COMMONS ROOM NEWS AND VIEWS FROM KENT PLACE
A BRAVE AND BRILLIANT SHOWING
THERE’S MORE THAN ONE WAY TO BE A CHAMPION The Upper School Ethics Bowl team took part in the National Finals in April. Competing behind their screens instead of in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the KPS students made it to the final competition round and finished second overall in the nation. “The competitions were on Zoom,” said Sahana Kapoor ’24, “which required us to adapt and adjust to technological barriers. Not being able to sit among my teammates and discuss the cases while eating dinner together was definitely tougher than I thought it would be.” Dr. Karen Rezach, the founder of the Kent Place Ethics Institute and the team’s coach, was proud of the students’ showing: “They accomplished more than any second- or first-place finish could have given them,” she said: “the dignity of standing up for what you know and believe, maintaining decorum and respect in the face of adversity, and always giving 100 percent.”
