, Stephen Babb, Tim Case, Mira Chernick, Neil Conrad, Wesley Craven, Jon Cruz, Douglas Jeffers, Jacob Levi, Patrick Mahoney, Eric Melin, Jeremy Schifberg, and Liz Scoggin. Each of our forty-five students has been assigned a mentor for guidance through the research, case-writing, and drilling process this week. One’s mentor is not the only staff member with which a student will interact; indeed, the daily schedule — which consists of combinations of research lab meetings, drill seminars, video analyses, and practice rounds — allows students the chance to work with every single member of our staff every day. A list of students and their mentors can be found here on VBD.
